Boeing's February Jet Deliveries Hit 2018 High, Last Post-Crash 737 MAX Delivered
BA sits 75% above its 52-week low of $128.88 on light trading volume (0.2× avg).
Summary
Boeing reported a significant operational improvement in February, delivering 51 jets, marking its highest February total since 2018. This includes a crucial milestone: the delivery of the last 737 MAX jet that required modifications following the 2018 and 2019 crashes, effectively resolving a major operational and reputational overhang. Despite ongoing challenges with 787 Dreamliner premium seat supplies, the company's overall delivery pace is accelerating, and it leads Airbus in year-to-date orders and deliveries. This positive delivery data is a strong indicator of operational recovery and will directly impact revenue recognition and cash flow. Investors will now watch for sustained delivery rates and further progress in resolving remaining supply chain bottlenecks, particularly for the 787 program.
