About The Boeing Company
The Boeing Company is a global aerospace manufacturer that designs, develops, produces, and supports commercial jetliners, military aircraft, satellites, missile defense systems, human spaceflight vehicles, and launch technologies. Its operations are organized into four segments, including Commercial Airplanes, which builds passenger and cargo jets and provides fleet support services, and Defense, Space & Security, which covers research, development, and production of military and space systems. Boeing also provides related services worldwide across its commercial and government programs.
Why it matters
Boeing is one of the largest aerospace and defense companies in the world and a major supplier to commercial airlines, cargo operators, and government customers, including the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA. Its Commercial Airplanes segment competes primarily with Airbus in the global large commercial jet market, while its defense and space businesses compete with other major contractors. Investors and traders watch Boeing because of its scale, its role in global air travel and defense procurement, and the sensitivity of its results to aircraft delivery rates, order activity, program execution, and regulatory and supply chain developments.
