According to MarketBeat, 23 analysts rated Boeing with a Moderate Buy consensus as of September 30, 2026. The average twelve-month target price was USD 270.95, with the highest target at USD 305.00 and the lowest at USD 223.00.

Boeing's Q2 2026 revenue reached USD 24.56 billion, an 8.0% increase from the same quarter a year earlier. However, the company reported an adjusted loss of USD 0.76 per share, missing the USD 0.34 consensus loss by USD 0.42. This combination of revenue growth and earnings shortfall highlights the ongoing challenges in Boeing's turnaround efforts.
The upcoming October report will be crucial for assessing Boeing's progress. The company's market capitalization stood at USD 153.0 billion on October 2, 2026, with a 52-week range of USD 176.77 to USD 254.35. The central tension for investors is the valuation gap, with the average analyst target of USD 270.95 sitting above the current stock price, while the latest quarterly report still showed a loss per share.
