Warren Buffett&#8216;s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) revealed that Precision Castparts, an aerospace parts manufacturer it acquired in 2016, has experienced close to a $2 billion increase in value.
What Happened: The Oracle of Omaha had previously labeled the acquisition a &#8220;big mistake,&#8221; leading Berkshire to take approximately $10 billion writedown in 2021. Buffett admitted that he &#8220;paid too much&#8221; for the company when Berkshire acquired it for $37 billion in 2016, leading to significant job cuts. The recovery has brought Precision Castparts&#8217; value to about $34 billion, nearing the break-even point for the deal, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6dbdec34-b2f8-4e9c-8b31-ac008211d4cd">reported</a> the Financial Times.
The aerospace industry&#8217;s resurgence after the 2020 pandemic and increased production from Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), a key client of Precision Castparts, are credited with the recovery. Deloitte &amp; Touche resolved a critical audit issue related to Precision Castparts, which had affected Berkshire&#8217;s financial reports for five years.
In the past, Deloitte had flagged the valuation of Precision Castparts as requiring a &#8220;high&nbsp;degree of auditor judgment and&nbsp;an increased extent of effort.&#8221; However, as its customers&#8217; prospects improved, Berkshire&#8217;s management increased its estimate, providing more flexibility.
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44554819/elon-musk-dismisses-dogecoin-use-by-government-clears-the-air-on-doge-department-two-very-different-things">Elon Musk Dismisses Dogecoin Use By Government, Clears The Air On DOGE Department: &#8216;Two Very Different Things&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: Precision Castparts, has been on a growth trajectory since 2024, bouncing back from a difficult start to the decade. Despite the challenges, the company&#8217;s revenues finally surpassed their 2019 peak in 2024, rising 12% to $10.4 billion. Pre-tax profits also saw a significant rebound, increasing by 24% to approximately $1.9 billion. 
The company attributes the revenue increase to higher demand for aerospace products and, to a lesser extent, power generation products. The earnings increase was mainly due to sales increases and improved manufacturing and operating efficiencies.
Precision Castparts&#8217; future success could depend on its ability to increase production to match expected growth in air travel and demand for aerospace products, as well as improvements in industry supply chains and labor relations.
In its annual letter to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/exclusives/25/02/43917155/warren-buffett-americas-businesses-usually-find-a-way">Berkshire&#8217;s shareholders</a> in February, Buffet wrote, &#8220;While our ownership in marketable equities moved downward last year from $354 billion to $272 billion, the value of our non-quoted controlled equities increased somewhat and remains far greater than the value of the marketable portfolio.&#8221;
Buffett is likely to address further questions regarding Precision Castparts at the company&#8217;s annual meeting in May.

Shares of industrial stocks are trading lower following greater-than-expected inflation data measured through the PCE price index for February, while personal spending missed estimates. Additionally, recent tariff announcements may be weighing on equities.

NASA and Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) are making progress toward certifying the CST-100 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nasa.gov/blogs/commercialcrew/2025/03/27/nasa-boeing-prepare-for-starliner-testing/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Starliner </a>for crewed missions after its recent test flight to the International Space Station.
Both teams are working to resolve technical issues encountered during flight while gearing up for additional propulsion system evaluations in the near future.
After the uncrewed Starliner safely returned from orbit, thorough postflight analysis has been carried out, resolving over 70% of identified issues.
Meanwhile, propulsion system anomalies experienced during the mission will remain under examination through at least 2025 as further testing progresses.
Both NASA and Boeing are working to determine the necessary scope and timeline for upcoming propulsion system evaluations, which are scheduled throughout the spring and summer.

Key tests at the White Sands Test Facility in New Mexico will include integrated thruster firings within a single service module &#8220;doghouse&#8221; to refine thermal models and assess potential upgrades to propulsion and spacecraft heat shielding.
To enhance performance in upcoming missions, engineers are evaluating operational adjustments, including modifying thruster pulse sequences to control heat accumulation and integrating thermal barriers within the propulsion unit.
&#8220;Our investment in commercial crew transportation capabilities is providing the needed flexibility to operate in space as safely as possible and respond to changes quickly when they arise. NASA is seeing the commitment from Boeing to adding the Starliner system to the nation's crew transportation base,&#8221; said Ken Bowersox, associate administrator for Space Operations at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
Additionally, teams are testing updated helium system seals to reduce the risk of leaks. Mission planners intend for Starliner's next flight to be a fully operational post-certification mission, carrying crew members to the space station.
NASA retains the flexibility to utilize the spacecraft for cargo-only missions if required.
The Starliner program has faced <a target="_blank" href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43638821/boeing-has-spent-2-billion-on-the-starliner-debacle-as-musks-spacex-set-to-rescue-the-stranded-astronauts" rel="noreferrer noopener">numerous setbacks, including delays</a>, technical malfunctions, and significant budget overruns.
Intended to serve as NASA's alternative crew transport to the International Space Station alongside SpaceX's Crew Dragon, the spacecraft has encountered persistent challenges. Since its first crewed test flight in June, Starliner has dealt with thruster failures, helium leaks, and other critical complications.
Price Action: BA shares traded lower by 2.10% at $175.35 at last check Friday.

NASA And Boeing Push Forward With Starliner Crew Certification

Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) shares are trading higher on Thursday following the announcement of a<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/movers" rel="noreferrer noopener"> significant contract award.</a>
The U.S. Army Special Operations Aviation Command (USASOAC) <a target="_blank" href="https://boeing.mediaroom.com/news-releases-statements?item=131537" rel="noreferrer noopener">awarded </a>Boeing a $240 million contract on Thursday to remanufacture five MH-47G Block II Chinook helicopters.
Deliveries for the aircraft are scheduled to begin in 2027. This contract underscores Boeing&#8217;s continued support for U.S. military operations, particularly for special operations forces with unique mission requirements.
Heather McBryan, vice president of Cargo Programs at Boeing Defense, emphasized the importance of providing the enhanced capabilities of the MH-47G Block II to meet these needs.
This contract follows USASOAC&#8217;s 2024 acquisition of four MH-47G Block II helicopters, bringing the Army&#8217;s total to 51 under contract. Boeing expects to complete the entire USASOAC Chinook fleet by early 2030.
The MH-47G Block II aircraft is designed for long-term use with its reinforced airframe, advanced avionics, and fuel tanks, positioning it for future upgrades.

iShares Dow Jones US Aerospace & Defense Index Fund

What's Going On With Boeing Stock On Thursday?

U.S. Army Special Operations Aviation Command (USASOAC) awarded Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) a $240 million contract to remanufacture five MH-47G Block II Chinook aircraft. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2027.
"Supporting the needs of our special operators continues to be critically important," said Heather McBryan, Cargo Programs vice president and program manager for Boeing Defense, Space &amp; Security. "USASOAC has unique and complex mission requirements, so it's vital we provide the enhanced capabilities of the MH-47G Block II as quickly as possible."
The award follows USASOAC's acquisition of four MH-47G Block II aircraft in 2024. With this award, the Army now has a total of 51 MH-47G Block II aircraft under contract. Boeing anticipates completing the entirety of the USASOAC Chinook fleet in early 2030.
The MH-47G Block II heavy-lift helicopter improves the global reach of USASOAC capabilities. With a reinforced airframe, redesigned fuel tanks, state-of-the-art avionics and a design that enables future affordable modernization efforts, the aircraft is well positioned to fly for decades to come.

The U.S. Space Force has approved the Vulcan rocket, a rocket manufactured by the United Launch Alliance (ULA), a joint venture between Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), to launch national security satellites.
What Happened: The Vulcan rocket, designed to replace the Atlas V and compete with SpaceX&#8216;s Falcon 9, received its certification after a successful second flight, despite a minor explosion in one of its boosters, according to a report by Reuters.
Brigadier General Kristin Panzenhagen highlighted the certification&#8217;s importance, noting it boosts the nation&#8217;s space launch capabilities. The rocket, which took nearly a decade to develop, had its first flight in January 2024.

The Vulcan&#8217;s initial national security mission is planned for this summer, with the joint venture scheduling about a dozen launches this year.
Why It Matters: A recent <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/03/44245065/air-force-report-slams-lockheed-boeings-ulas-performance-elon-musks-spacex-stands-as-sole-alternative">Air Force report</a> had criticized the joint venture for not meeting its commitments in the National Security Space Launch program. This report ranked ULA among the least effective, highlighting the need for improvement.
Moreover, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39574766/spacex-overtakes-ula-in-military-space-missions-as-vulcan-centaur-rocket-experiences-delays">SpaceX</a> has been gaining ground in military space missions, overtaking ULA as the primary choice for Pentagon satellite launches. This shift underscores the competitive pressure on ULA to enhance its performance and regain its standing in the industry.

Boeing Says Korean Air Finalized A Landmark Order For Up To 50 Widebody Airplanes

Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) is set for a pivotal moment in its ongoing legal battle, with a U.S. judge scheduling a criminal fraud trial for Jun. 23, highlighting the aerospace giant&#8217;s persistent challenges stemming from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42716905/boeing-in-spotlight-after-fatal-737-800-crash-in-south-korea-stock-declined-28-amid-deepening-2024-challenges">two fatal 737 MAX crashes that claimed 346 lives</a>.
What Happened: The trial comes after U.S. District Judge Reed O&#8217;Connor rejected a previous plea deal, criticizing a diversity provision and setting the stage for a potentially landmark legal proceeding, reported Reuters. In 2023, O&#8217;Connor described Boeing&#8217;s actions as potentially &#8220;the deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history.&#8221;
The original plea agreement, struck in July, included a potential fine of $487.2 million and a three-year probation period with an independent monitor. However, victims&#8217; families have consistently argued that the deal fails to adequately hold Boeing accountable.
Boeing did not immediately respond to&nbsp;<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: The case centers on Boeing&#8217;s alleged misrepresentations to U.S. regulators about critical flight control systems on the 737 MAX. The company&#8217;s legal challenges are compounded by recent safety incidents, including a January 2024 in-flight door panel blowout on an Alaska Airlines flight that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44411079/boeing-frustrations-reach-crescendo-at-airline-founded-by-warren-buffett-of-india-we-just-dont-have-enough-aircraft-to-fly">exposed ongoing quality concerns</a>.
Despite these legal and operational hurdles, Boeing has secured some positive developments, including a significant U.S. Air Force contract for next-generation fighter aircraft, potentially worth tens of billions of dollars. 
The company continues to face delivery challenges, with airlines like Malaysia Aviation Group and Akasa Air experiencing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44431541/malaysia-aviation-group-orders-30-boeing-737-max-jets-secures-option-for-30-more-amid-rising-southeast-asia-demand">significant aircraft order delays</a>.
Price Action: Boeing closed at $182.59 on Monday, up 0.97% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped 0.10% to $182.40. Year to date, Boeing&#8217;s stock has gained 6.24%. However, over the past year, the stock has declined by 2.62%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Boeing lacks a strong growth forecast and valuation, according to Benzinga Edge&#8217;s ranking. For more insights,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/screener/top-momentum-stocks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sign up for Benzinga Edge</a>.

Boeing's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

INOD

Shares of stocks in the broader industrial sector are trading higher amid overall market strength on reports of potentially narrowed or targeted tariffs, which may be easing investor concerns.

Last week Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) won a US Air Force contract to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/contracts/25/03/44445996/lockheed-martin-shares-sink-after-major-us-air-force-contract-goes-to-boeing-what-to-know">design, build and deliver next-gen fighter aircraft</a>.
The contract award, which "comes at a pivotal time for Boeing," is expected to be worth "deep into the tens of billions of dollars over its multi-decade lifespan," according to Goldman Sachs.
The Boeing Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58ff56e50bd9910001fba87f/noah-poponak">Analyst Noah Poponak</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $213.
The Boeing Thesis: The company was selected for the Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program over Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) to provide the sixth generation of fighter jet aircraft, called F-47, Poponak said in the note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
While official numbers have not been released, he added that the NGAD contract could be worth as much as $20 billion over the next five years.
"This award comes at a pivotal time for Boeing, as it has not been awarded the prime contractor role on a US fighter jet in decades," the analyst wrote.
Poponak stated there had been concern about Boeing's long-term prospects for its defense segment and the company's recent cost overruns in other development programs.
"The loss for Lockheed means it will continue to face the question of what comes behind the F-35, which has grown to ~25% of earnings," he added.
BA Price Action: Boeing&#8217;s shares had risen by 2.97% to $183.40 at the time of publication on Monday.
