But 2012 Guidance On Pension Costs Surprises Analysts

Boeing released 2011 Q4 financials Wednesday, and the news was mixed. Despite a long, deep recession, the company's order backlog allowed fourth-quarter net income to rise to $1.4 billion, or $1.84 per share, on revenue of $19.6 billion. But the company also warned that pensions costs higher than anticipated by analysts will create a headwind for 2012.

The company projects pension expenses to be 83 cents per share. Kenneth Herbert, an analyst with Wedbush Securities, told Reuters, "People had been expecting the pension expense was going to go up, but the amount of the increase was more than I was looking for. I was looking for something in the range of 50 cents."

Overall, Boeing predicts 2012 revenue of $78 billion, and forecasts earnings to be in the range of $4.05 to $4.25 per share. That falls well below analyst estimates which have been close to $5/share. Boeing's share price were relatively flat on the mixed news.
