Boeing (NYSE:BA) reported second-quarter revenue that exceeded analyst expectations, supported by stronger operational performance and increased commercial airplane deliveries. Following the announcement, Boeing shares gained over 2% in U.S. premarket trading.
The company’s commercial airplanes division posted sales of $10.87 billion, beating the Bloomberg consensus estimate of $10.4 billion. Revenue from Boeing’s defense segment also came in higher than anticipated.
“Our fundamental changes to enhance safety and quality are yielding better results as we stabilize operations and deliver higher-quality aircraft and services to customers,” said CEO Kelly Ortberg. Ortberg, appointed in 2024, has been leading efforts to rebuild Boeing’s reputation after a mid-air panel failure on one of its passenger jets raised safety concerns.
Boeing remains involved in global trade disputes, but Ortberg noted the company has been navigating recent U.S. tariff increases. Key developments include a trade truce between the U.S. and China and a preliminary agreement with the European Union that exempts aircraft from tariffs.
“Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, we are focused on restoring trust and continuing our recovery amid a dynamic global environment,” Ortberg added.
The company reported a core loss per share of $1.24 for the quarter, less severe than analysts had feared.
