Boeing backlog hits $745B as 737 ramp slips into 2027 — BA cash-flow timing re-prices
Question
Boeing backlog hits $745B as 737 ramp slips into 2027 — BA cash-flow timing re-prices
Direct answer
Boeing's backlog rose $30B sequentially to $745B, but 737 production targets of 47/month and 52/month slipped into 2027/late-2027, delaying delivery cash recognition. A long straddle monetizes repricing from backlog support versus FCF slippage and invalidates if BA stays inside the post-event implied move after management confirms the delayed cadence. — bullish pressure on BA.
