Boeing Q2 Earnings: Boeing (BA) is all set to release its Q2 earnings this Tuesday. Investors are eager to see how CEO Kelly Ortberg continues his mission to revive the struggling aerospace giant.
So far, his leadership and a wave of positive trade developments have lifted confidence. Boeing stock has already jumped over 30% this year.
Analysts expect the company to report $21.68 billion in revenue, according to Bloomberg estimates. That’s a sharp rise from the $16.9 billion it posted a year ago.
Back then, Boeing was facing serious production challenges. The biggest blow came after a door plug failure on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max, which triggered a major slowdown.
Boeing’s financial struggles aren’t over just yet. The company is expected to post a core loss of $1.40 per share in the second quarter. It’s also projected to report an operating loss of about $161.1 million.
Another key focus will be its free cash flow — or more accurately, its cash burn. Last quarter, Boeing burned through $2.3 billion. This time, that figure is expected to improve slightly to $1.8 billion.
On the market front, Boeing stock showed little movement early Tuesday. It ticked up just 0.1% before the opening bell.
Boeing, once the world’s leading aircraft maker, is now trying to bounce back. The company had a rough start to 2024.
It all began with the door plug blowout incident in January — a moment that shook confidence in its safety standards.
Things got worse with ongoing issues at Spirit AeroSystems, one of Boeing’s key suppliers. Whistleblower complaints soon followed.
These raised serious concerns about how the 737 Max and the 787 Dreamliner were being built.
The growing pressure eventually led to a leadership shake-up. Dave Calhoun stepped down as CEO.

In his place, Kelly Ortberg was brought in. He was named CEO in late July and will officially take over on August 8.
Kelly Ortberg didn’t rush into fixes. He slowed Boeing’s jet production on purpose. The goal was to sort out long-standing manufacturing issues.
He worked closely with FAA officials to make sure the recovery stayed on track. Only after making real progress did he begin to increase output again.
This month, Boeing gave an update on its commercial deliveries. The company shipped 150 jets in the second quarter. That’s an improvement from 130 in Q1 and a big rise from 92 in the same period last year.
Here’s the breakdown — 737 Max deliveries rose to 102, up from 69 a year ago. The company also delivered 24 Dreamliners, compared to just nine last year.
Deliveries of the 777 reached 13, while the 767 totaled nine. Both saw increases from last year’s numbers.
Back in late May, Ortberg talked about Boeing’s production plans. He said the goal was to reach 42 units of the 737 Max per month by midyear.
By year-end, the company would evaluate whether it’s ready to move up to 47 jets a month.
Shortly after Ortberg’s remarks, analyst Louie DiPalma from William Blair shared his view.
He noted that Boeing is making strong progress. However, he also warned that the ramp-up could be slower than first expected.
Originally, he believed Boeing could hit 47 jets per month by the end of 2025. But now, he feels mid-2026 is a more realistic timeline.
Boeing ran into more trouble this June. An Air India 787 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad Airport. Early signs point to pilot error.
It looks like the engine fuel control switches were accidentally set to “cut-off.” Investigators are still trying to figure out how that happened and why.
On a brighter note, former President Trump announced a trade deal with the European Union. That’s good news for both the aviation and auto industries.
There were real concerns that the EU might hit back with steep tariffs on U.S. aircraft parts. But with the deal in place, those fears have eased — at least for now.
