Boeing: "The company's 2011 financial guidance reflects solid core operating performance, higher pension expense, the recently revised 787 schedule and the current defence contracting environment. Boeing's 2011 revenue guidance is between USD68 and USD71 billion and reflects the initial 787 and 747-8 deliveries. Earnings guidance for 2011 is established at between USD3.80 and USD4.00 per share. Boeing Capital Corporation expects that its aircraft finance portfolio will continue to reduce in 2011, as new aircraft financing of less than USD0.5 billion is expected to be lower than normal portfolio run-off through customer payments and depreciation," Source: Company statement, 26-Jan-2011.
