Boeing records over $2.2B profit in 2025, first annual gain since 2018
Boeing has reported its first full-year net profit since 2018, marking a financial turnaround after several years of losses caused by the 737 MAX crisis and the COVID period downturn, reports a Qazinform News Agency correspondent.
According to the company’s financial statement released on January 27, 2026, Boeing posted a net profit of $2.24 billion for 2025, compared with a net loss of $11.83 billion in 2024. Fourth quarter net earnings reached $8.22 billion, reversing a loss of $3.86 billion recorded in the same period a year earlier.
The return to profitability was largely driven by asset sales. A key factor was a $9.6 billion gain from the partial sale of Boeing’s Digital Aviation Solutions business to investment firm Thoma Bravo, which significantly supported fourth quarter results. Quarterly revenue rose to $23.9 billion from $15.2 billion a year earlier, while full year revenue increased by 34% to $89.5 billion.
Operational performance also improved. Boeing delivered 600 commercial aircraft in 2025, its highest annual total since 2018. Deliveries were led by the 737 MAX family, reflecting a more stable production environment. At the end of the year, the company’s total backlog stood at $682 billion, including more than 6,100 commercial aircraft, indicating sustained airline demand.
Operating cash flow turned positive, reaching $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter and about $1.1 billion for the full year. Boeing ended 2025 with $29.4 billion in cash and marketable securities.
Despite the return to profitability, challenges remain. Certification of the 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 variants is still pending, while the 777X program continues to face delays under heightened regulatory oversight.
Earlier, Qazinform News Agency reported that Boeing outpaced its European rival Airbus in 2025, leading annual net jet orders for the first time since 2018.
