CEO Kelly Ortberg took over at Boeing knowing that the company was in trouble. Those troubles added up to an $11.8 billion loss last year, the company reported on Tuesday.
The Boeing Company's recent earnings guidance shows quarterly revenue of $15 billion, but a negative $3.5 billion in operating cash flow due to work stoppages. Despite short-term struggles, Boeing's $26 billion in cash and marketable securities positions it well for long-term growth. The company's almost 2-month strike is a significant factor in its current financial losses.

Boeing aims to ramp up production rates for the 737 MAX and 787 programs, with KPIs ensuring a streamlined and organized workflow.
Boeing Co BA reported a loss for the fourth quarter on Tuesday.
Boeing (NYSE: BA) recently reported its Q4 results, with the top and bottom line missing the street estimates. The company reported revenue of $15.2 billion and an adjusted loss of $5.90 per share, compared to the consensus estimates of $16.2 billion in sales and $3.00 loss per share.
The Boeing Company reported a massive Q4 loss, with revenues down over 30% and losses per share significantly worse than expected. Operational issues, including a worker strike, severely impacted Boeing's production and profitability, leading to substantial cash burn and a weakened balance sheet. Despite a positive industry outlook, Boeing's high valuation, ongoing operational problems, and lack of shareholder returns make it an unattractive investment.
Shares of Boeing (BA 2.00%) are moving higher Tuesday. The company's stock gained 4.1% as of 1:20 p.m.
