Boeing reported its seventh quarterly loss in a row as the company is yet to recover from damage caused by two deadly 737 MAX crashes and subsequent groundings. Boeing said that it is producing 787 planes at a rate of 3 per month and plans to increase it to 5 per month in late-2023. The company said that recent flaws found in its 737 planes will not dent its delivery and cash-generation targets but there are concerns that it may negatively impact delivery schedules.
Boeing is trading over 3% higher in premarket today. Current premarket quotes point to opening of today's cash trading session near recent local highs. In such a scenario, overall technical picture for the stock would be left unchanged - price continues to trade in a range marked with 50% and 61.8% retracements and direction of a breakout would likely determine direction of the next big move.
