About
Boeing is one of the world's two dominant commercial aircraft manufacturers and a major defense and space contractor, founded in 1916 by William Boeing in Seattle, Washington and now headquartered in Arlington, Virginia—relocated from Chicago in 2022. The company trades on NYSE (BA) and reported approximately $66.5 billion in revenues for FY2024 under CEO Kelly Ortberg, who replaced Dave Calhoun in August 2024 amid a deepening quality and manufacturing crisis. Boeing's commercial aircraft division—the 737 MAX, 787 Dreamliner, and 777X—has been plagued by a series of safety, quality, and production crises beginning with the two fatal 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019 (Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines, killing 346 people), followed by a door plug blowout on an Alaska Airlines 737-9 MAX in January 2024 that triggered renewed FAA production rate restrictions and public confidence damage.
Wilmington DE specialty materials (NYSE: DD) at $12.4B 2024 revenue; Electronics business separation underway (semiconductor/advanced packaging materials), 2025 guidance $12.8-12.9B competing with Entegris and BASF.
About
DuPont de Nemours, Inc. is a Wilmington, Delaware-based specialty materials and chemicals company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: DD) as an S&P 500 Materials component — providing advanced materials, specialty chemicals, and performance solutions for electronics, water treatment, safety applications, and industrial manufacturing through approximately 24,000 employees worldwide. In full year 2024, DuPont reported net sales of $12.4 billion (+3% year-over-year) and adjusted EPS of $4.07, with Q4 2024 net sales of $3.1 billion (+7%). For 2025, DuPont guided net sales of $12.8-12.9 billion with operating EBITDA of $3.325-3.375 billion. DuPont's defining strategic development of 2024-2025 is its announced separation into multiple independent companies: the Electronics business (semiconductor materials, advanced packaging materials, display technologies) is being separated as a standalone public company, targeting the multi-hundred-billion-dollar semiconductor materials market, while the remaining DuPont retains the Water & Protection and industrial specialty chemical businesses. This separation, when completed, will concentrate each business on its distinct end market — semiconductor advanced packaging materials (a high-growth AI chipmaking input) versus industrial protection and water purification applications. DuPont's heritage traces to 1802 when Éleuthère Irénée du Pont founded E.I. du Pont de Nemours to manufacture gunpowder, making it one of America's oldest continuously operating corporations.
