Boeing stock slips after earnings boost, cash-flow guide takes center stage
Boeing shares fell about 1% to $242 in morning trading after Q4 earnings were lifted by a $9.6 billion divestiture gain. Management reaffirmed a positive 2026 free cash flow outlook despite costs from the Spirit AeroSystems integration and a new KC-46 charge. Investors remain focused on 737 MAX production rates and delays in 777X certification. Fourth-quarter free cash flow reached $375 million.
