Boeing Secures Japan Airlines Order as Stock Rises on Positive Outlook

The company forecasts improved cash flow, stable production, and limited near-term tariff impacts, driving investor confidence.

Boeing CFO Brian West announced a new order for 17 737-8 planes from Japan Airlines, adding to the company's backlog of over 5,000 planes.
The company is stabilizing production of its 737 and 787 aircraft, with plans to increase monthly output to 38 and 7 planes respectively in 2025.
West stated that Boeing expects a one-time $150 million profit hit in Q1 but anticipates improved cash flow by 'hundreds of millions' of dollars.
The CFO reassured that near-term impacts from Trump-era tariffs are unlikely due to Boeing's largely U.S.-based supply chain and elevated inventory levels.
Boeing's stock surged over 6% following updates on production progress, financial improvements, and the Japan Airlines order.
