Outperform

Reason

Bernstein raised the firm's price target on Boeing to $277 from $267 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. Commercial aerospace stocks had an extraordinary year in 2025, and the firm expects 2026 to be another one. For 2026, demand remains very high and should outstrip supply beyond 2030. Bernstein top pick in the U.S. for 2026 is Boeing.
