BA chart and analysis
Despite the recent jump in the price, year-to-date (YTD), shares are down over 28%, trading above the 20-day and 50-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs). BA has been trading in the $130.09 – $149.74 range in the last month with a positive short-term trend. Moreover, the support zones appear to be in the range between $139.06 and $141.59, while the resistance is located at $147.75. On the other hand, analysts rate the shares a strong buy, predicting that the average price in the next 12 months could reach $215.29, 45.72% higher than the current trading price of $147.74. Despite the positive news coming from the BA management, the issue with the supply chain disruption could be a large overhang over the entire aerospace industry. Looking at the recent gains, it seems as if investors are more upbeat about the stock, but Boeing has had numerous troubles lately, so staying cautious could be the best approach.
