Is Boeing's Growth Still Shackled by Continued Problems in Its 737 Program?
The Boeing Company BA has successfully weathered much of the turbulence in its commercial aerospace segment since the pandemic, steadily charting a path toward recovery in recent quarters. However, its 737 MAX program remains under intense scrutiny as we progress in 2025, with the aerospace giant still grappling with lingering challenges that have constrained its growth trajectory. Following the January 2024 door-plug detachment incident involving Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, the Federal Aviation Administration ('FAA') imposed a cap of 38 737 jets per month. Boeing only reached this rate for the first time in May 2025. While CEO Kelly Ortberg has expressed confidence (as per major media reports) in raising production to 42 jets per month and eventually 47 by year-end, these targets appear too optimistic amid ongoing industry headwinds like labor shortages and parts supply constraints. Notably, Spirit AeroSystems SPR, Boeing's primary supplier of 737 fuselages, continues to face financial strain, operational inefficiencies and quality control issues, all of which had previously affected Boeing's output and could once again delay production. And even if we assume that these industry challenges do not worsen any further, the FAA's increased oversight and stringent inspection regime add another layer of complexity. Whether Boeing will secure regulatory clearance in time to ramp up production thus remains uncertain. While it is encouraging that Boeing delivered more 737s in first-quarter 2025 — boosting its commercial unit's revenue by 56.7% — questions remain about the sustainability of this growth under the shadow of regulatory, labor and supplier-related risks. The supply-chain constraints hampering the aerospace industry have affected almost all the industry players, with Boeing's arch-rival, Airbus Group EADSY, being no exception. This European plane maker had to slash its production target for 2024, citing supply-chain issues as the prime reason behind it. However, recently Airbus appears to be managing supply-chain disruptions more effectively than Boeing, as reflected in its higher aircraft deliveries in first-quarter 2025. Notably, Airbus delivered 136 commercial aircraft in the first quarter compared with Boeing's 130. Shares of Boeing have risen 20.6% year to date compared with the Zacks aerospace-defense industry's growth of 25.5%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, BA is currently trading at a forward 12-month sales multiple of 1.80X, a roughly 17.4% discount when stacked up with the industry average of 2.18X. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Zacks Consensus Estimate for BA's 2025 and 2026 sales implies a year-over-year uptick of 25.6% and 16.2%, respectively. The EPS estimates for 2025 and 2026 have been trending higher over the past 60 days. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research BA stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Rolls-Royce named winning bidder for UK small nuclear reactors
Rolls-Royce has won a competition to be the first company to try to build small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) in the UK, as part of a government effort to push Britain to the frontier of nuclear energy technology. Great British Energy – Nuclear said on Tuesday that Rolls-Royce SMR was the preferred bidder for the programme, after a drawn-out competition that pitted the FTSE 100 manufacturer against two US-owned companies. The state-owned power company's announcement came as part of a broader push for nuclear power by the government, as it promised to invest £14.2bn to build the large Sizewell C power station in Suffolk. Related: Sizewell C power station to be built as part of UK's £14bn nuclear investment The nuclear investments will form a key part of the spending review due to be announced by the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, on Wednesday as the government tries to shift attention from a U-turn on winter fuel payments for pensioners. Sizewell C will produce 3.2 gigawatts (GW) of power, enough for about 6m homes. By contrast, Rolls-Royce's SMRs will provide about 470 megawatts each. A separate government release said SMRs would collectively generate up to 1.5GW of electricity, suggesting that Rolls-Royce will be granted permission to build at least three SMRs. The crucial difference between large plants such as Sizewell C and the mini nuclear sites is that SMRs will mostly be built to a single design on a factory line, rather than individually on-site. Those factory-built 'modules' will then be fitted together at the site, in an effort to make the construction of nuclear plants cheaper, less complex and less prone to the hugely costly delays that have plagued the Hinkley Point C plant. The SMR approach is unproven, with no sites yet fully operational anywhere in the world. They are also likely to face local and national opposition. The Green party on Tuesday said that nuclear power was slow and expensive. However, Rolls-Royce has argued that the pressurised water reactor technology it has chosen is well understood, and will allow it to start generating power by 2032 at the earliest. Datacentres for tech companies are a key target customer. Ed Miliband, the energy secretary, said: 'We are ending the no-nuclear status quo as part of our plan for change and are entering a golden age of nuclear with the biggest building programme in a generation.' The government did not reveal the locations of the first UK SMRs, which some in the industry had hoped for to speed the process along. They are likely to be sited beside retired nuclear power stations such as Oldbury in Gloucestershire and Wylfa in north Wales. Derby-based Rolls-Royce beat competition from the US companies Holtec and GE Hitachi, while the Canadian-owned Westinghouse dropped out of the competition earlier. Rolls-Royce SMR was always considered by far the favourite. The company is majority-owned by Rolls-Royce, with other investors including Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, BNF Resources controlled by France's Perrodo family, whose wealth stems from fossil fuels, the US energy company Constellation, and the Czech utility CEZ. The decision will nevertheless represent a further boost for Rolls-Royce, which saw its share price hit a record high this month, making it Britain's biggest manufacturer by market value. Rolls-Royce's share price rose 2.4% on Tuesday to hit a new record high of £9.12. The company has benefited from the recovery in demand for its jet engines, the increase in defence spending prompted by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as well as efforts to renegotiate contracts by the chief executive, Tufan Erginbilgiç. Erginbilgiç said: 'This is a very significant milestone for our business and Rolls-Royce SMR. It is a vote of confidence in our unique nuclear capabilities, which will be recognised by governments around the world.' The decision to try to build SMRs has been subject to years of delay. Rolls-Royce first submitted a design proposal in 2015 in the hope of building the first reactor in 2025. That target date kept slipping back as Rolls-Royce awaited approval under Conservative and now Labour governments. The government said the move would create 3,000 jobs at the peak of construction, grow regional economies and strengthen energy security. It will aim for 70% of the parts to be based in the UK, although the delay has already meant Rolls-Royce has chosen a non-UK supplier for crucial pressure vessels. While the UK is due to get the first reactor, Rolls-Royce has already agreed to produce an SMR in the Czech Republic, and it is in the final two in a competition in Sweden.
