Is Boeing Stock Outperforming the Dow?

With a market cap of $179.5 billion, The Boeing Company (BA) is one of the world’s largest aerospace and defense contractors. It designs, manufactures, and services commercial jetliners, military aircraft, satellites, missile defense systems, and space exploration technologies for customers worldwide. 

Companies worth more than $10 billion are generally labeled as “large-cap” stocks, and Boeing fits this criterion perfectly. The company operates through three main segments: Commercial Airplanes, Defense, Space & Security, and Global Services.
