Boeing stock price

Aside from a few price drops, the Boeing stock price went from under $6 in 1980 to over $100 in September 2007. It then dropped by nearly 70% in the next eighteen months - mainly due to the financial crash and heavy competition from European rival Airbus. 

From February 2009, BA stockholders enjoyed a rising price trend until it reached a 58-year high of over $440 on March 1, 2019, despite dips and negative sentiment resulting from its two Boeing 737 MAX crashes. 

The stock price remained volatile above $300 until the end of January 2020, when it plummeted to $95 by March 20 due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. By June 2020, the price had doubled to $200 but has a long way to go to reach its early 2019 highs.

What the bears are saying

• We may never fly the same way again: With the impact of COVID-19 still spreading across the world (and getting worse by the day), it may be years until we can fly like we used to.
• Orders are being canceled: Boeing has a significant order book for new planes (over 4,000). However, gaining new orders may be challenging due to the uncertainty of future air travel.
• Airbus is a strong competitor: European rival Airbus is hot on the heels of Boeing, with the launch of new ultramodern planes like the A330neo and A350 XWB.

What the bulls are saying

• Boeing is a stable company with a wide range of businesses: Boeing has lucrative, long-term contracts with the Department of Defence and NASA that contribute significant sums to the company’s revenues.  
• It still has a good list of orders: A lot of orders might be getting canceled by airlines around the world; however, 4,700+ orders (at the time of writing) is no small number.
• The Dreamliner is revolutionary: The recently launched 787 Dreamliner is a widebody plane made from highly advanced composites, for lightweight, fuel-efficient operation. It is expected to draw large numbers of orders as the world ‘reopens’ once more.
