Segment Performance
Fuselage Systems: Revenues in the segment declined 70.2% to $327.1 million from $1,096.8 million registered in second-quarter 2019, primarily due to lower production volumes on the Boeing 737 and 787, and Airbus A350 programs.

Wing Systems: Revenues in the segment deteriorated 69.3% to $122.5 million from $398.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The downside was primarily due to lower production volumes on the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 and A350 programs.
Operational Highlights
Total operating costs and expenses declined 43.5% year over year to $1,011.6 million on account of lower cost of sales; decreased selling, general and administrative expenses; and reduced research and development expenses.
The company incurred an operating loss of $367 million in the second quarter of 2020 against operating earnings of $226 million in the prior-year quarter.

VGM Scores
At this time, Spirit Aerosystems has an average Growth Score of C, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a D. However, the stock was allocated a grade of B on the value side, putting it in the second quintile for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
Outlook
Estimates have been broadly trending downward for the stock, and the magnitude of these revisions indicates a downward shift. It's no surprise Spirit Aerosystems has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). We expect a below average return from the stock in the next few months.
