Boeing July Deliveries Plunge 17% to 53 Jets, Missing Expectations
BA sits 33% above its 52-week low of $176.77 on light trading volume (0.1× avg).
Summary
Boeing handed over only 53 jets in July, a sharp 17% drop from June's 64, signaling production hiccups just as the company targets a record 70 per month on the 737 MAX. The miss comes amid a backdrop of surging orders — including a 200-jet China deal and a 100-jet SMBC Aviation order — making execution the critical question. July's net orders of 30, after eight cancellations, add modestly to the backlog but don't offset the delivery shortfall. With year-to-date deliveries at 367, Boeing must accelerate sharply to meet full-year expectations. The next monthly delivery report will show whether this is a blip or a trend.
