Boeing Has Upside, Suppliers to Benefit From Boom

by

With the first delivery and ramp up of Boeing’s (BA) revolutionary 787 Dreamliner, the reintroduction of its 747 platform, and rate increases on its workhorse 737 line, investors should expect a fairly significant ramp up in commercial aircraft deliveries, which remain supported by a massive backlog of unfulfilled orders. Impressively, Boeing’s commercial backlog of 3,400-plus planes is roughly 7x this year’s expected commercial revenue, in dollar terms. Needless to say, parts suppliers like Spirit Aerosystems (SPR), Precision Castparts (PCP), Rockwell Collins (COL), Goodrich (GR), Honeywell (HON), United Technologies (UTX) and a variety of others (including engine-makers like GE) will benefit from the coming boom in aerospace.

Boeing Declares Victory But Farnborough Disappoints

by

Image Source: Boeing By Brian Nelson, CFA Nearly a decade ago, Boeing (BA) and Airbus (EADSY) made some big bets on the future. On one hand, Boeing envisioned a world of increasing point-to-point travel requiring wide-body aircraft with ultra-fuel efficient economics, laying the groundwork for the blueprint of the 787 Dreamliner, a mostly-composite aircraft. Airbus, on the other hand, had a different view of the future. The European plane maker believed that air travel would be dominated by the hub-and-spoke system where massive planes would be needed to transport passengers between global hubs. It decided to build the massive A380 superjumbo. If Boeing had not already declared victory, it can probably do so now. In mid-July, Airbus announced that it … Read more

Stock Market Outlook for 2021

by

By Valuentum Analysts February 8, 2021 2020 was one for the history books. We covered our thoughts and reflections on the past year in our “2020 Won’t Soon Be Forgotten” article (link here), and now we are looking towards the future. Global health authorities should be able to bring an end to the ongoing coronavirus (‘COVID-19’) pandemic sooner than many had expected as several vaccines have already been improved for emergency use and several others appear increasingly likely to get approved. Global vaccine distribution activities are currently underway, and this should allow the world to slowly return to pre-pandemic activities. Before then, immense stimulus measures launched primarily in developed nations should support global economic activities until the public health crisis … Read more

It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” — Winston Churchill By Brian Nelson, CFA Very few of us could have imagined that we’d witness the bull market that began on that fateful day in March 2009 that might very well mark a generational low. In 2009, major investment banks around the globe were struggling to survive, and the fallout in the mortgage markets left the banks holding paper that nobody wanted to own, let alone buy.

Economic Commentary: Bank Earnings, US-China Phase One No Big Deal and More

by

Bloomberg recently reported that U.S. banks’ record-breaking earnings have likely peaked for this cycle. We’ll get the team’s thoughts on this, and we’ll also cover views on the corporate credit cycle, China GDP, and the US election cycle. We don’t think the US-China Phase One deal amounts to much, other than removing the uncertainty that it, itself, created. Let’s kick things off with our views on a recent Bloomberg piece, U.S. Banks’ Record-Breaking Earnings Streak Has Probably Peaked, “which notes that “global interest rates remain stubbornly low and geopolitical tensions (remain) high.” Matt Warren is Valuentum’s Independent Bank and Economic contributor, and we’ll start there. Matthew Warren: The views expressed in the article seem a bit overly bearish assuming the … Read more
