Boeing Stock Plunges After Earnings. 737 Progress Isn’t Fast Enough.

Boeing shares tumbled sharply following a third-quarter earnings report that revealed slower-than-expected 737 Max production rates and cautious growth forecasts. The stock plummeted nearly 10 percent to 11 percent, marking one of its steepest single-day declines since 2020. Management stated that the company will remain deliberate in ramping up 737 output, delaying its production targets until early 2027. Although third-quarter losses narrowed as defense sales rose and the backlog expanded to $745 billion, investor focus remained heavily anchored on the delayed 737 recovery timeline.
