America's largest aerospace and defense company, spanning 737/787 jets to the F-47, satellites, and ULA
Boeing
Boeing is the largest U.S. aerospace and defense company, operating three segments: Commercial Airplanes (BCA), Defense, Space & Security (BDS) and Global Services (BGS). FY2025 revenue was $89.5 billion, up 34% from $66.5 billion a year earlier, and backlog reached $682 billion. Commercial deliveries totaled 600 in 2025 (447 737s, 88 787s, 35 777s, 30 767s), the most since 2018, helped by mega-orders such as Qatar Airways' deal for up to 210 widebodies. About 35% of revenue came from U.S. government contracts (including FMS), and in March 2025 Boeing won the U.S. Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance fighter program, designated the F-47. In space, Boeing builds SES's O3b mPOWER and Viasat's ViaSat-3 satellites on its 702-family platforms, produces the core stage of NASA's SLS rocket and the CST-100 Starliner crew capsule, and co-owns launch provider ULA 50/50 with Lockheed Martin. Starliner is still not certified to carry crew, so its next flight has been reset to an uncrewed cargo mission and certification has slipped to 2027. In December 2025 Boeing completed its acquisition of 737 fuselage supplier Spirit AeroSystems, bringing a critical part of its supply chain in-house.

YTD as of 2026-07-10 · source: Yahoo Finance
Boeing operates across America's largest aerospace and defense company, spanning 737/787 jets to the F-47, satellites, and ULA. It is +2.8% in 2026. The demand side (avg +60.8%) is well ahead of the stock (+2.8%). Customer money has not fully worked its way down to this layer, which leaves catch-up room if propagation continues and a hardened gap if it stalls. Among connected nodes the furthest ahead is Viasat (+104.3%) and the furthest behind is Korea Aerospace Industries (-14%). If chain logic explains the gap, the laggard is the next propagation candidate; if not, the link itself deserves a second look. In December 2025 Boeing completed its acquisition of 737 fuselage supplier Spirit AeroSystems, bringing a critical part of its supply chain in-house.
