oeing reported second-quarter 2025 revenue of $22.7 billion, marking a 35% year‑on‑year increase, driven by 150 commercial aircraft deliveries—up from 92 in the same period last year. Net loss narrowed to $612 million, compared to a $1.44 billion loss in Q2 2024, while core (non‑GAAP) loss per share came in at $1.24, better than market expectations.

The commercial airplanes division booked 455 net orders, helped drive revenue of $10.9 billion, and raised the company’s total backlog to approximately $619 billion. Operating cash flow was $227 million, with free cash flow usage of $200 million.

CEO Kelly Ortberg emphasized ongoing improvements in safety, quality, and operational stability, noting current 737 MAX production at 38 jets per month, with plans to seek FAA approval to reach 42 jets/month later in 2025. Despite positive momentum, Boeing’s stock slipped around 4% as investors weighed lingering concerns over safety, certification delays and potential labor disputes.
