Boeing boosts monthly 737 production as results beat estimates

Boeing (BA.N) said on Wednesday it was lifting production of its bestselling 737 narrow-body jet, a sign the planemaker was recovering from a supplier error that had scuttled its plans for an early ramp-up.

Shares of the company jumped 4% before the bell after the company also posted second-quarter results that beat Wall Street expectations.

Boeing is now transitioning its 737 production line — including the MAX models that make up the vast majority of 737 production — to building 38 jets per month, up from 31, the company said. Meanwhile, higher deliveries of the 787 Dreamliner helped spur a rise in revenue in its commercial planes division.

“The overall outlook is unchanged, but the results from the Commercial Aerospace division is encouraging, particularly in light of the ongoing supply chain challenges,” Third Bridge analyst Peter McNally said.

“Boeing’s execution has improved, and it will need to continue on this path to turn the corner on sustained profitability.”

For the second quarter, Boeing reported a free cash flow of $2.58 billion, compared with a cash burn of $182 million a year ago.

The adjusted loss was 82 cents per share. Analysts polled by Refinitiv were expecting a loss of 88 cents per share. Boeing’s revenue rose 18% to $19.75 billion, beating expectations of $18.45 billion.

Margins at its defense business, however, were negative amid cost overruns. The company took a total of $514 million in charges related to the space capsule Starliner after its launch was indefinitely delayed in June, as well as for supply chain costs on the T-7 training jet and a schedule delay for the MQ-25 tanker drone.

The company still faces challenges, “whether they be issues to address within our own factories or outside our walls within the supply chain and logistics routes,” CEO Dave Calhoun said, referring to the recent collapse of a railway bridge used to transport 737 fuselages.

Boeing reiterated its plan to generate $3 billion to $5 billion in free cash flow this year, as well as to deliver at least 400 single-aisle 737s and 70 787 Dreamliners in 2023.

The push to build 38 737s a month comes amid heightened travel demand as airlines seek to grow their fleets post-pandemic.

  1. When I heard the word “Hacker” I used to think they were evil and manipulative, they just wanted to have access to your personal life and data, not until I met this “Asset Recovery Hacker” I got to know not all hackers are evil and not all heroes are drawn, shown on tv or wear capes. I lost my crypto assets to some shady crypto-asset broker on the internet who promised to earn me millions of dollars within a month or two if only I could invest with his platform. I wanted money, and there was never a way to make money without risk. I sent him a total of $553,000.00 worth of my crypto tokens. It’s been 5 months and no word from him. All I wanted was to make him pay for ripping my money and I hired ( CYBERGENIE(@)CYBERSERVICES(.)COM ) for that ethical hacking task of recovering my lost crypto asset. They were graciously helpful, and this asset recovery hacker’s process in recovering my lost tokens was swift, smooth, and interesting. After my experience with this hacker, my perspective on hackers changed. Cyber Genie Team Asset recovery team are wonderful.  Cyber Genie offers the best solution to recover your stolen online digital asset efficiently.

  2. Working with DARKRECOVERYHACKS to try and get my missing USDT money back turned out to be a really great experience. I decided to get into cryptocurrency trading at the start of this year to see how it would work out for me. Unfortunately, things did not turn out as expected. I initially chose the platinum plan and made a $72,000 investment since I thought I had fully researched and understood the entire procedure. But I found out that the business was fraudulent in nature and was using a phony name. They gave me what appeared to be a valid legal document, and I paid them for it. They used all of these dishonest methods to try to get me to invest in their business. I didn’t understand there was a problem until I ran into issues when I tried to take my money. Any additional charges for profit withdrawals were not mentioned in the agreement. They then insisted that I pay a 30 percent deposit. I grew concerned when I noticed that a chunk of my revenue that wasn’t specified in the initial agreement was missing. I called the police to report the incident, but tragically nothing happened. Despite assurances that efforts were being made, their pledges remained unfulfilled. A friend of mine at this point advised pursuing an alternative strategy, which would include working with a cryptocurrency recovery agent. One of my best decisions ever proved to be this one. I owe a great deal of gratitude to my friend Joe for exposing me to these extraordinary people. They really are exceptionally well-organized and careful. I am immensely appreciative of their assistance in getting my money back. Anyone interested in their services can reach them quickly on Telegram @DARKRECOVERYHACKS or Email via DARKRECOVERYHACKS @ GMAIL . COM. I genuinely appreciate them helping me out during this trying time. I consider myself fortunate to have had their instruction because their professionalism and effectiveness are absolutely commendable.

  3. Many of us tend to rely on our instincts more than we trust the advice of others, and while that can be acceptable, it doesn’t apply to every situation. I had a personal experience where I was introduced to a bitcoin mining platform by an Instagram broker. Unfortunately, it turned out that the broker was an imposter using someone else’s pictures to deceive people and take advantage of them financially. Despite my friends’ warnings at the golf club about the risks involved, I ignored their advice and invested with the platform. Initially, the withdrawal process went smoothly, but when I upgraded my account to the platinum plan, things took a turn. I invested a substantial amount of £317k and expected a payout within two weeks, as was the usual withdrawal span. However, I discovered that my account had been restricted, and I was asked to pay a fee to regain access. Frustrated, I shared my situation with my friends, and one of them, Mike, recommended a hacker who had previously helped him track his wife’s phone during a cheating incident. Without hesitation, I contacted the hacker and, in a short period of time, they gained access to my account, withdrew my funds, and closed the account. It taught me the importance of working with the best team to achieve the best results. I can confidently say that VIRTUALHACKNET is the right team for handling such cases.
