Position among covered Industrials companies that report each metric (minimum 5 peers). A relative position within our covered catalog — not a valuation, quality, or investment judgment. A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Dividend coverage (FY2025)
Covered by reported results. In FY2025, BA's dividend was covered by reported results (earnings payout 15%). This describes past coverage, not a forecast.
- Earnings payout15% dividends / net income
- Free-cash-flow payoutnot assessable free cash flow was not positive that year
Coverage derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures for FY2025 (dividends paid vs. net income and free cash flow, same fiscal year). This describes PAST coverage for one fiscal year — it does not predict whether a dividend will be maintained, raised, or cut, and a one-year payout ratio can be distorted by non-recurring items. Informational only — not financial advice.
How Boeing looks technically
Boeing (BA) is trading 14.8% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 26 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A strong downtrend is in place — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 32, with sellers in control. Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 36, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 2 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive). It made a new 20-day low about 9 trading days ago. It is 26.2% below its highest point of the past year.
Trend
7
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 14.8% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -14.8% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $210.37 | $210.37 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $220.25 | $220.25 |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing low 10 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 10 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 26 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 26 sessions |

Momentum

| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 36, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 36.0 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading near the bottom of its 14-day range ($184.01 to $204.07) — its "stochastic" reading is 19 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been slipping within that range over the last few sessions. | 18.6 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, turned bullish about 2 trading days ago (its momentum flipped positive) | 2 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $254.35 | $254.35 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 26.2% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -26.2% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 6.2% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +6.2% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 26.2% below its highest point of the past year | 26.2% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day low about 9 trading days ago | 9 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 9 trading days ago | 9 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $446.01 (set on 2019-03-01) | $446.01 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($179.12 to $252.15), and it has given back almost all of its rise from last year’s low — 88% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $204.68 to $207.02. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 88.2% |
| From the all-time high | it is 57.9% below its all-time high | -57.9% |
| Nearest price level | it is sitting right on a resistance level at $188.29 — a price it turned at three times since 2025-01-28, most recently on 2026-03-30. Since 2024-10-08 it has 3 such levels below the current price and 10 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +0.3% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $24.73 (set on 2003-03-12) | $24.73 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 659.2% above its all-time low | +659.2% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 66th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $5.80 between its high and its low — about 3.1% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $5.80 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $180.77 and $211.61 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $180.77 – $196.19 – $211.61 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 3.1% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 3.1% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 5.6 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (14.8% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 5.6 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Candlestick patterns

| Since a doji | 1 session ago it opened and closed at almost the same price after trading through a wider range — a "doji", the classic picture of buyers and sellers finishing the session level | 1 session ago |
|---|---|---|
| Since a bullish engulfing | 5 sessions ago it opened below the previous session's close and finished above that session's open — a "bullish engulfing" pair, where one up day more than undid the down day before it | 5 sessions ago |
Price gaps
3
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-08 1.3% below the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and had not traded back through that level by the close | -1.3% |
|---|---|---|
| Open gap | it gapped 2.8% below the previous close 8 sessions ago and has not traded back through the level it left behind at 198.07 — an "unfilled gap", which describes a price range no trade has since crossed and is not a forecast that it will be crossed | -2.8% |
| Gap filled | a 2.3% gap up opened on 2026-09-30 has been "filled" 6 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it closed again during the very session that opened it | 6 sessions ago |
Price streaks
1
| Closing streak | it has closed lower 4 sessions in a row, a -3% move over the run — an unbroken run of down days, which describes what has already happened and says nothing about the next session | 4 sessions down |

Signal agreement
2
| Bullish technical signals | 2 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state: MACD momentum is positive, near the bottom of its 14-day range (oversold) — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 2 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 5 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, a strong downtrend, with sellers in control, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 5 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 14% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-01 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 2.2% of the share price. | -14.0% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 15% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $219.82 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 190 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -14.6% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 9% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-07-28 (its 10-Q), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $206.89 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 52 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -9.3% |

Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.

Management's Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)
- Added:
- Newer filing (filed 2026-07-28) reports six-month and three-month results for the period ended June 30, 2026, compared to older filing (filed 2026-04-22) which reported only three-month results for the period ended March 31, 2026.
- Newer filing includes a statement that Eliminations and other unallocated items expense decreased due to the absence of a $445 million earnings charge recorded in the second quarter of 2025 related to an agreement with the Department of Justice.
- Newer filing describes amortization of previously capitalized interest changes; older filing did not include narrative for this line item.
- Newer filing describes deferred compensation for six and three months as expense and attributes changes to broad stock market conditions; older filing described deferred compensation for three months as income and attributed changes to broad stock market conditions including Boeing's stock price.
- Newer filing includes Research and Development and Backlog sections (present in older filing but with different period coverage); newer filing also includes six-month revenue and earnings tables not present in older filing.
- Removed:
- Older filing (filed 2026-04-22) included a Research and Development expense table showing Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025 by segment (Commercial Airplanes $603 vs $534, Defense, Space & Security $174 vs $199, Global Services $22 vs $29, Other $104 vs $82, Total $903 vs $844); newer filing does not include this Research and Development table.
- Older filing included a Backlog table as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (Total Backlog $694,709 vs $682,207); newer filing does not include this Backlog table.
- Older filing included the narrative statement that Research and development expense increased by $59 million during the three months ended March 31, primarily due to higher spending at BCA; newer filing does not repeat this statement.
- Older filing included the narrative statement that Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by $2,592 million, or 15%, primarily due to higher revenues at BCA and BDS, and that cost of sales as a percentage of Revenues increased primarily due to lower margins at BGS; newer filing does not include this narrative (table is cut off in newer filing text).
- Reworded:
- Newer filing changed section heading from 'Earnings from Operations' to 'Earnings/(Loss) from Operations'.
- Newer filing changed line item 'Earnings before income taxes' to 'Loss before income taxes' in the Other Earnings Items table.

- Newer filing changed the narrative for cost of sales to include six-month comparisons and the change in cost of sales as a percentage of Revenues; older filing had three-month only.
- Newer filing changed the non-GAAP cross-reference pages from 'pages 44-45' to 'pages 49-50'.
- Newer filing changed the BGS abbreviation usage in cost of sales narrative from 'BGS' to 'Global Services (BGS)'.
- Notes:
- The newer filing text appears truncated mid-sentence in the Cost of Sales section, ending at 'Cost of sales as a'; full newer filing may contain additional narrative not captured here.
- Periods covered differ between filings: older filing covers three months ended March 31, 2026; newer filing covers six months and three months ended June 30, 2026. Many differences reflect the different reporting periods rather than restatements.

BA had 1.80% of its shares outstanding sold short as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (percent of FLOAT would be higher — float is not disclosed in the source). FINRA reported 3.04 days to cover at the same settlement.

Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
