Airbus posts record 2025 results as Pratt & Whitney engine shortages cap A320neo deliveries

Airbus reported €73.4 billion revenue and a record €5.22 billion net profit in 2025, delivering 793 commercial aircraft and signing more than €120 billion in orders. Strong demand across commercial, defence and space is tempered by Pratt & Whitney engine shortages that limit A320neo handovers and push the 75‑aircraft/month ramp beyond 2027.

Airbus stock falls on weak 2026 delivery guidance; analysts remain constructive Airbus shares slipped after management set conservative 2026 delivery guidance, stoking investor concern over near‑term production momentum.
