To discuss Boeing's (BA) growth prospects for 2025, Gabelli Funds Portfolio Manager Tony Bancroft — who oversees the Gabelli Commercial Aerospace and Defense ETF (GCAD) — joins anchors Brad Smith and Seana Smith on Catalysts. Bancroft emphasizes that Boeing's priorities should lie in restoring safe and efficient production operations. "I think as long as you're seeing the trajectory going positive, that's gonna be a good sign for Boeing," he tells Yahoo Finance, identifying this as a key to the company's stock recovery in 2025. Analyzing Boeing's business divisions, Bancroft highlights the aircraft manufacturer's strong competitive advantage in defense manufacturing, specifically citing the Boeing KC-46 Pegasus and P-8A anti-submarine aircraft. However, he notes that Boeing lacks similar advantages in its space program. Regarding the company's various initiatives, Bancroft suggests Boeing needs to critically evaluate its portfolio, asking "What's the profitability of this program?" Watch the video above for Bancroft's outlook on the impact of the upcoming Trump administration's policies on the aircraft maker.

This post was written by Angel Smith How to play the defense sector: Boeing, Lockheed Martin, RTX Amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and President-elect Donald Trump's upcoming second term in the White House, Gabelli Funds portfolio manager and aerospace and defense analyst Tony Bancroft joins Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton on Market Domination to discuss how to play the defense sector. "Overall, the US and the new administration probably still wants to retain its stature as the world's superpower," Bancroft says, adding, "I know that there's been a lot of discussion with the DOGE and cutting costs [and] federal spending. But I think the industry is a relatively an oligopoly," Bancroft says. "There's going to be definitely a friction [between the federal government and defense contractors] and there's going to be negotiations on both sides. But I think the defense industry will probably do well in the long run," he adds. Bancroft names Boeing (BA) as one of the top holdings of Gabelli's Aerospace and Defense ETF (GCAD) and says the fund likes Northrop Grumman (NOC), Lockheed Martin (LMT), and RTX Corp (RTX), formerly known as formerly Raytheon Technologies Corporation.

Boeing could lose $100M per day of strike: Portfolio manager As 33,000 Boeing (BA) union workers take to the picket line and go on strike, rating agencies warn that a prolonged strike could result in a downgrade for the company. Gabelli Funds portfolio manager Tony Bancroft joins Market Domination hosts Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton to discuss what the strike means for the company and its investors. “We continue to believe in the secular thesis of the growth story of commercial aerospace and Boeing being, you know, a large participant in that,” Bancroft says. “In the near term, there's a lot of volatility going on right now,” since “this strike has made it unclear of the timeline to get the production rates back,” but in Bancroft’s view, the portfolio manager tells Yahoo Finance this event will be "more of a blip." While it’s difficult to measure the exact financial impact of the strike, Bancroft estimates the work stoppage will result in a loss of around $100 million for the company per day of the strike. “The best thing they can do right now is get the production in line and start that growing again.” The “Machinist Union makes great planes, Boeing makes great planes,” and “the airlines in the commercial aerospace industry need these planes," Bancroft lays out. The Boeing workers are represented by the International Association of Machinists (IAM) union, Districts 751 and W24.
