On Oct 13, Boeing also disclosed that it delivered 161 commercial aircraft in the third quarter, including 124 737s and 22 787s, bringing the year‑to‑date total to 475.

Earnings Summary
Boeing, a global aerospace and defense leader headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, operates through Commercial Airplanes, Defense, Space & Security, and Global Services segments, delivering passenger and cargo aircraft, military platforms, and support services. In the last two quarters (Q1 2026 and Q2 2026), revenue rose from $22.217B to $24.56B, a 10.4% increase, while EPS moved from a modest loss of $0.20 to $0.76, still negative but improving relative to prior quarters; the company beat EPS estimates in Q1 2026 (actual $0.20 vs estimate $0.16) but missed in Q2 2026 (actual $0.76 vs estimate $0.31). Historically, Boeing has shown a YoY revenue growth trend of roughly 8–12% over the past four quarters, with EPS consistently negative but trending toward less loss, indicating a gradual improvement in profitability despite ongoing cost pressures. The company’s recent news highlights a new U.S. Navy F/A-XX contract and a record $715B commercial order book, alongside a large 140‑unit 737 MAX order from Avolon, underscoring sustained demand for its commercial and defense products; these developments likely support the upward revenue trajectory seen in Q2 2026.

The Boeing Company is consolidating: price is near its 52-week low without a decisive push either way. The stock is liquid enough that positioning changes get absorbed without distorting the trend.

47%

The Boeing Company is currently running 35.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against BA's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 74th percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 26.9%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

BA is trading -57.7% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -26.3%, and the deepest was -72.7% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -14.9% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 12th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year BA closed higher on 47% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, BA finished the month higher 6 of 14 times, with a median return of -0.5% and an average of -0.3%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +7.4% on average, its weakest March at -5.6%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: BA has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 62 of 3,268 sessions (1.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +8.4% and -7.2%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, BA moved an average of 1.8% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -1.3% and a largest of -3.2%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-15 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against BA's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
