Boeing is signaling a potential turnaround, with its stock rising significantly after executives presented an optimistic outlook for 2026. The company anticipates increased deliveries for its 737 and 787 jets, projecting a key driver for future cash flow.
Positive free cash flow is now expected for 2026, a notable shift from the projected cash burn for 2025. This outlook is supported by anticipated improvements in cash margins through 2030, driven by enhanced productivity and operational efficiencies.
Despite lingering challenges such as delays with the 777X jet and a significant payment to the U.S. Justice Department, recent strong delivery numbers and FAA approvals have bolstered confidence. Boeing remains committed to its long-term goal of generating $10 billion in cash.
