Boeing Stock Struggles to Keep Pace as Analysts Remain Bullish
The Boeing Company (BA) has been struggling to keep up with the broader market over the past year, surging only 6.4% compared to the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 21.8% surge.
In contrast, its industry benchmark, the State Street Industrials Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLI), has risen 22.8% over the past year and 19.6% in 2026, both outperforming BA stock.
The company's shares have been volatile due to the conflict in the Middle East, with rising oil prices and closing trade routes affecting its performance.
Despite this, analysts remain bullish on the stock, with a consensus 'Strong Buy' rating based on 21 'Strong Buy' ratings, three 'Moderate Buys', and four 'Holds'. Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak maintained a 'Buy' rating for BA and set a price target of $277.
