Over the five-year period, Boeing’s revenue trended upward from USD 58,158 million in 2020 to a peak of USD 77,794 million in 2023 before falling back to USD 66,517 million in 2024. The company’s gross profit performance shows considerable volatility. In 2020, Boeing reported a negative gross profit of USD –5,685 million; however, it rebounded into positive territory in 2021 with USD 3,017 million and maintained modest improvements through 2022 (USD 3,502 million) and a substantial jump to USD 7,724 million in 2023. A significant reversal occurred in 2024, dropping to a negative USD –1,991 million. Such swings indicate a challenging cost structure, with particularly steep changes in 2020 and again a notable swing from 2023 to 2024 of more than 20 percentage points, suggesting that operating efficiency and cost management have been inconsistent over the period. Similarly, operating income and net income mirror these fluctuations. Operating losses narrowed considerably from –USD 12,767 million in 2020 to –USD 773 million in 2023, indicating an operational turnaround, only to widen sharply back to –USD 10,707 million in 2024. Net income improved from –USD 11,873 million in 2020 to –USD 2,222 million in 2023 but then reverted to a loss of –USD 11,817 million in 2024. These metrics suggest that while Boeing made strides in improving its operational profitability in 2023, the significant setbacks seen in 2024 raise concerns about the sustainability of its performance. Overall, despite temporary improvements, the recurring pattern of losses and abrupt reversals highlights underlying operational challenges that may reflect broader industry issues such as fluctuating demand, supply chain disruptions, or escalating production costs in the aerospace sector.
