Boeing Hits a Key Milestone. The Stock Is Up.

Boeing stock rose after CEO Kelly Ortberg gave investors some good news about an important 737 MAX milestone. The company passed its capstone review with the Federal Aviation Administration, allowing it to increase its 737 MAX production to 47 jets a month, Ortberg said at the Bernstein Strategic Decisions investor conference Wednesday. Most recently, Boeing had been making 42 MAX jets a month, after getting FAA approval to raise production in late 2025.
