This growth was primarily driven by solid performance in the Defense, Space & Security (BDS) and Global Services (BGS) segments, with Commercial Airplanes (BCA) revenue also showing an increase year-over-year for the nine-month period due to delivery mix. Net earnings also saw a significant increase, reaching $2.36 billion for the quarter and $7.04 billion for the nine months, up from $1.81 billion and $5.14 billion respectively in the prior year periods. This strong profitability is reflected in diluted earnings per share, which rose to $4.07 for the quarter and $11.95 year-to-date. The company's backlog remains robust at $491 billion, indicating strong future revenue potential.
