4. The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 96 

The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA), a major aerospace and defense firm, is in a significant recovery phase as of mid-2025. The company reported $22.7 billion in revenue for Q2 2025, its highest in six years, despite a net loss of $612 million. This marks a notable improvement from the $1.4 billion loss in the same quarter of 2024, reflecting progress after production setbacks, a regulatory crisis, a major strike, and lingering issues with the 737 MAX.

Under CEO Kelly Ortberg, who assumed leadership in August 2024, The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) is focusing on quality, safety, and production stability. The corporation delivered 280 commercial aircraft in the first half of 2025, its highest since before the 737 MAX crisis. The business has increased monthly production of the 737 MAX to 38 units and plans to seek FAA approval to raise that to 42, contingent on meeting performance standards. The FAA had previously imposed production limits following a 2024 MAX 9 incident.

Challenges persist, especially with certification delays for the MAX 7 and MAX 10 variants, now pushed to 2026 due to engine de-icing system issues. Meanwhile, The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) is ramping up production of the 787 Dreamliner to seven units per month in South Carolina and awaiting FAA approval for new 777X models.
