Boeing’s Sales Jump Nearly 60% in Q4 as More Planes Are Delivered

Boeing’s sales surged nearly 60% in the fourth quarter as the aerospace company digs itself out of a string of crises that tarnished its reputation. It was the strongest quarter for airplane deliveries since 2018, Michelle Chapman reported for the Associated Press (AP).

Revenue soared to $23.95 billion from $15.24 billion for the three months ended Dec. 31, topping the $22.6 billion analysts polled by FactSet were expecting.

Boeing recorded 160 commercial deliveries in the quarter, more than double the 57 deliveries in the prior-year period. Deliveries are an important source of cash for plane manufacturers, since buyers typically pay a large portion of the purchase price when their orders are fulfilled.

“We made significant progress on our recovery in 2025 and have set the foundation to keep our momentum going in the year ahead,” Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said in a recent statement.

Arlington, Virginia-based Boeing posted a profit of $8.13 billion, or $10.23 per share, in the period.

That compares with a loss of $3.92 billion, or $5.46 per share, a year earlier. The quarter included a $9.67 billion gain related to the closing sale of parts of its Digital Aviation Solutions business.
