Jim Cramer, a former hedge fund manager and the face of CNBC’s Mad Money, continues to keep faith with Boeing (NYSE: BA), calling it ‘the stock he most wanted to own’ coming into 2026.
In his latest post on X, Cramer described the aerospace giant as a ‘huge position’ for his charitable trust, praising CEO Kelly Ortberg for turning it into a ‘monster order.’
“Boeing is a huge position for my charitable trust and has been the stock I most wanted to own coming into the year. Now we are seeing a huge show of force from this one and its terrific CEO Kelly Ortberg. Giant win from Delta of planes that it can make with tremendous margins. Monster order,” Cramer wrote on January 13.
Cramer was loyal to Boeing throughout 2025, even during periods of market uncertainty and controversy. The unwavering support has certainly paid out, as BA shares are up 43% over the past year, trading at $243.72 at publication time.
Jim Cramer praises Boeing
The most recent post on X was not the first time Cramer praised Boeing this year. During a Squawk on the Street episode aired on January 6, for example, he took the chance to comment on the high demand enjoyed by the company.
Likewise, Cramer noted a recent Boeing stock price target of $277 issued by Bernstein, adding that the stock is still on a remarkable run.
“You know, I think the world of this fellow, and he’s amazing, and we’re starting to get some real recognition this morning. I saw Bernstein say 267, goes to 277, demand remains high, outstrips supply to 2030. This stock has had a remarkable run. It continues to have it.”
More recently, the media personality argued the upward trajectory is there thanks to Ortberg’s efforts, implying he believes there are still greater things on the horizon for the management.
“You’ve got to put this at the feet of Ortberg, who decided: ‘You know what? We’re gonna go and make this thing great and safe before we go to FAA and say we want more.’”
The praise Cramer has for Boeing is in stark contrast with oil stocks, which have been his primary target in the past couple of weeks, especially following President Trump’s intervention in Venezuela.
