Thetortellini skewers with balsamic glaze Boeing Company

BA recently secured a $400-million contract to provide recurring and non-recurring engineering services to B-1 and B-52 aircraft. The contract was awarded by the Air Force Life Cycle Management, Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma City, OK.

Work related to the deal will be performed in Tinker Air Force Base, OK, Edwards Air Force Base, CA, Barksdale Air Force Base, LA, and Oklahoma City, OK, and is expected to get completed by Dec 31, 2019.

Advantages of Boeing’s B-1 & B-52 Bomber

Boeing's B-1 is a long-range, multi-mission, supersonic conventional bomber, which is equipped to carry eight air-launched cruise missiles or 24 SRAMs alongside carrying up to 24 nuclear bombs or 84 500-pound conventional bombs.

The Boeing B-52 primarily provides the U.S. military with immediate nuclear and conventional global strike capabilities. Due to its high mission-capable rate, large payload, long range, persistence and ability to employ both nuclear and conventional precision standoff weapons, the B-52 continues to be a critical contributor to the U.S. National Security Strategy.

What Favors Boeing?

As Boeing’s key forte lies in the manufacturing of combat-proven aircraft, the company has inevitably secured large number of contracts from the Pentagon for long. The recent contract win is again one such example. Also, in recent times, Boeing’s various aerospace programs along with its vast portfolio of associated services are witnessing rapid rise in demand, due to the geopolitical uncertainties looming worldwide. Such growing demand bodes well for the company’s growth, going ahead.

Furthermore, midway last year, the U.S. Senate approved the fiscal 2019 defense budget provisioning for major war fighting investments worth $21.7 billion for aircraft. Such proposed inclusions reflect solid growth prospects for Boeing's Defense, Space & Security Segment (“BDS”) segment, which, in turn, are likely to boost the profit margin.

This, inevitably, will increase demand for the company’s various technical services, pivotal for upgrading military aircraft. Additionally, such proposed inclusions reflect solid growth prospects for the BDS segment.

Price Performance

Shares of Boeing have gained about 8.6% in a year, against the industry’s decline of 7.7%. The outperformance was primarily led by significant demand for the company’s military jets across the globe and robust long-term demand for its commercial aircraft.
