Boeing will not reach 737 production target until early 2027

Boeing announced it will not reach its 737 production target until early 2027, pushing back previous manufacturing schedules amid ongoing operational challenges. The company posted a wider-than-expected loss in its jet division and reported weaker free cash flow projections as deliveries stall. Despite narrowing its overall third-quarter loss on the back of rising defense sales, the commercial unit continues to sputter. Consequently, shares plunged nearly 10 percent as slower output and financial strain weigh on the aerospace manufacturer.
