Tesla stock price has suffered a big reversal and moved into a technical correction in the past few days. It has dropped in the last nine consecutive days, reaching a low of $438, its lowest level since December 3. So, will the TSLA stock price continue falling or bounce back this year?

Tesla faces a double whammy of slowing sales and high valuation

Tesla share price has retreated in the past few weeks as the company faces a double whammy of slowing sales and high valuation metrics. A report released last week showed that it delivered 418,227 vehicles in the fourth quarter, lower than the consensus estimate of 423k

The company’s deliveries were primarily because of its Model 3 and Y vehicles, with the other models having over 11,642 sales. Most notably, the company’s deliveries dropped by 16% from the same period in 2024. 

Wall Street analysts believe that the company will deliver 1.75 million vehicles this year. It will then deliver 2.01 million in 2027, and 3 million in 2029. As in the past, there is a likelihood that the company’s deliveries will miss estimates. 

At the same time, the company’s valuation has continued expanding in the past few months. Data shows that it is the second most valued company in the Nasdaq 100 Index after Warner Bros. Discovery. It has a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 340. Its forward P/E ratio on a non-GAAP basis is 267.

In contrast, other EV companies that are seeing stronger revenue growth have a much smaller P/E multiple. This includes companies like General Motors and Ford. 

The company also has a forward PEG ratio of 8.24, also higher than the sector median of 1.78. Also, the forward EV/EBITDA ratio stands at 315, also higher than the sector median of 16. 

There is no way of justifying this valuation difference between Tesla and other companies. Besides, this is a company that has faced several crises, including the falling sales of the CyberTruck and the Tesla Semi. Also, it is yet to deliver the Tesla Roadster it promised back in 2019.

Betting on AI and robotics

The main reason why the Tesla stock price has remained at an elevated level is because of its robotics and AI ventures. It is working on its robotaxis, a business it expects will be its biggest business over time.

However, the challenge is that the autonomous industry is still in its infancy, and analysts expect that Waymo will be a big competitor.

Tesla is also hoping to become a major player in the AI industry. Again, like its robotics business, analysts believe that its AI business is years or decades away from generating sales and profits. In a recent note, an analyst said:

“The market clearly looks at it as something more than a car company. However, it is at the end of the day, a car company. It would be interestingly easier for me to value if the company was a pure play AI company.”

Tesla stock price technical analysis

The daily chart shows that the TSLA stock price has pulled back from a high of $500 in December to the current $438. On the positive side, the stock is in the process of forming an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, a common bullish reversal sign. 

It has already completed the formation of the left shoulder and the head. Also, the stock has moved to the right shoulders. Therefore, the stock will likely rebound, potentially to the resistance at $500. In the long term, however, the stock will likely resume the downtrend as the valuation concerns remain.

Rolls-Royce share price started the year well, rising by over 4% on Friday and moving to a record high of 1,197p. It has now soared by 17.45% from its lowest level in November last year and by 115% from its April lows. This article provides a forecast for the stock this year and what to expect.

Rolls-Royce share price surges amid strong fundamentals 

The RR stock price has jumped as its fundamentals improve across the board. Its defence business is set to benefit from the new geopolitical events after Donald Trump’s capture of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro during the weekend.

The attack could lead to more defense spending as investors anticipate more geopolitical issues in Europe, North America, and the Asian region. For example, China could be emboldened to invade Taiwan, while Russia may consider more regional attacks. There is also fear that Trump may attack Greenland and Cuba soon.

Rolls-Royce Holdings is one of the biggest players in the defense industry in Europe, where it makes propulsion systems, aircraft engines, submarines, and other land equipment.

The company will also benefit from the ongoing demand for power equipment amid the artificial intelligence (AI) boom in the United States and other countries. Indeed, the company is now building power solutions that will come online, possibly in 2027 or 2028. The products will help companies in the data center industry ensure continuity in case of power outages.

Most importantly, Rolls-Royce’s civil aviation industry is doing well as demand for its engines and flying hours jumps. Companies like Airbus and Boeing are expected to deliver more jets this year, which will benefit the company since it is a major engine supplier.

Meanwhile, Rolls-Royce has become a big player in the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) industry, which is expected to keep growing as countries and companies invest in nuclear power. Some American SMR companies with little experience in the nuclear industry, like NuScale and Oklo have already received a multi-high valuation as their R&D continues.

Analysts are bullish on Rolls-Royce 

Some analysts tracking the company are bullish on it and are expecting it to keep rising, helped by its strong fundamentals. JPMorgan analysts believe that the stock has more upside to 1,245p, up by 17% from the current level. 

Analysts note that Rolls-Royce has become a momentum company with a combination of strong fundamentals, including strong revenue growth and profit margin expansion.

The most recent results showed that the company’s business is on track to hit the management’s targets, and odds are that it will surpass them. 

In a statement, the CEO, Tufan Erginbilgic, said that the company will make between £3.1 billion and £3.2 billion in operating profit and between £3.0 billion and £3.1 billion in free cash flow. These numbers will be much better than what it made in 2024, when its revenue rose to £17.8 billion, and its operating profit moved to £2.4 billion.

Rolls-Royce stock price technical analysis 

The daily timeframe chart shows that the Rolls-Royce stock price has rebounded in the past few weeks, moving from a low of 1,019p on November 25 to the current 1,197p. 

It has jumped above the key resistance level at 1,192p, the highest point on September 29, and the neckline of the inverted head-and-shoulders pattern. 

The stock remains slightly above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD indicators have continued rising.

It also remains above the Supertrend indicator, a sign that bulls remain in control for now. Therefore, the stock will likely continue rising as bulls target the next important resistance level at 1,200p.

US natural gas price dropped to its lowest level since late October 2025 as weather remains the market’s key driver. Forecasts of warmer-than-normal temperatures have dampened the demand outlook during the current winter season. Investors are keen on the weather forecasts and weekly storage data.  

Weather-driven volatility set to continue in the short term

Weather is usually a major influential factor in the natural gas supply/demand dynamics. Indeed, optimism over a surge in warming demand during the Northern Hemisphere’s winter season is what bolstered the US natural gas prices to a three-year high at $5.50 per MMBtu in early December 2025. 

However, that optimism has since dwindled due to the expected warmer-than-normal temperatures in most parts of the country. According to Fox Weather, lower 48 will likely be warmer and wetter in January than it has been so far in the current winter season. Besides, the La Niña setup that brought on the winter is expected to pause in January. 

In addition to the weather forecasts, investors will also be keen on the upcoming storage data. In its latest inventory report, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) noted that the total amount in storage is still within the 5-year average. However, as of 26th December, the inventory is 38 Bcf less than the amount recorded in the previous week. In the next storage report, signs of increased stockpiles may further dampen the demand outlook.  

Meanwhile, the US is set to ramp up natural gas production in 2026 as the new plants bolster its capacity. In the past year, LNG shipments from the US accounted for about a quarter of the global exports. Indeed, it became the first country to export over 100 million metric tonnes of LNG in a year. Besides, it recorded five monthly record highs in natural gas production. Even with the weather-caused volatility in prices, LNG exports are set to offer some support. 

US natural gas price technical analysis

Henry Hub natural gas futures began the new week in the red, extending previous losses to trade at a level last recorded in late October 2025. At the time of writing, it was trading at $3.48 per MMBtu after rebounding slightly from its intraday low of $3.40. Over a span of one week, it has dropped more than 15%; declining past the previously steady support zone of $4.00.

A look at its daily chart points to further selling pressure in the ensuing sessions. The US natural gas price has held below the short-term 25-day EMA and the medium-term 50-day MA. Besides, it is close to the oversold territory with an RSI of 34 and the indicator facing downwards. 

In the short term, the range between Monday’s intraday low at $3.40 and the previous support level of $3.64 will be worth watching. Beyond that tight range, I still expect the US natural gas price to trade within the wider range of between $3.17 and $3.75.

The Hang Seng Index continued its uptrend on Tuesday as it jumped to H$26,822, its highest point since November 13. It has jumped by 6.90% from its lowest point in December and is hovering near last year’s high of $27,392.

Why the Hang Seng Index is soaring 

The Hang Seng Index continued its strong rally this year, mirroring the performance of other global indices like China’s CSI 300, Japan’s Nikkei 225, and the US’s Dow Jones.

Its rally was mostly because of the strength of the Chinese economy, which authorities hinted that it hit the target of 5% in 2025 despite the trade issues brought about by the Trump administration.

One sign of the global economic growth is the ongoing performance of copper, a metal seen as a barometer for the global economy. Copper jumped to $13,000 a ton for the first year.

The index has also jumped as investors anticipate more stimulus from Beijing this year. Analysts expect that the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) will cut interest rates, while Beijing will implement some key stimulus measures during the year.

Most importantly, there is optimism that the artificial intelligence (AI) boom will accelerate this year. AI companies have led the recent rally in China and the United States.

Kuaishou Technology has been the best-performing stock in the Hang Seng Index this year so far as it jumped by 17%. It has jumped by over 85% in the last 12 months.

China Life Insurance stock has jumped by 13%, while Longfor Group, Baidu, JD Health, Ping An Insurance, and China Resources Land. Baidu stock jumped after the company announced plans to spin off and launch an IPO for its AI semiconductor business.

Just a handful of companies have retreated this year. PetroChina stock has slipped by 2% this year, while China Merchants Bank, Link Real Estate, Hengan International, and Geely Automobile have all dropped by over 1%.

Hang Seng Index technical analysis 

The daily timeframe chart shows that the Hang Seng Index has rebounded in the past few days, moving from a low of $23,148 to the current $H26,815. It formed a triple-bottom, which is made up of three swings and a neckline at $H27,181.

The index has remained above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) and the Major S&R pivot point of the Murrey Math Lines. It has jumped above the Supertrend indicator, while the Relative Strength Index and the Stochastic Oscillator have continued rising this year.

On the flip side, a move below the crucial support level at H$26,000 will invalidate the bullish outlook and point to more downside over time.

Duolingo stock price jumped by 5% on Monday as American equities bounced back and as investors reacted to a bullish research note by Bank of America analysts. DUOL jumped to $185, a few points above this year’s low of $174. Still, it remains 66% below its all-time high after having a disastrous year in 2025.

Wall Street analysts are bullish on the Duolingo stock

Duolingo share price crashed last year, a move that erased billions of dollar in value as its market capitalization tumbled from over $24 billion to the current $8.54 billion. 

Some Wall Street analysts believe that the company has now become a bargain and that it will rebound this year. The most recent note came from Bank of America, which booted the rating from neutral to buy.

In the note, the analyst argued that the company had more room to grow, especially if it was viewed a mobile gaming company. Also, the analyst noted that the company was adding more subject ike chess, math, and music, which will broaden its apeal among users. 

Most importantly, Bank of America analysts believe that the company has a large total addressable market (TAM). It based this view on the fact that over 1 billion people from around the world were considering learning additional languages over time.

BoFA joins other analysts who believe that the company has more upside going forward. Data compiled by Barchart shows that the consensus estimate for the Duolingo stock price is $314, much higher than th e current $184.

Jefferies’ John Colantuoni has a target of $220, while Evercore’s Mark Mahaney has a target of $330. Other bullish analysts are from Scotiabank, Morgan Stanley, Raymond James, and Citi.

Duolingo’s business is growing at a lower pace than expected

The ongoing Duolingo stock crash accelerated after the company published its financial results that were weaker than expected. Its numbers showed that it had over 11.5 million paid subscribers, up by 34% from the same period in the previous year.

Duolingo’s revenue rose by 41% to $271 million, while its net income was up by over 100% to $292 million. This profit growth was primarily because the company released the valuation allowance recorded against its federal and state deferred tax assets.

While Duolingo’s numbers were strong, they missed analysts’ estimates. Its guidance was also weaker than expected. Yahoo Finance data shows that the company’s growth will slow. The average estimate is that its annual revenue growth for last year was 37% to $1.03 billion. This growth will then slow to 22.42% to $1.26 billion. 

DUOL stock technical analysis 

The daily chart shows that the Duolingo stock price has been in a free fall in the past few months. It has crashed from a high of $544 to the current $185, which explains why it has remained below all moving averages.

On the positive side, the stock has formed an island reversal pattern, which is a rare reversal pattern. This pattern happens after a stock makes a big gap, which is then followed by a consolidation. 

The stock has also formed a double-bottom pattern at $174.10 and a neckline at $213. Therefore, there is a likelihood that it will rebound, and possibly hit the neckline. A move above that level will raise the odds of the stock jumping to $250.

Tesco share price has remained in a narrow range in the past few months despite the company’s growing market share and profitability growth. It was trading at 442.2 on Monday, inside a narrow range it has remained at since December. This article explores whether it is a good investment today.

Tesco’s business is thriving

Tesco, the biggest retailer in the United Kingdom, is doing well, helped by its strong geographical presence across the country and its cheaper prices. 

The company has also benefited from the management’s focus on cost management, investment in e-commerce, and price matching. All these factors have helped it continue gaining market share across other companies, including Aldi. 

It also benefited from its premium and store brands, with Tesco Finest experiencing double-digit growth for three years. Tesco’s Clubcard loyalty program is driving sales with over 24 million households participating.

Additionally, the management has simplified its business by exiting its non-core businesses. The most notable one was selling its banking operations to Barclays.

Recent results showed that the company’s like-for-like sales rose by 4.3%3 in the first half, with growth happening across the UK, Republic of Ireland (ROI), and Booker. 

Its revenue rose to £33 billion, up by 5.1% from the same period last year, with its adjusted operating profit rising modestly to £1.67 billion. Tesco’s free cash flow rose to £1.2 billion.

These results were much better than what the management was expecting, as consumers reacted positively to its initiatives. As a result, the management lifted its forward guidance for the fiscal year.

Tesco expects to make an adjusted profit of £3.1 billion, up by £100 million from the previous guidance of £3.1 billion. It also expects to save £500 million this year to offset higher operating costs. 

Therefore, Tesco share price has remained on edge as investors assess its performance and the impact of competition. There are concerns that its profitability will be impacted over time. 

On the positive side, there are signs that the company is relatively undervalued. It currently trades at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 17, which is much lower than other top retailers like Walmart and Sainsbury, its top competitor. It is also lower than the FTSE 100 average of 19.

Tesco share price technical analysis 

The daily timeframe chart shows that the TSCO stock price has pulled back from the 2025 high of 481p to the current 442p. This retreat was in line with our forecast.

It has remained above the ascending trendline that links the lowest swings since August 8 last year.

The stock has also remained above the 100-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which is a bullish sign. It is also slightly above the Major S/R pivot point of the Murrey Math Lines tool. These technicals point to an eventual recovery, potentially to the ultimate resistance at 468p. 

However, the risk is that the stock has formed a head-and-shoulders-like pattern and moved below the Supertrend indicator. Therefore, a bearish breakout, potentially to the strong, pivot, reverse level at 421p is possible. This view will be confirmed if it moves below the 100-day moving average and the ascending trendline.

Lloyds share price continued its strong bull run on Friday, reaching the important milestone of 100p for the first time since September 2008. It has risen in the last seven consecutive months, the longest streak since 2012, and is up by 90% in the previous 12 months. So, will the rally accelerate in 2026?

Lloyds Bank’s business has done well

Lloyds Bank stock has been in a strong bull run in the past few years, rising from a low of 25.50p in 2021 to the psychological point at 100p. This surge has pushed its market capitalization to over $80 billion, making it one of the top banking groups in Europe.

The stock’s surge has coincided with the performance of other European banks like Santander, Société Générale, Deutsche Bank, and Commerzbank.

Its performance was also notable as it happened at a time when the UK economy is facing major challenges. Inflation has jumped, economic growth has slowed, and most recently, Rachel Reeves announced a series of tax hikes.

One major reason behind the Lloyds share price surge is that the company is about to conclude the motor insurance claims issue. It added £800 million in provisions tied to this remediation in the third quarter, bringing the total amount to £1.95 billion. 

Another reason is that the Bank of England (BoE) has maintained rates at a higher level in the last few years. It slashed rates by 25 basis points in December to 3.75%, the third cut of the year. 

Still, despite the cut, the yield of UK government bonds has held steady, with the 10-year remaining at 4.50% and the five-year remaining at 4%. Also, the management has entered into structural hedge programs intended to absorb low interest rates in the country.

Resilient revenue and profitability growth

The third-quarter results released last year showed that the company’s business continued doing well, barring the motor insurance charge. It recorded a statutory profit after tax of £3.3 billion in the third quarter, with its net income rising by 6%. 

High interest rates and the performance of the other segment contributed to the performance. Its net interest income rose to £3.45 billion in the third quarter from £3.2 billion in the same period last year. 

Also, the other income division made over £1.55 billion, up from 1.43 billion in Q3’24. This business includes its fee-generation segment and its real estate ventures. 

Lloyds has slowly become one of the biggest landlords in the UK, with a £2 billion rental property portfolio with over 7,000 properties. It hopes to continue adding to this portfolio with the goal of getting to 43,000 properties by 2030.

Analysts tracking the company have a mixed outlook. For example, JPMorgan has set a target price of 102p, a few points above the current level. Jefferies and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) are more optimistic and are expecting it to jump to 105p and 110p, respectively. 

However, Citigroup and Shore Capital have set a target of 97p and 84p, respectively. These analysts cited the impact of interest rate cuts, elevated valuations, and potentially lower shareholder returns.

Lloyds share price technical analysis

The daily chart shows that the LLOY stock price has been in a strong bull run for months. It has jumped to a high of 100p, moving to the upper side of the ascending channel. 

The shares have remained above the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Stochastic Oscillator have continued rising.

Therefore, the most likely outlook is neutral. A move above the upper side of the channel will point to a continuation to more gains, potentially to the resistance at 110p and above.

IAG share price started the year well, rising to a key resistance level at 430p, its highest level since January 2020, and a few points below its all-time high of 438p. It has been in a strong bull run, rising by 380% from its lowest point in 2022.

IAG’s business has had major tailwinds

IAG, a leading airline company that owns popular brands like British Airways, Aer Lingus, LEVEL, and Iberia, has been in a strong bull run since the pandemic ended a few years ago. 

The surge has mirrored the performance of other global airline companies like Ryanair, Delta, and United. This trend continued last year as global trade maintained its resilience despite the volatile trade policy environment. 

READ MORE: Here’s why the Ryanair share price surged in 2025

IATA believes that the recovery will accelerate this year. It expects that passenger traffic will grow by 4.9% this year, led by the Asia Pacific region. Also, it expects that load factor will rise to 83.8%, while ancillary revenue will continue expanding. 

As a result, IATA expects that airline net profit will jump to $41 billion, while the net margin will be 3.9%. This growth will happen despite the softening fares and high cost pressures.

IAG, as one of the top global airline companies, is set to benefit from this growth. Its main advantage is in the diversification of its business, with a strong performance on the TransAtlantic route and in other areas like Asia. 

The most recent metrics showed that IAG’s revenue and profitability rose in the first nine months of the year. Its revenue rose by 4.9% to €25.2 billion, while its profit after tax rose by 15.5% to €2.7 billion. However, its revenue was flat at €9.32 billion, while its profit after tax fell by 2.3% to €1.4 billion. 

IAG has continued to return cash to its shareholders, completing over €1 billion in share buybacks. It plans to announce another share repurchase program in February and has continued to pay its dividends.

The company is also trading at a discount, with its normalized price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio at 7.08, lower than Ryanair’s 13 and EasyJet’s 7.50. Delta has a multiple of 11, while United Airlines has a multiple of 10.5.

IAG share price technical analysis 

The weekly chart shows that the IAG stock has been in a strong bull run, rising from a low of 88.76p in 2022 to a high of 430. It has moved above the important support level at 360p, its highest point in February last year. 

The stock has jumped above the 50-week and 100-week Exponential Moving Averages (EMA). At the same time, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has continued rising and is nearing the overbought level at 70. It has formed a cup-and-handle pattern.

Therefore, the stock will likely continue rising as bulls target the psychological point at 450p. A move above that level will point to more gains, potentially to 500p. A drop below the support at 360p will invalidate the bullish outlook.

The crypto market started the year well, with Bitcoin and most altcoins holding steady. Bitcoin remains above $91,000, while the market capitalization of all tokens rose to over $3.11 trillion. This article highlights some of the top cryptocurrencies to watch this week, including Ethena (ENA), Jito (JTO), Pump (PUMP), and Pi Network (PI).

Ethena to unlock millions of tokens

Ethena, a cryptocurrency valued at over $1.8 billion, will be one of the top coins to watch this week. It will unlock 171 million tokens, currently valued at over $41 million on Sunday. This unlock comes as the unlock progress stands at 51.9%.

Ethena token has rebounded in the past few days, moving from a low of $0.1935 in December to the current $0.2400. It still remains about 72% below the highest point in 2025, a decline that mirrors that of other cryptocurrencies. 

ENA has seen intense buying by Arthur Hayes, the founder of BitMex, who has accumulated tokens worth over $3.8 million even as the total value locked has slumped to $6.4 billion from last year’s high of $14.3 billion.

Jito token in focus ahead of a big token unlock

Jito, a major player in the Solana ecosystem, is another top crypto to watch this week as it unlocks 11.3 million tokens worth over $5.39 million, which is equivalent with 1.14% of its market cap.

Like Ethena, Jito has a long way to go in terms of its token unlocks as it has unlocked just 37.28% of its tokens. Jito’s TVL, which is made up of staked Solana tokens, has dropped from last year’s high of $3.37 billion to the current $1.9 billion. 

Other cryptocurrencies with large unlocks this week are Movement (MOVE), Rain (RAIN), Linea (LINEA), Pump, and Gods Unchained. 

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum price has rebounded in the past few days, moving to a high of $3,150, its highest level since December 12. It has jumped by 20% from its lowest level in November last year. 

The token will be in the spotlight this week as investors watch the ongoing trends in the ETF market. Spot Ethereum ETFs added over $160 million in inflows last week, a big improvement from the previous week’s outflows of $102 million. They had shed over $643 million in assets a week earlier.

Spot Ethereum ETFs now hold over $19 billion in assets, which are equivalent to 5% of its market capitalization. 

Ethereum price will also be in focus as BitMine continues to invest and stake it. The company has now accumulated tokens worth over $12 billion and has started staking them. It will also announce its financial results on Friday.

Pi Network (PI)

Pi Network token has held steady in the past few days. It has remained at the key support at $0.200, its highest level since December 20th.

The main reason it will be in the spotlight is that, as the chart above shows, it has moved slightly above the upper side of the falling wedge pattern. As such, there is a likelihood that this could lead to more upside in the near term.

Pi Network will unlock over 36 million tokens worth over $7. 2 million as part of its daily tokens. Also, traders will likely watch the developments on the ongoing DEX and AMM testnet.

Boeing’s stock price bounced back in December, soaring from November’s low of $176 to the current $217.

It has jumped by ~68% from its lowest level in April, and JPMorgan analysts anticipate the trajectory to continue this year if the company remains out of trouble.

Boeing stock has potential catalysts in 2026

Boeing shares performed well in 2025, mirroring the performance of the broader stock market.

Its gains also happened as its planes continued to perform well, a sign that it had moved out of trouble after the woes it experienced in the previous years.

The company continued to narrow the backlog gap with Airbus, which faced more challenges. Its backlog stood at 5,900 planes worth over $535 billion.

Most of these orders came from Qatar, Emirates, and Turkish Airlines, with their 787 Dreamliners, 777, and 737 seeing traction. FlyDubai recently made an order of 75 737 planes.

Boeing also received the approval to increase production of its 737 planes, a process that will continue this year.

Therefore, the most recent results showed that its business continued thriving, a process that will continue in the near term. 

Boeing’s revenue rose to $23.333 billion in the third quarter, a big increase from the $17.8 billion it made in the same period last year.

It also improved its operating margin from minus 32.33% to minus 20.5%, and its loss per share to $7.47 from the previous $40.4.

Most importantly, the company turned a profit in terms of its free cash flow, which jumped to $200 million.

The only blemish in its results was the 777x program, which has been delayed for years. On the positive side, the company expects that the plane will enter service this year, which will help to boost its numbers.

Boeing’s growth to continue this year

Wall Street analysts believe that the company will continue doing well this year.

The average estimate is that its fourth-quarter revenue will be $22.4 billion, up by 47% from the same period in 2024. This revenue will bring its annual figure to $87 billion, up by 32% from a year earlier. 

The company is then expected to make $96 billion this year, a figure that will likely be better than expected.

A potential catalyst is that Donald Trump will visit China in April, a move that may result in a big order from the country’s airlines. These orders will be notable as Chinese airlines have avoided Boeing for years.

Boeing will also turn a profit this year.

Analysts see the loss per share moving from $20.38 in 2025 to a profit of $2.34. Chances are that the company will do better than these expectations. 

Wall Street analysts are optimistic that Boeing’s stock will rise this year. For example, Deutsche Bank sees it rising to $245, while JPMorgan sees it hitting $240.

Other companies with an overweight rating are RBC Capital and Barclays.

BA stock chart | Source: TradingView

The daily chart shows that the BA share price has done well in the past few months. It has rebounded from a low of $176 in November to the current $217.

The stock is trading at the 23.6% Fibonacci Retracement level. Also, the 50-day and 100-day moving averages are about to cross each other. 

There are also early signs that it has formed an inverted head-and-shoulders pattern.
