# The Boeing Company (BA) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Industrials / Aerospace & Defense. Price $212.25, market value $167.8 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 76.3×** (5-yr avg 87.5×, 3-yr avg 87.5×). The Boeing Company trades at 76.3× trailing earnings, close to its own five-year average of 87.5×. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 51.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 0.45**. A PEG of 0.45 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.8×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.8×.
- **Price / book: 27.5×**. The shares trade at 27.5× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **EV / EBITDA: 32.2×**. Enterprise value is 32.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; above 20× is demanding.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -0.1%** (5-yr avg -2.5%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 1.3%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.3% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 4.7%**. The Boeing Company keeps 4.7% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 4.9%**. 4.9% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 2.5%**. 2.5% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 41.0%**. 41.0% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.
- **Return on invested capital: 6.4%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 6.4%.
- **Return on assets: 1.4%**. Each dollar of assets produces 1.4% of profit.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 34.5%** (3-yr 10.3%/yr, 5-yr 9.0%/yr). Revenue grew 34.5% over the last year, against 9.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 113.5%**. Earnings per share rose 113.5%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 11.42**. Debt is 11.42 times equity, a leveraged balance sheet that needs steady cash flow to service.
- **Net debt / EBITDA: 7.6×**. It would take 7.6 years of operating earnings to repay net borrowings, above the 3× level most lenders treat as comfortable.
- **Altman Z-score: 1.28**. A Z-score of 1.28 is in the distress zone, a signal to examine the balance sheet closely.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
