Aerospace

FAA Caps Still Loom, But Boeing’s Q2 Output Gives Investors a Lifeline

Boeing (NYSE: BA) just notched its best delivery performance since late 2023, handing over 60 airplanes in June, including 42 of its flagship 737 Max jets.

The total marks a critical milestone for the aerospace giant as it tries to reestablish momentum after a string of safety crises and FAA-imposed production limits.

The second quarter saw 150 aircraft delivered, Boeing’s strongest Q2 performance since 2018.

While output remains constrained by regulatory oversight, these gains suggest that the manufacturer is slowly regaining its rhythm on the factory floors.

For shareholders with a longer view, this operational rebound could mark the start of Boeing’s credibility reset.

The company is still climbing out of a reputational trough, but every delivery milestone helps rebuild trust and operational reliability.

More than numbers, these updates reflect cultural changes inside Boeing’s engineering and compliance teams.

Those evaluating Boeing for portfolio entry should focus less on near-term order headlines and more on production scalability.

FAA approval to boost Max output above 38 planes per month remains a key lever.

If secured, it could unlock more substantial cash flow and reduce unit costs, which is an inflection point worth watching.

With a backlog approaching 6,000 planes, Boeing isn’t short on demand. The challenge now is execution.

Investors and analysts will be closely watching the company’s July 29 earnings call for signals on production tempo, margin progress, and how closely leadership is aligning operations with long-term recovery targets.

Can Costco Scale Without Slipups? Supplier Recalls Test Its Promise

Costco (NASDAQ: COST) is addressing a wave of product recalls, which have impacted multiple third-party suppliers and raised broader questions about quality assurance protocols across its global vendor network.

In recent weeks, the company has issued recall notices for Bridgestone tires, Midea window air conditioners, and Anker power banks sold through its U.S. warehouses and online platform.

Each case involved supplier-linked failures, ranging from missing certification symbols to mold growth risks and defects in lithium-ion batteries.

The scale and diversity of affected categories reflect the challenge of managing quality across Costco’s vast and growing private-label and distribution ecosystem.

From an investor standpoint, the company’s swift response helps mitigate reputational fallout and reinforces Costco’s brand promise of reliability and customer-first service.

Offering free returns, replacements, and public transparency reduces the risk of consumer backlash, class actions, or prolonged damage to trust.

Those evaluating a potential position in Costco may want to monitor how frequently supplier-related issues surface, especially as the company expands toward its 914-store global target by year-end.

Dependable execution remains a core part of Costco’s long-term shareholder value proposition, and maintaining vendor discipline will be crucial as product volumes grow.

Hidden Asset (Sponsored)

Starting this July, big banks can legally treat gold as cash—and they’re wasting no time.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans are still heavily invested in volatile paper assets.

One economist says gold is now “the only money banks trust.”

There’s still time to catch up, using an IRS-approved method that avoids taxes or penalties.

These Three Tech Stocks Could Crush Earnings, and Wall Street Sees It Coming

Earnings growth remains a key driver of performance, and for 2025, a few tech stocks are starting to stand out from the crowd.

While much of the market’s attention remains glued to headlines and trend-chasing names, institutional investors are circling companies with strong fundamentals and rising profitability.

When Wall Street starts raising targets and building positions, it usually means one thing: the earnings story is real.

Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU)

Micron has flipped the script. After trailing its semiconductor peers for most of last year, the stock has surged 88 percent over the past quarter.

That kind of move typically cools sentiment, but analysts aren’t backing down.

Baird’s Tristan Gerra recently reiterated an Outperform rating and raised the price target to $200, which is a full 60 percent above current levels.

The upgrade reflects expectations for continued earnings growth. Analysts now forecast $2.04 in earnings per share for Q4 2025, up from $1.91 today.

Micron has beaten estimates all year, and Wall Street’s growing confidence shows up both in the numbers and in the volume of institutional inflows.

Lyft (NASDAQ: LYFT)

Lyft’s inclusion on this list may surprise some, but it’s exactly the kind of name institutions buy early.

Vanguard recently increased its stake to $451 million, representing more than 9% ownership. That vote of confidence comes as Wall Street shifts expectations upward.

EPS forecasts for the fourth quarter have jumped to $0.05, a fivefold increase from current levels.

Analysts still have a Hold rating overall, but the trajectory is moving in Lyft’s favor. If execution improves in the back half of the year, sentiment could follow.

Spotify Technology (NYSE: SPOT)

Spotify’s story is more nuanced. Analysts remain split. The average 12-month price target is below current trading levels, but bulls still see room to run, assigning a target of $900.

That would imply 20 percent upside from here. The real driver is EPS expansion.

With its subscription-based model showing strong margin growth, Spotify is expected to continue delivering high double-digit earnings gains.

However, trading near its 52-week high, the company will need to beat expectations, not just meet them, to justify further upside.

Why EPS Is Still the Market’s Favorite Catalyst

Wall Street doesn’t chase headlines. It follows numbers. And when earnings start accelerating, it usually signals more than a short-term pop.

Micron is already reaping the rewards. Lyft is showing early traction. Spotify needs to prove it still has room to grow.

For investors hunting actual growth, EPS remains the cleanest signal in a noisy market.
