Alternative ways to invest in Boeing

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Boeing), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Boeing is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is it a good time to buy Boeing stock?

Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.

Use our graph to track the performance of BA stocks over time.

Share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Boeing's shares have ranged in value from as little as $176.25 up to $267.54. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

BA.US volatility(beta: 1.52)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Boeing's is 1.522. This would suggest that Boeing's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Is Boeing under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Boeing P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

Boeing's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 6.5305. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Boeing's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

However, it's sensible to consider Boeing's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

Boeing's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $3.2 billion (£2.5 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of a Boeing's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
