Read MoreHide Full Article
The Boeing Company (BA - Free Report) recently clinched a contract for supporting the foreign military sales requirement in relation to F-15 program for the Qatar Emiri Air Force. Work related to the deal is scheduled to be over by Dec 21, 2021.

Work related to this project will be executed inSt. Louis, MI.
A Brief Note on F-15
Boeing’s F-15 Strike Eagle is a twin-engine, all-weather tactical fighter aircraft. Its proven design is unbeatable in air-to-air combat, with more than 100 aerial combat victories.
What’s Favoring Boeing?
With rising security threats across the globe, developing economies like India, Qatar and a few more along with the developed nations like the United States and Europe are ramping up their arsenal. Being the largest jet maker, Boeing thus enjoys a smooth flow of contracts for military jets and its associated upgrades. The latest contract win is an example ofthe same. Looking ahead, the U.S. fiscal 2020 defense budget allocation includes massive war-fighting investments worth $57.7 billion for military aircraft.
Given Boeing’s strength in combat-proven aircraft and rising global geo-political tension, the jet maker has higher chances of winning military-jet related contracts from the Pentagon like the latest one.

Leidos Holdings delivered average positive earnings surprise of 11.19% in the trailing four quarters. The company has a long-term earnings growth estimate of 9.9%.
