What optimists and skeptics tend to point to, each tied to a filing. Ticker Sage doesn't pick a side, and neither list is a reason to buy or sell.
What the company does
Boeing builds commercial airplanes, military aircraft, satellites and defense systems, and services the planes it sells.
Commercial Airplanes builds the 737, 767, 777 and 787 jets for airlines and leasing companies. Defense, Space & Security builds military aircraft, weapons, satellites and space systems, mainly for the US government. Global Services provides parts, maintenance, training and data services.
Results swing with how many planes it delivers, since most of a plane's price is paid at delivery. Its fiscal year is the calendar year.

About these numbers
- Segment revenue is before intersegment eliminations and Corporate items, so the segments don't add up exactly to total revenue.
- Net income in 2025 includes a large gain on the sale of businesses, so it overstates the profit from ongoing operations; the 10-K gives the details.

Each row is that company’s latest fiscal year from its own 10-K, using its own revenue and net income lines. Fiscal years end in different months, and line definitions differ (banks, insurers and oil companies count revenue differently), so this is a rough side-by-side, not a like-for-like comparison.
