Boeing released strong results for its first quarter fiscal
year 2014 on Wednesday, and after the announcement of the results BA Stocks surged by 3% the same day.
The analysts believe that BA Stocks might
seem to be expensive at around 18x 2014 earnings but it is quite appropriate in
terms of premium multiple. The performance of Boeing is mainly influenced by
the airlines overall performance, if the airline industry performs well than it
will have the purchasing power to buy new airplanes and for that they will
consider Boeing first as it has been the most reliable company so far. The
innovative airplanes of Boeing have become a significant part of the airline
industry as the airplanes are quite fuel efficient. This makes perfect sense
for the 5 years backlog of the company for upcoming years. The company’s
positioning in the aerospace market is quite strong, that gives the company an
edge to be profitable for the upcoming years. Boeing’s earning per share for
the first quarter fiscal year 2014 was $1.76 higher than the expected per share
earnings of $1.56 on revenues of $20 billion. The estimated revenues for the
quarter were $100 million lower than the actual revenues generated by the
company. Although the company has been facing quite a trouble in past one year,
but still the revenues of the company was up by 8.3% year over year. The
company’s core operating earnings were up around 12% up to $2.095 billion
because of the company’s strong margins. The commercial division of Boeing’s
performance was quite well for the quarter and the revenue increased by 19%
with operating profits of 23%.
