MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Boeing
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in The Boeing Company:

  • The Federal Aviation Administration has certified the 737 MAX 10, clearing a major regulatory hurdle that allows The Boeing Company to begin deliveries of the largest variant in its narrowbody family, which is expected to stabilize production and support a significant recovery in cash flow as the company converts its backlog of nearly 1,500 aircraft into customer payments.
  • The introduction of Dataliner, a new AI-powered data intelligence platform developed with Microsoft, positions The Boeing Company to capture recurring, higher-margin software revenue by helping airlines utilize fleet data for predictive maintenance, which could help offset pressure in the Global Services segment and improve long-term profitability.
  • With the stock currently trading at $192.32, The Boeing Company is trading at a discount to its 52-week high of $254.35, offering a potential entry point for investors who believe the recent certification and production ramp-up will drive a re-rating of the stock toward the consensus price target of $266.96.
  • Boeing is ramping narrowbody production toward approximately 52 jets per month in 2027, a significant increase that should improve delivery volumes and help the company advance its longer-term free-cash-flow objectives, while the avoidance of a labor strike reduces near-term execution risk for the business.
  • Wall Street analysts maintain a consensus rating of Moderate Buy with a price target of $266.96, suggesting that the current market price undervalues the company's potential for growth as it recovers from previous operational challenges and benefits from the newly approved 737 MAX 10 deliveries.

Boeing
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in The Boeing Company for these reasons:

  • The Boeing Company is expected to report negative earnings for the current fiscal year, with analysts forecasting an EPS of -1.07, reflecting ongoing financial pressures including an approximately $700 million Department of Justice settlement and continued cash burn that may deter risk-averse investors.
  • The company faces significant near-term cash-flow risks due to defense cost overruns and the need to recover roughly $13 billion in deferred 737 production costs, which could strain liquidity and limit the company's ability to invest in new technologies or return capital to shareholders in the short term.
  • Despite the positive certification news, the stock has not produced a strong immediate reaction because the approval was largely anticipated by the market, indicating that investors remain skeptical about the company's ability to execute on future delivery commitments and translate regulatory wins into sustained financial performance.
  • The Boeing Company has a high debt-to-equity ratio of 6.77 and a quick ratio of 0.33, suggesting that the company may face challenges in meeting its short-term obligations and could be vulnerable to economic downturns or further operational disruptions that impact its cash generation.
  • Several prominent investment firms, including Goldman Sachs and Cantor Fitzgerald, have downgraded The Boeing Company to a Hold or Neutral rating, reflecting concerns about the company's valuation and the uncertainty surrounding its ability to achieve its long-term financial goals despite recent operational improvements.
