The Boeing Company (BA) has finally broken a long cycle of financial pain, closing the chapter on nearly seven years of persistent setbacks. The aerospace and defense giant reported quarterly revenue of $23.9 billion, up around 57% year-over-year (YOY), its highest since 2018, marking a decisive inflection driven by operational discipline, higher commercial deliveries, and stronger defense volumes.
This rebound matters because Boeing burned roughly $40 billion between the first quarter of 2019, after the second fatal 737 Max crash, and the third quarter of 2025. Although operational momentum has reinforced this recovery. Boeing delivered 600 aircraft last year, almost double the 2024 total and the strongest delivery count since 2018.
