Our model rates BA Weak (38/100) on growth, profitability, financial health, and valuation. The summary below is built from its filed financials and current ratios and refreshes automatically.
Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (10 years of history).
The numbers don't show a durable competitive advantage — margins, growth, or returns on capital have been unstable or thin. Great returns are still possible; they just aren't protected.
3.9% average over the last 3 years
±8.7 pts around 7.1% across 10 years
grew in 6 of the last 9 year-over-year periods
positive in 5 of 10 years
6.0% latest fiscal year
A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what BA's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. BA trades near $231.92, above its 50-day average ($223.78) and 200-day average ($218.32). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 55 it is in neutral territory — neither stretched nor washed out.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. BA's is $6.42 (~2.8% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. Over the last month BA found buyers near $207.95 (support) and sellers near $231.34 (resistance); its 52-week range is $176.77–$254.35. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 1.0× the 20-day average — about normal. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

ROE
143.6%
Boeing keeps about 2.5% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 4.8% gross margin and 4.8% operating margin. Return on equity is 143.6% and return on invested capital about 6.0%. Thin margins leave less cushion if costs rise.

Net Debt / EBITDA

Debt / Equity

Leverage: debt-to-equity is 9.9x, with a current ratio of 1.2x. That is elevated leverage, which raises risk if earnings or rates move against it. It carries roughly $46.96B of total debt against $9.44B of cash.
Operating CF

FCF Margin
-2.1%
In the latest year Boeing produced about $1.06B of operating cash flow but negative free cash flow as it invested heavily. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about -0.7% on today's price. Cash flow is what ultimately pays shareholders, so it is worth tracking over time.

Educational model on sample fundamentals — not a forecast or investment advice. Outputs are only as good as your assumptions.
The case for BA:
- Revenue is growing 32.8% a year, a sign of real demand.
- Strong return on equity (143.6%) shows capital is put to work well.
The case against BA:
- Thin net margins (2.5%) leave little room for error.
- Elevated leverage (debt/equity 9.9x) adds financial risk.
- A rich 80.3x earnings multiple prices in a lot of growth.
- Limited free cash flow at today's price.
- Our model's overall read is Weak (38/100).
Valuation risk — at 80.3x earnings, disappointing results could compress the multiple.
Balance-sheet risk — debt/equity of 9.9x magnifies the impact of higher rates or weaker earnings.
Margin risk — thin profitability (2.5%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: Boeing is a large-cap industrials business still growing nicely, with modest profitability, and a heavier debt load to watch. It trades at 80.3x earnings, which our model scores Weak (38/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.
