Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Boeing's September 2026 F/A-XX win extends defense relevance into the 2030s.
  • FAA lifted the 737 MAX production cap in October 2025, aiding delivery growth.
  • Commercial backlog exceeds 6,200 aircraft, supporting multi-year revenue visibility and cash flow.

What critics are saying

  • FAA delayed 737 MAX 10 certification after Boeing's September 2026 software glitch.
  • SPEEA's 17,000 engineers authorized strike action in August 2026, threatening certification work.
  • Starliner remains uncertified after the 2024 failure, preserving a SpaceX-dependent human spaceflight future.

What makes Boeing unique

  • Boeing won Navy F/A-XX in September 2026, pairing it with 2025 F-47.
  • FAA restored Boeing certification authority in July 2026, signaling improved manufacturing control.
  • Boeing still owns unmatched scale in 737, 787, and defense production capacity.

Boeing wins $20B+ Navy fighter contract, Moderna drops in premarket

US stock index futures traded near flat on Wednesday as investors awaited key inflation data and semiconductor earnings. The personal consumption expenditures price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, is due later today and expected to show inflation remaining above the central bank's 2% target. Boeing surged 3% in premarket trading after winning a contract worth over $20 billion to develop the US Navy's next-generation carrier-based strike fighter, the F/A-XX. The award beat rival Northrop Grumman and marks Boeing's second consecutive sixth-generation fighter programme win. Concentrix plunged 11.1% after reporting disappointing revenue and guidance. The company forecast fourth-quarter revenue to decline 3% to 5%, citing faster-than-expected AI automation among clients.

Boeing wins US Navy F/A-XX contract to replace F-18, second major fighter jet win this year

Boeing has won a Pentagon contract to develop the F/A-XX, the US Navy's next-generation stealth fighter jet designed to replace the F/A-18 Hornet, beating Northrop Grumman. This marks Boeing's second major fighter jet programme win this year, following its March victory over Lockheed Martin for the Air Force's F-47. The Navy has released limited details about the classified programme, including costs, procurement numbers, and operational timelines. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and his deputy initially opposed the F/A-XX, arguing the US defence industrial base couldn't handle two overlapping aircraft programmes, but Congress provided funding to proceed. Analysts question whether Boeing can secure adequate workforce for both programmes, particularly experienced engineers and production workers at its St Louis facility.

Boeing shares down 21% from peak as 737 Max wing production delays slow turnaround

Boeing shares have fallen 9% this year and sit 21% below their peak, as production delays test the company's turnaround efforts. The main bottleneck is the 737 Max wing assembly in Renton, Washington, which has prevented Boeing from reaching its target of 47 aircraft per month. CEO Kelly Ortberg told investors in September that production remains unstable at the current 42-monthly cap set by the FAA in October 2025. Reaching 52 aircraft per month by year-end appears unlikely, as it depends on a new production line in Everett coming online. Higher oil prices, driven by US-Iran tensions, have also pressured airline margins. Despite challenges, second-quarter revenue rose to $24.56 billion from $22.75 billion, with commercial deliveries increasing to 171 from 150 aircraft.

Boeing rebounds with 35% revenue growth while Lockheed Martin holds steady defense contracts

Boeing reported $89.5 billion in revenue for FY 2025, up 35% year-over-year, and returned to profitability with net income of $2.2 billion after an $12 billion loss in 2024. The commercial aircraft maker's recovery was driven by increased aircraft deliveries. However, Boeing carries a 10.0x debt-to-equity ratio and posted negative free cash flow of $1.9 billion. Stock-based compensation represented roughly 40% of operating cash flow. Lockheed Martin focuses exclusively on defence technology, with the US government accounting for nearly three-quarters of FY 2025 sales. The F-35 programme alone represents approximately 27% of total revenue. The company serves military and commercial operators across 40 nations. Both firms face customer concentration risks given their reliance on major government contracts and large commercial customers.

Boeing completes 13-satellite O3b mPOWER constellation with $715B order backlog

Boeing has completed its 13-satellite O3b mPOWER constellation for operator SES, following the launch of the final three satellites from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. The satellites joined 10 already in orbit. The constellation will support high-speed global connectivity for governments, cruise lines, commercial airlines and mobile users. Boeing's software-defined architecture developed for this programme is also being adapted for US Space Force's Evolved Strategic SATCOM systems and Wideband Global SATCOM. The satellites must complete orbit raising and initialisation before entering service in mid-2027. Boeing reported a total backlog of $715 billion at the end of the second quarter, with $85 billion in its Defence, Space & Security segment. Hedge fund ownership in Boeing declined from 99 funds to 90 funds between consecutive quarters, according to 13F filings.
