• Is This High Flyer Back on Track?

  By Marshall Hargrave - April 26, 2013 | Tickers: ERJ, NOC, BA

  Boeing (NYSE: BA) got a couple votes of confidence of late, including the approval by U.S. regulators and the Federal Aviation Administration of the "high level system description" of its 787's electrical system, which in effect certifies the safety of its advanced lithium-ion batteries used in the 787 Dreamliner jets.

   

  The other big news is that despite the grounding of its Dreamliner, Boeing posted impressive results for 1Q more »

• Boeing's Back With a Future

  By Nate Wooley - April 19, 2013 | Tickers: ERJ, LMT, BA

  It's really unfair to say that Boeing (NYSE: BA) is back, when it never really left.

  It's true that Boeing has had some problems recently. The flap with the batteries in the 787 Dreamliner was the sort of news that public relation's disasters are made from: high profile, good imagery for the networks, and an issue (air safety) that always grabs the public's attention.

• More Aerospace Stocks With Upside

  By Damon Churchwell - March 4, 2013 | Tickers: ERJ, HXL, TGI

  The changing air transportation landscape is making this an exciting time to consider jumping aboard companies that build aircraft or components. Specifically, replacements and upgrades of equipment are under way at several domestic airlines, including those having recently merged or are planning to merge. For instance, American and US Airways have inked a merger agreement, and the likes of Southwest/Airtran, UAL/Continental, and Delta/Northwest have combined during the more »

• Is This Stock Set to Fly Higher?

  By Lee Samaha - February 5, 2013 | Tickers: BEAV, ERJ, BA

  Commercial aerospace company BE Aerospace (NASDAQ: BEAV) delivered a pretty strong set of results recently. It raised guidance and served notice that its backlog of orders plus exposure to wide bodied aircraft deliveries is creating good growth opportunities in 2013. In summary, I like the stock and the trends within aerospace that it is exposed to. However, I consider it to be fairly valued and investors may want to wait more »

• Just Stop It: Boeing Will Be Fine

  By Nate Wooley - January 15, 2013 | Tickers: ERJ, LMT, BA

  It's with great interest that I've watched the media sharks circle aircraft maker Boeing (NYSE: BA) over the last week. A series of problems, some smaller, some larger, have popped up with the company's 787 Dreamliner aircraft. But that doesn't mean the firm is expected to go away anytime soon. In fact, I think it means opportunity.

  Yes, the firm's stock has had a rough more »

• Capitalism 2.0 - Coming to a Country Near You OR How to Invest in Freedom.

  By Dave Harvilicz - December 24, 2012 | Tickers: AAPL, CG, ERJ, NOC, PBR, RY, BX

   

  Gallup released a poll earlier this month about how positive people are about life in 148 countries. Most commentators focus on the domination in the top 10 by relatively poor Latin American countries like El Salvador and Equador. They make excuses for why the "winning" Western powers don't top the list, most making vague references to "a happy culture" in a thinly-veiled racist reduction to the old ignorance-is-bliss argument more »

• Cheap Stock With Ample Growth Drivers

  By Ankit Agrawal - September 16, 2012 | Tickers: ERJ, GD, LMT, NOC, RTN

  The stock prices of Embraer SA (NYSE: ERJ) saw a huge downfall after the company reported its Q1 results. Despite posting strong 2Q operating results, with gross margin and EBIT margin both coming in better than expected on in-line sales, the shares have failed to recover. However, I like company’s positioning in the business jet market and the Brazilian security in its defense segment. I believe Embraer's commentary more »

• Billionaire Steven Mandel Bought This Stock Recently

  By Meena Krishnamsetty - August 31, 2012 | Tickers: BEAV, CW, ERJ, HEI, TGI

BE Aerospace is a $4 billion market cap company which manufactures products for jet interiors- seat frames, oxygen storage and delivery systems, and even lavatory systems.

• Embraer Regains Altitude With Boeing Alliance

  By Tony Daltorio - June 29, 2012 | Tickers: AAMRQ.PK, ERJ, LMT, BA

  The sigh of relief from Embraer SA ADR (NYSE: ERJ) management was audible all the way from Brazil. Finally, the company had some good news coming from the United States instead of the recent strings of disappointments. In a major announcement, Embraer said that it has entered a cooperation agreement with Boeing (NYSE: BA) in developing a new midsize military transport and refueling aircraft, the KC-390.  

  This deal is all more »

• Embraer Will Rally

  By Mary Posey - May 22, 2012 | Tickers: ERJ, BA

  Embraer (NYSE: ERJ) is the world's top manufacturer of midsize aircraft.  Production of regional jets has been strained lately by high fuel costs and slow global recovery, but eventual uptick could lead to a rally point for the company and its shares.  ADR's of Embraer have increased 29% already this year.  Embraer is the world's third largest commercial aircraft maker, trailing behind Boeing (NYSE: BA) and EADS more »

• Boeing Got the Order, But Lockheed’s Still The Better Option

  By Tim Brugger - February 14, 2012 | Tickers: ERJ, LMT, NOC, BA

  Boeing’s recent order from Indonesia’s Lion Air for 230 planes puts a cap on what has been a pretty amazing three months. An $18 billion order from Emirates Airlines was quickly followed by an even bigger $19 billion deal with Southwest Airlines toward the end of last year. And now Boeing (NYSE: BA) has topped them all with the $22.4 billion contract with Lion. The race for more »

• Embraer Faces Continued Turbulence

  By Tony Daltorio - December 23, 2011 | Tickers: ERJ, GD, TXT

  The world's third largest commercial aircraft producer and one of Brazil's top companies, Embraer SA ADR (NYSE: ERJ) is one of the few Latin American companies that has been able to compete successfully on a global scale. 

  Embraer has sold more than 5,000 aircraft operating in 92 countries. Annual revenues from its commercial and private jet sales alone total roughly $4 billion. 

  The company's stock hit more »
