Boeing Q2 results: Firm reports narrowing of losses; revenue rises; details you need to know

The company's second-quarter loss narrowed and revenue improved as the aircraft manufacturer delivered more commercial planes in the period.

Boeing lost $611 million, or 92 cents per share, for the three months ended June 30. A year earlier, it reported a loss of $1.44 billion, or $2.33 per share.

"Adjusting for one-time gains, Boeing lost $1.24 per share. This was better than the loss of $1.54 per share that analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research expected," news agency AP reported.

Boeing Q2: Other key numbers

Revenue climbed to $22.75 billion from $16.87 billion, mostly due to 150 commercial deliveries compared with 92 deliveries in the prior-year period.

The performance topped Wall Street's estimate of $21.86 billion, the report added.

The results highlighted Boeing's efforts to cautiously increase monthly output this year, following years of quality issues and production delays on its flagship 737 MAX.

"Increased deliveries mark a pivotal step in Boeing's effort to rebound from years of production disruptions and crises that piled on debt, increasing the urgency of accelerating output to restore financial stability," said a Reuters report.

Boeing has been dealing with a variety of issues over the past few years.

Boeing was in the news last month when a 787 flown by Air India crashed shortly after takeoff and killed at least 270 people in Gujarat.

An Air India passenger plane bound for London's Gatwick Airport crashed shortly after taking off in Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025, killing 260 people. The crash killed 242 people on board the flight and 19 others on the ground, with only one survivor from the plane, BBC reported.

On Sunday, Boeing said it expects more than 3,200 union workers at three St. Louis-area plants that produce US fighter jets to strike after they rejected a proposed contract that included a 20% wage increase over four years.

The International Machinists and Aerospace Workers union said the vote by District 837 members was overwhelmingly against the proposed contract. The existing contract was to expire at 11:59 pm. Central Time Sunday, but the union said a “cooling off” period would keep a strike from beginning for another week, until Aug 4.

Last fall, Boeing offered a general wage increase of 38% over four years to end a 53-day strike by 33,000 aircraft workers producing passenger aircraft.

In June the National Transportation Safety Board said that its 17-month-long investigation found that lapses in Boeing's manufacturing and safety oversight, combined with ineffective inspections and audits by the Federal Aviation Administration, led to a door plug panel flying off Alaska Airlines flight 1282, which was a Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft, last year.

Boeing said in a statement at the time that it will review the NTSB report and will continue working on strengthening safety and quality across its operations.

The Max version of Boeing's bestselling 737 aeroplane has been the source of persistent troubles for the company since two of the jets crashed, one in Indonesia in 2018 and another in Ethiopia in 2019, killing a combined 346 people.

In May, the Justice Department reached a deal allowing Boeing to avoid criminal prosecution for allegedly misleading US regulators about the Max before the two crashes.
