10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">traded lower on Thursday.</a> The company&#8217;s CEO, Kelly Ortberg, reportedly said that SpaceX&#8217;s Elon Musk is helping to solve issues within the delivery process of Boeing&#8217;s Air Force One presidential jet, Reuters reports.
At the Barclays Industrial Select Conference, Ortberg stated that they aim to reach 38 &#8216;737 jets&#8217; per month for 2-3 months before requesting a rate increase from the FAA, the report adds.
Last month, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/28/elon-musk-boeing-air-force-one-replacements.html#:~:text=Boeing%20is%20working%20with%20Trump,CEO%20Kelly%20Ortberg%20said%20Tuesday." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> that Boeing is collaborating with Musk to speed up the delivery of delayed and overbudget Air Force One replacements, citing a statement from Ortberg in an interview.
The two Boeing 747s meant to replace Air Force One are more than $2 billion over budget and years behind schedule due to design changes, labor issues, and supply chain problems.

Trump negotiated the deal for the aircraft during his first term, after threatening to cancel the order in 2017 due to high costs, CNBC noted.
Ortberg mentioned in the CNBC interview that they are working with Musk to reduce costs and deliver the planes sooner.
Today, Ortberg noted that the 737 supply chain is in good shape, but acknowledged Boeing is evaluating the impact of a fire this week at a Pennsylvania factory, which is a key supplier of aircraft fasteners, Reuters reported.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, BA stock has lost over 11% in the past year. Investors can gain exposure to the stock via iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>).
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Boeing, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For Boeing, the 200-day moving average sits at $169.46, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is below the current price of $180.72. For more on charts and trend lines, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
Price Action: BA shares closed lower by 2.83% to $180.88 on Thursday.

Trump U.S. Department of Transportation Deputy Nominee  Steven Bradbury Says U.S. Regulators "Need To Be Tougher On Boeing"

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he tried—but ultimately failed—to find someone "smarter" than Elon Musk to lead the newly established Department of Government Efficiency. Sitting next to Musk during&nbsp; a joint <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/remarks/2025/02/interview-of-president-trump-and-elon-musk-by-sean-hannity-the-sean-hannity-show/">interview on Fox News' "The Sean Hannity Show</a>" on Tuesday,, Trump said, "I searched all over. I just couldn't do it."
The moment highlighted Musk's reputation as one of the most influential and innovative minds in modern history. The billionaire chief executive of Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), SpaceX, and X has been hailed for revolutionizing electric vehicles, space travel, and artificial intelligence. His mother, Maye Musk, has called him "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43504134/elon-musks-mom-says-its-degrading-when-people-call-her-son-wealthy-or-a-billionaire-instead-she-prefers-the-genius-of-the-world">the genius of the world</a>."

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘We Settled on This Guy'</h2>
Trump, known for his bombastic style, made it clear that while the comment was in jest, he genuinely believes Musk is one of the smartest people alive. "We settled on this guy," he quipped, motioning to Musk.
The president explained that one of his top priorities was bringing in "great people" for his administration. While he had only known Musk "a little bit" before, he quickly recognized the billionaire's unique ability to tackle big problems.
"I wanted great people. And he's a great person. He's an amazing person. He's also a caring person," Trump said. "He's a good person, a very good person, and he wants the country to do well."

While Musk is taking a leading role in DOGE, Trump emphasized that safeguards are in place. "If there's a conflict, he won't be involved," he assured. "I mean, I wouldn't want that, and he wouldn't want it."&nbsp;
The White House this week said Musk is serving as a senior adviser to Trump, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43801916/elon-musk-has-no-actual-authority-to-make-government-decisions-says-trump-white-house-on-doge">not holding a formal position</a> within DOGE, and "has no actual authority to make government decisions himself," according to Joshua Fisher, director of the White House Office of Administration, in court filings.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Musk's Plan to Cut $1 Trillion</h2>
Musk, known for slashing costs and disrupting industries, has set an ambitious goal to cut $1 trillion in federal spending. He sees "an opportunity to fix the system" but cautioned that no single administration can solve everything.
Musk emphasized that effective leadership is about both competence and a genuine concern for taxpayers. He pointed to Trump's negotiations with Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) over the cost of the new Air Force One as a prime example. Initially, the price tag was significantly higher, but Trump pushed back, ultimately saving billions of dollars. According to Musk, without that level of scrutiny and negotiation, the final cost could have been nearly 50% more than what was settled.
Trump praised Musk's ability to bring "high-IQ individuals" into government, emphasizing his&nbsp; drive. "He's a very different kind of character," Trump said. "You need energy, also, in addition to those other things. You know, I have a lot of guys that are very smart, but they have no energy. They want to sleep all day long. You need a lot of energy. He's got a lot of energy. He's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43761629/elon-musk-gets-8-million-a-day-from-taxpayers-dem-question-why-no-one-is-investigating-his-billions-of-dollars-from-federal-government">doing a great job</a>."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">‘You Can't Get Somebody Like This'</h2>
Musk acknowledged that his new role comes with intense scrutiny, saying, "The possibility of me getting away with something is 0%—0.0. I'm scrutinized to a ridiculous degree."
Trump agreed, adding, "He's under a pretty big microscope. Everybody is watching him. If there's a conflict, you're going to be reading about it within about two minutes after the conflict."
Musk isn't worried about that, though. "What's better than saying ‘trust me' is just full transparency," he said. "Just go to DOGE.gov. You can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43801493/this-says-it-all-says-mark-cuban-as-doge-website-was-still-blank-despite-musks-claim-that-all-department-actions-were-posted-there">see every single action</a> that's being taken."
He admitted mistakes will happen but said the key is fixing them quickly. "Nobody bats a thousand. But we're going to fix the mistakes very fast. That's what matters: not that you don't make mistakes, but that you fix them very fast."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Trump's ‘Search' Ends With Musk</h2>
While Trump's comment about searching for someone "smarter" than Musk was obviously a joke, it reinforced the billionaire's status as one of the most influential figures in technology and government.

'We Settled On This Guy' — Trump Wanted To Find Someone 'Smarter' Than Elon Musk To Run DOGE: 'I Searched All Over. I Just Couldn't Do It'

Boeing's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.57% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 18.75 million shares sold short, which is 2.5% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.04 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Boeing Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1740060205_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Boeing has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Boeing's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Boeing's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.88%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

What's Driving the Market Sentiment Around Boeing?

Boeing CEO Says Want To Be At 38 737 Per Month For 2-3 Months Before Asking FAA For Rate Increase

Boeing CEO Says Rolling Out "Culture Team" Across Company Beginning This Year; Says Feb Deliveries Will Be Down A Little Bit From Jan; Supply Chain On 737 Is In Good Shape

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly considering getting Air Force One planes from a different manufacturer besides Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>).
What Happened: &#8220;I&#8217;m not happy with Boeing,&#8221; Trump said, as reported by Reuters. The President, however, dismissed the idea of using an Airbus plane. 
The Pentagon gave a fixed-price contract to Boeing to deliver two new Air Force One planes several years ago. They were expected to be delivered in Dec. 2024 but have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/03/31480361/pentagon-probes-boeing-security-credentials-lapse-for-air-force-one-report">been delayed</a>. 
&#8220;We may do something else. We may go and buy a plane, or get a plane or something,&#8221; the president said on the heels of reports that the program could be delayed until 2029 or beyond owing to supply chain issues and changing requirements
Why It Matters: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43081860/inside-potus-air-force-one-aircraft">Air Force One </a>technically refers to any Air Force aircraft with the U.S. President on board. However, it is often used to refer to two primary presidential aircraft manufactured by&nbsp;Boeing Co. called&nbsp;VC-25A, a modified variant of the Boeing 747-200 airliner.
The U.S. Air Force is looking to replace the current primary presidential aircraft with VC-25B, based on the Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental aircraft given the VC-25A is now old after being delivered in 1990 under the George HW Bush administration.

Trump Considers Alternatives For Air Force One Planes Besides Boeing, Says He's 'Not Happy,' But Dismisses Airbus

Howard Lutnick, the newly confirmed Commerce Secretary under President Donald Trump&#8216;s administration, reiterated the President&#8217;s proposal for the abolition of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
What Happened: While appearing on Jesse Watters Primetime on Fox News, Lutnick was asked his opinion on the much talked about DOGE dividends. In response, the Commerce Secretary stated, &#8220;Think about it, Donald Trump announces the External Revenue Service, and his goal is very simple &#8230; his goal is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and let all the outsiders pay.&#8221;

In January, Trump had floated the idea of eliminating federal income taxes entirely. During his conference in Doral, Florida, the President stated, &#8220;&#8230;instead of taxing our citizens to enrich foreign nations, we should be tariffing and taxing foreign nations to enrich our citizens.&#8221; 
Lutnick also revealed that Elon Musk, who is currently serving as a senior White House adviser leading the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has plans to &#8220;cut&#8221; $1 trillion. He further added, &#8220;Then we&#8217;re going to get rid of all these tax scams that hammer against America, and we&#8217;re going to raise a trillion dollars of revenue.&#8221;

Why It Matters: This proposal comes in the wake of reports that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43754316/irs-gears-up-to-lay-off-thousands-of-workers-potentially-impacting-tax-season-no-analysis-to-the-impact-it-will-have-on-operations">the IRS is on the brink of dismissing a substantial number </a>of employees, including probationary ones. This move could significantly impact the agency&#8217;s operations during the crucial tax filing season. The Office of Personnel Management has instructed all agencies to terminate their probationary employees who are relatively new to their roles and do not have full job protections.
The DOGE has recently faced a lot of criticism regarding its mass firings of probationary officers in key federal agencies. Notably, Lutnick did not discuss the mass IRS layoffs during the interview. 
Trump&#8217;s idea of an External Revenue Service has met with mixed responses from analysts and economists. Erica York, Vice President of the Federal Tax Policy, had previously told Fox News, &#8220;Tariffs are not external revenue; they are taxes on U.S. importers that shrink both the U.S. economy and U.S. incomes. Higher tariffs will create a drag on the U.S. economy and will threaten to offset the benefits of tax cuts elsewhere. They should not be relied upon as a major source of tax revenue.&#8221;
Meanwhile, a recent poll by Benzinga revealed that among Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Tesla (TSLA) and Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), 35% of the respondents feel that Apple will bear the maximum brunt of the tariffs.

Trump's Goal Is To 'Abolish' IRS And 'Let All The Outsiders Pay,' Says Newly Confirmed Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick

President Donald Trump's plans to place tariffs on imported goods from several countries, including China, could cause retaliation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43442219/why-beer-tequila-avocados-cars-iphone-prices-could-rise-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-to-hurt-several-sectors">from other nations.</a>
A recent Benzinga poll shows which companies could be hurt by Trump's tariff plans in China.
What Happened: Trump has targeted China, Canada and Mexico with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43805852/trump-shakes-global-trade-with-25-auto-chip-and-pharma-tariffs-announcement-asian-stocks-pare-their-five-day-rally">tariffs or threats of tariffs</a> since taking office in January.
China has been Trump&#8217;s favorite target, and the tariffs and threats of additional tariffs could hurt relations with the country.
Higher prices to import items from China could also hurt consumers if costs are passed from companies down the line.
Benzinga recently polled readers on which company could be most vulnerable to Trump&#8217;s China tariffs.
"Which stock is most at risk from Trump's China tariffs?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), supply chain reliance on China: 35%</li>
<li>NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), chip exports facing restrictions: 28%</li>
<li>Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), China factory and exports: 28%</li>
<li>Boeing Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), aircraft sales to China: 9%</li>
</ul>
Apple was the top choice in the poll, and the company was viewed as the most likely to be at risk from tariffs on China.

&#8220;Will Trump&#8217;s tariffs on China help or hurt the U.S. economy?&#8221; Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Hurt businesses and consumers: 54%</li>
<li>Help the economy: 36%</li>
<li>No real impact: 10%</li>
</ul>
Most respondents said that tariffs on China will hurt businesses and consumers in America.
While Trump has called the tariff moves a way to fight trade imbalances, other countries have threatened America with retaliatory measures, such as tariffs or other measures. The Wall Street Journal said China was looking to target American companies with antitrust concerns. The list of companies China could target includes Nvidia, Apple, Broadcom, and Alphabet.
According to a new report, China is now<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43600852/china-sets-sights-on-us-tech-companies-as-trade-tensions-rise" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> turning its attention </a>to targeting American technology companies as trade relations escalate.

Elon Musk&#8216;s expanding role in the Trump administration is raising questions about potential benefits to his business empire, which already receives about $20 billion in government contracts.
SpaceX stands to gain with President Donald Trump&#8216;s support. Trump has praised the company and called Musk &#8220;super genius,&#8221; and he has nominated tech billionaire Jared Isaacman, who has led two SpaceX missions, as NASA administrator.
Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), however, faces mixed prospects. While the Model Y remains the best-selling car globally, Trump&#8217;s reversal of electric vehicle policies could impact the company, which received $2.8 billion in subsidies and earned another $2.8 billion from regulatory credits in 2024.&nbsp;

The company recently reported its first annual decline in EV sales in over a decade, particularly pronounced in Europe.

The platform serves as a key communication channel for the administration&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency, which Musk leads. After earlier financial struggles that led Musk to consider bankruptcy, the platform&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/02/43517095/elon-musks-lenders-cash-in-5-5-billion-on-thanks-to-investor-demand-for-x-loans-report">debt is now selling near face value</a>.
Musk&#8217;s artificial intelligence venture xAI could benefit from the administration&#8217;s friendly stance toward AI development, marked by the appointment of Musk ally David Sacks as AI czar and the rescinding of Biden-era safety standards. However, it empowers competitors like OpenAI, which Musk recently attempted to acquire.

Starlink, however, faces international challenges.

Brazil temporarily banned the service last year amid disputes over content moderation on X.
SpaceX&#8217;s advantage over competitors like Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Blue Origin could expand under Trump&#8217;s ambitious missile shield plans, which require space-based interceptors. The company remains unique in its ability to launch numerous satellites quickly.
Neuralink, Musk&#8217;s brain implant company, achieved its first human implant but remains under strict FDA oversight. The Boring Company&#8216;s tunneling projects continue in Las Vegas and California, while its chief executive, Steve Davis, now helps lead government efficiency efforts.

The White House says Musk will &#8220;excuse himself&#8221; from government efficiency work related to his business contracts. However, critics remain concerned. &#8220;The strategic direction is being driven by Elon&#8217;s ego, not what is best for Tesla,&#8221; Ross Gerber, a longtime shareholder, recently <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/78928872-918b-4ce6-87c7-c6545c9467f8">told the Financial Times</a>.
Musk, who donated more than $250 million to Trump&#8217;s 2024 campaign, maintains all government contracts were won on merit. His companies could benefit from reduced oversight, as his role includes reviewing agencies that have previously investigated his businesses.
