But investors should take these forecasts with a grain of salt because analysts typically say nice things about companies so their firms can win business in other product lines like M&A advisory.

Boeing (BA) has been lifting 737 MAX output to 47 jets a month. On September 16, its chief executive said steadying that pace was taking longer than expected.

If the MAX line cannot steady at 47 a month, what does that mean for Boeing’s financial recovery and stock valuation.

Generating cash is essential for any business, but not all cash-rich companies are great investments. Some produce plenty of cash but fail to allocate it effectively, leading to missed opportunities.

Two battered defense giants, record backlogs, and sharply cheaper entry prices are tempting retirement income investors, but only one of these dividend payers has the cash flow history to keep the checks coming without drama.

A stock that has lost nearly everything this year just announced a $20 million defense order alongside Palantir's name, and the fine print tells a very different story than the headline.

GD vs. GE: Which Stock Is the Better Value Option?

If you own Boeing (BA), the worry is whether its commercial airplane business can earn money on the jets it sells. In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, that business lost money. Its operating margin was negative 2.7%, meaning costs ran above sales. The jet business brought in nearly half of Boeing's revenue for the quarter. That makes its margin the number that matters most for Boeing's profits.

With the latest closing price at US$359.39, the key issue is how much of that upside the market has already recognised in the share price.
