'Feast or famine': How Bombardier became a TSX star in 2021

When #Bombardier first announced plans to launch the CSeries family of commercial jets in 2008, the company described the program as “game-changing.”
 
According to the news release, issued during the Farnborough International Airshow, the sleek, fuel-efficient airliners would build on Bombardier’s transportation expertise, which included light-rail vehicles and business jets.
 
The CSeries ultimately lived up to its “game-changing” expectations, but in ways Bombardier’s leadership could have never imagined.
 
Thirteen years later, after offloading its once-prized CSeries program and selling its regional plane and rail divisions, the Montreal-based firm has transformed into a pure-play business jet company.
 
And amid a pandemic that has seen demand for private travel surge, investors have rewarded Bombardier, sending its shares up roughly 250 per cent over 2021. The stock is now among the best performers on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
