A better-than-expected 2Q for Boeing: Aircraft manufacturing giant Boeing recorded a 35% y-o-y jump in its 2Q 2025 top line to USD 22.7 bn — reflected in its 150 commercial carrier deliveries during the quarter, which soared nearly 63% y-o-y, according to the company's earnings. The US-based firm’s bottom line settled at a USD 612 mn net loss, beating analysts’ predictions of a larger swell, Reuters reports.

On a six-month basis: Boeing saw a 26% y-o-y increase in its 1H 2025 top line, while it recorded a net loss of 64% y-o-y to USD 643 mn. The firm delivered 206 737 Max jets in 1H, up nearly 52% y-o-y from 135 in 1H 2024.

Boeing ramped up its 737 production line to 38 jets per month in 2Q. The firm’s total backlog soared to USD 619 bn — comprising over 5.9k commercial aircraft. The firm secured 303 new orders in May, its sixth-highest monthly figure ever. The planemaker also saw a gigantic Qatar Airways order for 160 jets with an option to add 50 more in the same month.

REMEMBER- Boeing is benefiting from a trend of nations seeking to boost aviation ties with Washington in a bid to gain a bargaining chip in ongoing tariff trade talks.
