Is Boeing Stock Going to $204? 1 Wall Street Analyst Thinks So.
Boeing (NYSE: BA) is quietly having a good run. It's up 11.9% over the last six months, outperforming the 2.2% decline in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index in the process.

As previously discussed, there's a healthy bull and bear debate around Boeing stock, and Melius Research has come down on the bullish side, citing confidence in relatively new CEO Kelly Ortberg's turnaround plans.
