    Boeing Backlog Reaches $745B but 737 Max Rate Increases Delayed to 2027

    Question

    Boeing Backlog Reaches $745B but 737 Max Rate Increases Delayed to 2027

    Direct answer

    Boeing's commercial backlog expanded by $30 billion sequentially to $745 billion during Q3 2026. However, persistent fabrication issues with wing components have forced a deferral of assembly rate acceleration. The company delayed its target of producing 47 units monthly into 2027 and its 52 per month rate into late 2027. Deliveries remain back-weighted, though the company retained a sole-source prime contract for sixth-generation defense fighter programs.
