Boeing Co. shares have remained steady in recent weeks, despite the company facing a multitude of challenges in the past year. The stock price has hovered around $211 per share on the New York Stock Exchange, with a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 36.90 as of June 2.
Challenges Faced
The aerospace and defense giant has been plagued by issues related to:
- The COVID-19 pandemic
- Supply chain disruptions
These challenges have impacted its production and delivery schedules for commercial aircraft. However, Boeing has made significant strides in addressing these problems and improving its operations.
Specialized Component Production
One area where Boeing excels is in producing specialized components for various industries, including aerospace and defense. These components are critical for many companies operating within these sectors, such as:
- American Airlines Group Inc.
- Airbus SE
- Lockheed Martin Corp.
- Northrop Grumman Corp.
- Raytheon Technologies Corp.
- United Airlines Holdings Inc.
- Delta Air Lines Inc.
- Southwest Airlines Co.
- FedEx Corp.
- UPS Holdings LLC
- Amazon.com Inc.’s Prime Air unit
- General Electric Co.’s GE Aviation division
- Pratt & Whitney’s parent company United Technologies Corp.
- Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC’s engine business unit
Boeing is one of only two independent manufacturers globally capable of producing certain types of parts used by both commercial airlines and military jets. A company spokesperson stated, "This is an area where we have a unique capability. We’re proud to be able to provide critical parts for both commercial and military applications."
Maintenance Services
In addition to its component production capabilities, Boeing also offers maintenance services through its Global Services division. This division provides:
- Repair work on engines from General Electric Co.’s GE Aviation division
- Services for Pratt & Whitney’s parent company United Technologies Corp.
- Support for Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC’s engine business unit
This allows Boeing customers access to spare engines that can be swapped out quickly during flight delays or cancellations caused by mechanical issues. This capability reduces downtime costs associated with waiting several days or even weeks for replacement parts from other suppliers, such as those provided by CFM International SA, a joint venture between General Electric Company (GE) and Safran SA (SAF.PA).
Conclusion
Overall, Boeing’s ability to produce specialized components has enabled it to maintain its market position despite facing numerous challenges over the years. As of June 2, shares were trading at $211 per share at 12:30 p.m. ET.
