That is, their revenue from gov't defense contracts was as high as some of the largest pure plays (like LMT), and that did not count the non-defense revenue. Always meant to take a closer look at BA after that, but never did.
This is probably the best review Ive seen listing all contractors. The latest available numbers are FY2012.
Defense News - Top 100 for 2013
You are right - BA makes a ton of money and is ranked #2 in the revenue list. A neat $31.3B revenue out of $81B revenue for 2012 (amounting to 38.4%)
