Uncertain Outlook Likely to Keep Weighing on Boeing (BA), Investor Says

The "cloudiness of forecasts" for Boeing (BA) is likely to keep weighing on BA stock going forward, said Dave Mazza, the CEO of Roundhill Investments, on the Schwab Network recently.

Specifically, the uncertainty of the outcome of trade battle between the U.S. and China, along with worries about the economy and doubts about the firm's ability to get its 737 Max out the door, are likely to weigh on the name, Mazza believes.

Why Boeing's Outlook Is Uncertain

As "the largest exporter in the U.S.," Boeing "will be in the crosshairs" of the trade battle and the talks between the U.S. and China, Mazza predicted.

And if a global slowdown or recession materializes, Boeing's ability to recover will look more questionable, the investor asserted.

Finally, if the firm is unable to produce and deliver its 737 Max planes, it will be difficult for BA stock "to have sustained momentum," according to Mazza. That's because the 737 Max is widely seen as the firm's "cash cow," he explained.

Investors Remain Skeptical

BA stock has outperformed the S&P 500 so far this year, but it has underperformed its peers in the industrial and aerospace/defense spaces, Mazza reported. Consequently, he thinks that the Street "remains somewhat skeptical" about BA stock.

While we acknowledge the potential of BA, our conviction lies in the belief that AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. There is an AI stock that went up since the beginning of 2025, while popular AI stocks lost around 25%.
