Shares are down 27% so far this year as aerospace group delivers free cash flow well in excess of expectationsA $2.8 billion loss by its defence unit pushed Boeing to another earnings miss. Photograph: T. Narayan/BloombergBoeing fell short of Wall Street’s estimates for third-quarter sales and profit, dragged down by $2.8 billion in defence losses from cost overruns on its aerial tanker, Air Force One and other military contracts.
That marked the fifth consecutive earnings miss as the Arlington, Virginia-based manufacturer has grappled with supplier strains, pandemic-related challenges and the financial toll from two 737 Max crashes. Boeing said Wednesday that it had an adjusted loss of $6.18 a share, while analysts predicted slightly positive earnings. Revenue was $16 billion, while analysts expected $17.7 billion on average.
Still, the aviation titan provided a tantalising glimpse of its financial potential, generating $2.9 billion in free cash flow as it resumed 787 Dreamliner deliveries after a lengthy halt.
