Boeing shares plunge following cautious production guidance

Boeing shares experienced a significant decline, dropping approximately 10% on Tuesday, marking one of the company's worst trading days since 2020. The selloff followed third-quarter financial results and cautious guidance from CEO Kelly Ortberg regarding production ramp-ups.

Boeing reported third-quarter revenue of approximately $24.2 billion, a 4% increase year-over-year. However, the company reported an adjusted loss per share of $0.34, which was wider than the $0.21 analysts had expected. The commercial airplanes division reported a loss of roughly $700 million, significantly exceeding market expectations.

CEO Kelly Ortberg stated that the company aims to stabilize 737 MAX production at 47 units per month before attempting to reach a rate of 52 aircraft per month, a goal now pushed to the second half of 2027. Production delays have been attributed to manufacturing challenges with wings and fuselages, specifically in Kansas. Despite these hurdles, Boeing maintains a record order backlog of $745 billion and aims to achieve $10 billion in annual free cash flow by 2029.
