Top 10 Tech Stocks For 2019

tags:CCRN,GRVY,MODN,AVGO,KONE,IPGP,AMSWA,CYRN,PCLN,INXN,

European aircraft maker Airbus reported first-quarter results Friday morning, and the report was dominated by the company’s continuing problem: getting enough engines to deliver new A320neos to customers. The company’s revenues for the first quarter of the year totaled €10.1 billion (about $12.2 billion), down from €11.4 billion last year.

Airbus reported net new orders for 45 commercial jets, a big improvement from just six in the year-ago quarter. The orders include one for 20 A380 superjumbo passenger jets from Emirates. The company delivered 121 commercial jets in the quarter, compared to 136 deliveries in the year-ago quarter.

Adjusted consolidated EBIT in the first quarter totaled €14 million, compared to a net loss of €19 million last year. Adjusted EBIT for the commercial jet business showed a net loss of €41 million, which reflects the company’s inability to deliver A320neos.

Engine-maker Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), has begun shipping new geared turbofan engines for the A320neo, and CFM International, a joint venture between General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) and Safran, is still working on catching up on deliveries for the Leap-1A engine Airbus also uses on the A320neo.
