"Shares of U.S. aerospace giant Boeing soared more than 4% on Wednesday following strong first-quarter results that crushed analysts’ expectations and helped lift the Dow Jones Industrial Average higher after stocks tumbled in the previous trading session.
The Chicago-based company reported earnings per share of $3.64, compared with the $2.58 per share that analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected. Boeing reported revenue of $23.38 billion versus the forecast $22.35 billion."
