The Boeing Company $BA shared a detailed plan during its Q3 2026 earnings call to steadily improve free cash flow over the next several years, targeting $2 billion in 2026 and aiming for $10 billion by 2029. Despite generating $464 million in free cash flow this quarter, the company faced headwinds including a wider-than-expected quarterly loss and slightly missed revenue estimates. Production bottlenecks, especially in wing manufacturing, have slowed the ramp-up of 737 deliveries, pushing the target for reaching 52 aircraft per month to the latter half of 2027. Meanwhile, Boeing remains committed to delivering its first 777X jets in 2027, though certification hurdles persist. Capital expenditures are expected to remain elevated through 2029 as the company balances investment with improving cash flow.
Wall Street analysts remain largely optimistic on Boeing’s outlook, with a strong majority rating the stock as a buy or strong buy. However, investors should weigh these recommendations alongside Boeing’s ongoing operational challenges and the evolving market environment. After-hours trading saw $BA shares dip following the earnings release, reflecting caution over the slower production recovery and near-term risks.
