Boeing’s Deliveries Come in Strong as Its Turnaround Moves Forward

• Boeing on Tuesday reported second-quarter deliveries that topped analysts’ estimates, as the plane maker continues to ramp up its production.

• Commercial deliveries were up to 150 planes from 92 in the same period last year, when Boeing was in the midst of safety investigations and production limits.

• Shares of Boeing have added about 24% in 2025 so far.

Boeing (BA) on Tuesday reported second-quarter deliveries that topped analysts’ estimates, as the plane maker continues its turnaround under a new CEO.

Boeing’s commercial planes segment delivered 150 planes in the quarter, up from 92 in the same quarter a year ago and well above the 129 analysts had expected, according to Visible Alpha estimates.

The 150 delivered commercial jets included 104 of Boeing’s 737 aircraft, up from 70 a year ago, when production had slowed as Boeing burned through billions of dollars amid safety investigations and production limits after the January 2024 Alaska Airlines (ALK) incident in which a door plug detached midflight.

Boeing also delivered 36 helicopters and jets in its defense segment, four more than analysts had expected and up from 28 last year. The plane maker said it will report its full second-quarter results on July 29.

In its last quarterly report, Boeing also topped deliveries estimates, while concerns remained about how the Trump administration’s tariffs could affect the company and its dealings with airlines based in China and other countries. Boeing in April reported a narrower first-quarter loss than expected, with some analysts saying the plane maker was making progress on getting back to the growth that was forecast before the door-plug incident.

Boeing shares were little changed in recent trading Tuesday. They are up about 24% since the start of the year, recently hitting their highest levels since their slide in January 2024.
