    # Beta Finch Podcast Script: Boeing Q1 2026 Earnings

    **ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown where we dive deep into the quarterly results that are moving markets. I'm Alex, and I'm joined as always by my co-host Jordan. Today we're unpacking Boeing's first quarter 2026 earnings, and folks, this is a company that's been through quite a journey over the past few years.

    Before we get started, I need to share an important disclaimer: This podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only.

    **JORDAN:** Thanks Alex. And what a quarter this was for Boeing. We're seeing some real signs of stability and momentum building across their business segments. The headline numbers tell a compelling story - revenue jumped 14% to $22.2 billion, which is solid growth across all three of their main divisions.

    **ALEX:** That's right, and while they're still posting a core loss of 20 cents per share, that's actually an improvement from last year. What really caught my attention was CEO Kelly Ortberg's tone - he seems genuinely optimistic about where they're headed. He said they're "off to a really good start and headed in the right direction."

    **JORDAN:** Absolutely, and let's talk about what's driving that optimism. The production story is fascinating here. They've stabilized 737 production at 42 aircraft per month, and they're planning to ramp up to 47 per month this summer. But here's what's really interesting - they delivered the final 737 MAX from their "shadow factory" inventory in Q1. That's significant because it means they're finally clearing out the backlog of aircraft built during the production halt.

    **ALEX:** That's huge, Jordan. And speaking of production, they're bringing online a fourth 737 production line - the "North Line" in Everett. This is part of their plan to eventually reach 52 aircraft per month. What struck me was how methodical they're being about this ramp-up. They're moving experienced workers from their stable Renton facility to train new employees at Everett.

    **JORDAN:** Smart approach, especially given their quality focus. They mentioned a 20% reduction in final assembly rework hours compared to last year - that's the kind of operational improvement that builds confidence. But let's address the elephant in the room - the Middle East conflict and its potential impact.

    **ALEX:** Right, this came up several times during the Q&A. Ortberg was pretty clear that they haven't seen any delivery deferrals yet, and they actually delivered four aircraft to Middle East customers during the quarter. But he acknowledged they're watching fuel prices closely, since higher jet fuel costs could impact airline operations and aftermarket demand.

    **JORDAN:** What's interesting is how Boeing is positioned if defense spending increases due to the conflict. Ortberg highlighted that their defense platforms - the Apache helicopter, Patriot missile systems, F-15EX fighters - are all seeing increased demand. He mentioned seeing potential upside in their five-year defense outlook compared to what they planned last year.

    **ALEX:** Let's dig into those segment numbers. Commercial Airplanes had revenue of $9.2 billion, up 13%, though they're still posting negative margins. Defense, Space & Security grew 21% to $7.6 billion with a 3.1% operating margin. And Global Services - their most profitable segment - delivered $5.4 billion in revenue with an impressive 18.1% operating margin.

    **JORDAN:** Those Global Services numbers are really solid. They booked $8 billion in new orders with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.6, and their backlog hit a record $33 billion. This is the steady, cash-generating business th

    **ALEX**: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown! I'm Alex, and I'm here with my co-host Jordan to dive into Deere & Company's Q2 2026 earnings call. Jordan, before we dig in, I need to mention that this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN**: Thanks Alex. And what a quarter it was for Deere! The agricultural giant posted some really interesting results that tell a tale of resilience despite challenging market conditions. Let me start with the headline numbers - net sales came in at $13.37 billion, up 5% year-over-year, with equipment operations margins hitting 16.9%.

    **ALEX**: Those are solid numbers, but there's a big asterisk here, right? The margins got a significant boost from something pretty unusual.

    **JORDAN**: Exactly! Deere recorded a massive $272 million recovery from IEEPA tariff refunds - basically getting money back from tariffs they'd previously paid. Without that one-time benefit, the underlying story becomes more nuanced. This refund alone lifted margins by about 2.5 percentage points.

    **ALEX**: So let's break down what's happening across their three main business segments, because this is where the story gets really interesting. Jordan, it sounds like we're seeing very different cycles playing out simultaneously.

    **JORDAN**: That's the key insight, Alex. Production and Precision Ag - their large agriculture business - saw sales drop 14% to $4.5 billion. This reflects the ongoing challenges in large ag markets with elevated input costs, high interest rates, and cautious farmer sentiment despite recent grain price increases.

    **ALEX**: But on the flip side, their smaller segments are firing on all cylinders?

    **JORDAN**: Absolutely. Small Ag and Turf was the star performer with sales up 16% to $3.48 billion and operating margins over 20%. Management highlighted strength in turf markets recovering after several down years, plus healthy dairy and livestock sectors. Construction & Forestry also impressed with sales jumping 29% to $3.79 billion, driven by robust infrastructure spending and data center construction.

    **ALEX**: I found it fascinating how CEO Brent Norwood described this as having all three segments "operating at different points in the cycle." Can you explain what that means for investors?

    **JORDAN**: It's actually a strength, Alex. While large ag is operating "below trough levels," small ag and turf is progressing toward "mid-cycle," and construction is "slightly above mid-cycle." This diversification provides resilience - when one segment struggles, others can compensate. It's like having a balanced portfolio within a single company.

    **ALEX**: Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room - tariffs. This has been a major headwind for Deere, but the dynamics are shifting, right?

    **JORDAN**: The tariff situation is incredibly complex. While they got that $272 million refund I mentioned, their overall tariff exposure remains about $1.2 billion annually - roughly a 3% margin headwind. What's interesting is management's approach. CFO Josh Beal emphasized they're not passing tariff costs to customers through surcharges, instead focusing on cost mitigation strategies like reshoring and sourcing adjustments.

    **ALEX**: That seems like a customer-friendly approach, but how sustainable is it?

    **JORDAN**: Management seems confident in their mitigation efforts. About 80% of Deere's U.S. sales are produced domestically with 75% of components sourced from U.S. suppliers. They're doubling down on this with $20 billion committed to U.S. manufacturing investment over the next decade. They just started building excavators in North Carolina following a

    **BETA FINCH PODCAST SCRIPT**

    ---

    **ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown where we cut through the noise to bring you the insights that matter. I'm Alex, and joining me as always is Jordan. Today we're diving into Caterpillar's absolutely explosive Q1 2026 earnings call - and folks, this was a doozy.

    But before we dig in, I need to share an important note: This podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN:** Thanks Alex, and wow - you're right about this being explosive. I've been covering industrial earnings for years and this Caterpillar quarter was genuinely remarkable. Let me just hit you with some numbers right off the bat - revenue jumped 22% to $17.4 billion, adjusted earnings per share shot up 30% to $5.54, and here's the kicker - their backlog grew to a record $63 billion. That's a 79% increase year-over-year.

    **ALEX:** Those are staggering numbers, Jordan. But what really caught my attention was the announcement during the call. Caterpillar is essentially doubling down on their data center bet. They're expanding their large reciprocating engine capacity from 2x their 2024 levels to nearly 3x. That's massive.

    **JORDAN:** Absolutely massive, Alex. And CEO Joe Creed was pretty candid about what's driving this - it's the AI revolution. He mentioned that since they first announced capacity expansion plans back in January 2024, their large reciprocating engine backlog has grown by more than 3.5x. Customers aren't just ordering for this year - some orders are going well into 2028.

    **ALEX:** What I found fascinating was how this isn't just about backup power anymore. Creed mentioned they're seeing increasing demand for prime power applications - basically data centers that want their own dedicated power generation rather than just backup systems. That's a game changer because prime power means much higher service revenue downstream.

    **JORDAN:** Exactly, and that service revenue story is crucial. When you sell backup generators, you get the initial sale and some maintenance. But prime power? That's ongoing fuel, parts, service contracts - it's the gift that keeps on giving. Creed even mentioned this was their sixth agreement for at least 1 gigawatt of equipment for prime power applications.

    **ALEX:** Let's talk numbers for investors. They raised their full-year guidance to low double-digit growth - that's up from their previous outlook. And they're projecting free cash flow will be higher than last year's $9.5 billion. But there's a cloud here - tariffs.

    **JORDAN:** The tariff situation is really interesting, Alex. They absorbed about $600 million in tariff costs in Q1 alone, which was actually better than their $800 million estimate. But for the full year, they're still looking at $2.2 to $2.4 billion in tariff impacts. CFO Andrew Bonfield, who's retiring after this call, was pretty matter-of-fact about it - they're working on mitigation strategies but it's definitely a headwind.

    **ALEX:** Speaking of Bonfield, this was his final earnings call after what sounds like an incredible run as CFO. Kyle Epley is taking over, and he seemed well-prepared during his portion of the call. Any concerns about the transition?

    **JORDAN:** Not really - Epley has been with the company for over 20 years and worked closely with Bonfield. What I liked was his detailed breakdown of the Q2 outlook. He's expecting continued strong growth across all segments, with Power and Energy leading the charge. He also provided really granular details on tariff impacts by segment, which shows he's got a handle on the complexities.

    **ALEX:** The segment performance was pretty interesting too. Construction Industries had a massive 30% sales increase, Resource Industries grew 4%, and Power and Energy was up 22%.
