Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust is buying 40 Boeing shares at about $173.23, raising its holding to 660 shares and its weighting to about 3% from 2.75%. Boeing fell 10% after CEO Kelly Ortberg gave a multiyear free cash flow outlook below expectations, citing lower commercial-jet deliveries and higher capital expenditures for a next-generation Navy fighter jet contract. Analysts had expected about $10 billion of free cash flow in 2028, but management pushed that target back to 2029. The author sees the reset as achievable and likely beatable, and credits Boeing with giving multiyear visibility for the first time in years after progress on culture, supply chain and trust. The Max 7 and Max 10 have now been certified by the FAA, and deliveries on a key part of the $612 billion commercial backlog are set to begin next year.

- Boeing shares slide on a disappointing cash flow update. Why this dip is buyable
Boeing shares fell about 10% on Tuesday to a fresh 52-week low after the company gave long-term free cash flow guidance below expectations, even though third-quarter revenue of $24.19 billion rose 4% year over year and beat forecasts. Free cash flow of $464 million beat the $330 million expected, and Boeing kept its $2 billion expectation for 2026. However, it now sees free cash flow of $3 billion in 2027 and $6 billion in 2028, reaching its $10 billion target in 2029, a year later than Wall Street had modeled. The company ended the quarter with a record $745 billion backlog, and CEO Kelly Ortberg said customer demand has not changed. The author views the report as a clearing event, reiterating a buy-equivalent 1 rating while lowering the price target to $225.
- Boeing Stock Slumps Again; Time to Buy or Throw in the Towel?
Boeing shares fell again after management cut its outlook, with the 737 MAX production ramp-up delayed by up to a year and free cash flow (FCF) forecasts below consensus. FCF is projected at $2 billion in 2026, $3 billion in 2027, $6 billion in 2028 and $10 billion in 2029, versus Visible Alpha consensus of $5.3 billion, $9.5 billion and $12.4 billion for 2027–2029. The 777X certification, expected by mid-2027, followed by first delivery, is a major risk, as delays would keep more cash tied up in undelivered aircraft. The author estimates that if Boeing reaches $10 billion in FCF in 2029 and trades at 20 times FCF, the share price would be about $252, an annual return of 14.4% to 2029, and considers management's 2027–2029 production targets conservative. The author says the stock looks attractive after the reset if production targets are met, though volatility is likely, and points to a $745 billion backlog.
- Boeing's Backlog Grew to $745 Billion. The Question Remains How Fast It Can Fulfill It
Boeing reported an adjusted loss of $0.34 per share, worse than the $0.21 loss Wall Street expected, although revenue of nearly $24.2 billion beat the $23.84 billion forecast. Its total order backlog hit a record $745 billion at the end of September, including over 6,300 commercial airplanes and up about $30 billion from the prior quarter. However, CEO Robert Kelly Ortberg said the 737 Max has not yet reached its stability rate of 47 per month and may not be fully stable at that rate until next year, pushing the target of 52 per month to the second half of 2027, and the stock fell nearly 10.7% on Oct. 27. The 737 Max 10 recently received FAA certification and has over 1,500 orders, while the U.S. Navy selected Boeing for a $20 billion contract to build its sixth-generation fighter aircraft. Ortberg expects free cash flow of about $2 billion this year and $10 billion by 2029, below the $12.5 billion Wall Street consensus had modeled for 2029 before the report.
- The big reason Boeing's stock is falling so hard after earnings
Boeing expects to fall short on 737 Max deliveries, which casts doubt on its turnaround plans.
- Why Did Boeing Stock Crash After Earnings?
Boeing (BA) shares fell 9.6% by midday after its third-quarter report showed both earnings and sales missing expectations. The non-GAAP loss was $0.34 per share versus an expected $0.24, and sales came in at $24.2 billion against $24.4 billion expected. On a GAAP basis the loss was $0.26 per share, while operating cash flow rose 33% to $1.5 billion and free cash flow was $500 million for the quarter. The article also cites FAA certification of two more 737 models and a record backlog of 6,300 airplanes worth $745 billion at list prices. Analysts still don't expect a profit this year, but 2027 prospects are improving.
- Boeing is set to report earnings before the bell. Here's what Wall Street expects
Boeing will report quarterly results before the market opens Tuesday, with investors focused on how quickly it can increase aircraft production, especially the 737 Max. Consensus estimates from LSEG point to a smaller loss than the $5.34 billion net loss in the same period of 2025, with a loss of 21 cents per share and revenue of $23.84 billion expected. Boeing currently produces about 47 737 Max planes a month and aims for more, but CEO Kelly Ortberg said stabilizing output is taking longer than expected, with an increase planned for next year. The FAA recently approved the 737 Max 10, the largest model in the Max family, following the 737 Max 7 approval in August.

- How T7X Is Building the Infrastructure for a New Era of Capital Markets
The article presents T7X’s “native issuance” model, in which a token is part of the security’s authorized issuance from the start and a transfer agent maintains the official ownership record. Citing Pantera Capital research on 593 tokenized assets across 11 asset classes, it notes that 77.6% were “digital wrappers around traditional infrastructure” rather than securities in their own right. Wyoming law recognizes a “certificate token” that lets shares be represented on a blockchain, and T7X Equities serves as transfer agent for Tranquil Healthcare Fund I, a Tier 2 Regulation A+ offering of up to $75 million qualified by the SEC. The author argues that a token is only a real asset when its holder is recorded on the transfer agent’s books.
- Are the good times over for AI stocks?
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi reviews last week’s tech sell-off and asks whether the good times for some AI stocks may be over. He notes that AI demand and big tech’s cash balances remain strong, but urges caution about buying on dips ahead of Apple’s earnings this week and Nvidia later this month. Citing Truist’s Keith Lerner, he says tech stocks trade well below their 10-year average P/E ratio as earnings expectations have been cut, while the S&P 500 trades at about 19 times forward earnings. Historically, tech sell-offs have often continued until a clear all-clear signal appears.

- Apple Shouldn't Be The Most Valuable Company In The World
Apple has reclaimed the title of world's most valuable company after Nvidia's shares fell in an AI-stock sell-off, but the article argues it faces several challenges. Component costs have risen sharply due to demand for AI data center chips, and according to Counterpoint, global smartphone shipments fell 20% year over year to their lowest level in 14 years. Apple's global smartphone market share reached 22%, yet overall unit sales still declined. The iPhone 18 lineup is expensive, with the two-screen Duo starting at $1,999. Apple will use a tailored version of Google's Gemini, but Gemini is already available on many other devices, which may limit the appeal of the integration.
