Reason
Goldman Sachs keeps a Buy rating and $257 price target on Boeing after the company's monthly aircraft delivery data. New aircraft order backlog remains large compared to supply and November gross orders were strong, building on the year-to-date momentum, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The backlog continues to support strong multi-year growth in deliveries across all aircraft platforms, the firm added.

Reason
BNP Paribas Exane initiated coverage of Boeing with an Underperform rating and $150 price target. The firm believes consensus estimates for Boeing as too high. CEO Kelly Ortberg has made progress turning around the company's operations, but this is largely priced into the stock with consensus forecasting a ramp to new all-time high production rates, the analyst tells investors in a research note. BNP finds it unclear if Boeing's commercial book-to-bill can hold up as traffic slows and tariff -driven deal orders are lapped.
