Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • 64 jet deliveries in June 2026 support CFO's $1B–$3B free cash flow target.
  • 737 MAX 7 certification and restored FAA signoff authority this month unlock Southwest's 258-jet order.
  • New Everett 737 MAX line and SkyGuard cybersecurity expand revenue amid tightening FAA/EASA standards.

What critics are saying

  • 777X certification pushed to 2027 triggers $4.9B program charge, delaying widebody revenue by 12 months.
  • 737 MAX supply chain bottlenecks cap delivery scale, directly limiting free cash flow recovery.
  • IT outage on quarter-end halted inspections, proving fragile resilience and risking end-of-quarter targets.

What makes The Boeing Company unique

  • Boeing holds a near-duopoly with Airbus in commercial aerospace, serving 150 countries.
  • Boeing uniquely integrates commercial airplanes, defense systems, and space exploration like Artemis.
  • Boeing leads with flagship 777-9, the longest twin-engine commercial aircraft at 76.7 meters.

Boeing to factory-install SES multi-orbit connectivity on 737 and 787 aircraft

SES has reached a milestone with Boeing to offer its multi-orbit antenna as a line-fit connectivity solution on Boeing commercial aircraft. Boeing will install SES' in-cabin hardware network during factory production, starting with the 737 followed by the 787. The collaboration allows airlines to receive new aircraft with onboard network and connectivity service ready immediately after delivery. Boeing will install the complete in-cabin network and coordinate external equipment installation. SES' electronically steered array antenna system operates across both low-Earth orbit and geostationary satellite constellations, enabling global coverage and low-latency performance. The company has completed 500 installations and has 1,000 commitments in the pipeline for its multi-orbit system.

Defense contractors and oil companies profit from US-Iran war as gas prices surge past $4

As the US-Israel war with Iran enters its fifth week, American defence contractors and oil companies are reaping substantial profits whilst consumers face surging petrol prices approaching $4 per gallon. Defence stocks have surged, with Lockheed Martin jumping 25% this year after winning a contract to triple missile seeker production. Oil companies including ExxonMobil, Shell and Chevron have seen share prices rise over 20% as US crude nearly doubled from $65 to over $110 per barrel following Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. US oil producers could gain an additional $63 billion in profit, according to Rystad Energy. The situation mirrors 2022's Russia-Ukraine crisis, when global oil companies made $916 billion whilst American consumers faced record $5 per gallon petrol prices and 9% inflation.

Boeing core stage powers NASA's Artemis II crew around the moon

Boeing's core stage for NASA's Space Launch System successfully powered the Artemis II mission, lifting off at 6:35pm ET on 1 April 2026. The rocket carried NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen on a 10-day lunar journey aboard the Orion spacecraft Integrity. The 212-foot core stage, manufactured at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, features liquid oxygen and hydrogen tanks and four RS-25 engines producing 2.2 million pounds of thrust. Eight and a half minutes into flight, the core stage completed its mission and separated from the upper stage. Boeing is currently preparing core stages for Artemis III to V missions at Michoud and Kennedy Space Center, using components from suppliers across 38 states.

Boeing secures Vietnam orders as shares trade 38% below analyst targets despite $89.5B backlog

Boeing has secured new aircraft orders from Sun PhuQuoc Airways and Vietnam Airlines, highlighting a growing backlog amid questions about margins and cash generation. The company's shares have declined 16.4% year-to-date and 16.3% over 30 days, though one-year total shareholder return stands at 11.7%. Trading at $190.52 against an average analyst price target of $271.21, Boeing shows an estimated intrinsic discount of 37.9%. Analysts project revenue growth of approximately 13.6% annually, with sales climbing from around $80 billion in 2024 towards $110 billion by 2027, driven by increased production rates for the 737 MAX and 787, plus 777X introduction. The key risks include persistent manufacturing issues and potential order deferrals if demand weakens, threatening Boeing's $89.5 billion revenue pipeline.
