Boeing shares drop as 737 production delays persist into fourth quarter
· Business · Financial Times, Reuters
Boeing's shares fell sharply on Tuesday after the planemaker acknowledged it will miss its 737 delivery targets for the fourth quarter, citing persistent manufacturing bottlenecks. The company had previously guided for approximately 48 737 deliveries in Q4, but production setbacks have forced a reduction in the outlook. Supply chain constraints and quality-control issues at its Renton, Washington facility have compounded the delays, marking the latest challenge for the jetmaker recovering from the 737 MAX grounding. Boeing's stock closed down over 3 percent following the guidance revision.
Why it matters
