Boeing’s shares surged 16% in early 2026 but have since fallen 26% from a late-January peak, underperforming Airbus and GE. Despite macroeconomic shocks, FAA delays, and a potential labor strike, Wall Street remains overwhelmingly bullish—no analyst recommends selling. Bank of America’s Ronald Epstein calls the dip a compelling entry point, noting most headwinds have resolved.
Yet Boeing trades at 71x estimated earnings, the priciest in the Dow, and faces challenges: slow 737 Max certification, $100 oil, and weak cash flow. CEO Kelly Ortberg and CFO Jesus Malave Jr. warn of ongoing hurdles, including 777X testing and subdued deliveries. A lasting rebound hinges on resolving 737 issues and restoring investor trust.
