Heading into today, shares of the airplane builder had gained 4.87% over the past month, outpacing the Aerospace sector's gain of 2.6% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.34% in that time.

BA's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $14.43 per share and revenue of $98.87 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of -9.87% and -2.23%, respectively.
