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.
Third-largest US containerboard/corrugated producer; $8.1B FY2024 revenue; 96%+ mill utilization; e-commerce packaging tailwind; NYSE: PKG amid industry mega-merger reshaping.
