Boeing's May Jet Deliveries Soar 33% Year-Over-Year to 60 Aircraft
BA sits 22% above its 52-week low of $176.77 on light trading volume (0.2× avg).
Summary
Boeing delivered 60 jets in May, marking a 33% increase year-over-year. This included 51 737 MAX jets, the highest monthly total for that model since production restarted in December 2024. This positive delivery update follows recent reports of planned 737 production rate increases and a significant order from China, suggesting a positive shift in operational momentum after earlier production issues. Strong delivery numbers are critical for revenue recognition and demonstrate the company's progress in ramping up production and addressing past challenges. The company aims to increase its 737 production rate to 47 jets per month this summer, which could further boost future delivery figures.
