I've created several model stock portfolios using Finviz software. On January 10, 2021 I created one for Boeing and its main US competitors: GD, Northrop, Raytheon and Lockheed. Of those five, I also own RTX which is one reason I didn't add to my BA when it was beaten down.

Initially that "paper" group was worth $100,000k on January 10 and is now valued at ~$113k. Very nice.

How did those five plane makers perform since_January 10? All five have risen. LMT did worst, at 2.7%. My Raytheon was up 14.10%.

Winner by far was BA... up 27.4%. S&P 500 was up 3.3%

WSJ: "Boeing Moon Rocket Passes NASA Test

Engines for Artemis mission complete eight-minute run, paving way for lunar flight this year"


"NASA’s plans for a lunar mission this year remain on track after it said a deep-space rocket made by Boeing Co. BA -2.86% passed a key engine test on Thursday.

The eight-minute ground test of the Space Launch System engines at a National Aeronautics and Space Administration facility in Mississippi followed an unsuccessful run in January that jeopardized the agency’s broader target of returning U.S astronauts to the moon by the middle of the decade.

The four engines previously used in the space shuttle program ran for the planned eight minutes during the latest test, twice as long as NASA said it needed to secure enough data for a live rocket launch. During January’s run, they stayed on for little over a minute.

The test provides a boost for Boeing’s space program, which has suffered a number of setbacks in recent years. It is also a fillip for the program as the Biden administration reviews NASA priorities and its targets for missions to the moon and into deep space."
