Intel stock spikes after report of possible US government stake
Investing.com -- Boeing (NYSE: NYSE:BA) shares climbed 5% after CFO Brian West’s remarks at the Bank of America Global Industrials Conference indicated the aerospace giant is on track with its key success factors for the year. West’s comments, reported by Bloomberg, suggested that the first quarter is broadly meeting the company’s expectations.
West highlighted the company’s production efficiency, describing the factory’s performance in its push to achieve 38 aircraft per month as "fantastic." Additionally, he noted the stabilization of the 787 production rate at 5 per month, with plans to increase the output. Despite a one-time expense of $100M expected in the first quarter earnings, West did not foresee a material near-term impact from tariffs on supply. However, he did express concerns over the availability of parts, which could pose challenges for the company.
The CFO’s update provided a boost to investor confidence, reflecting in the stock’s positive movement during the trading session. Boeing’s focus on maintaining production rates and managing expenses appears to be resonating with the market, as the company navigates through an industry still recovering from the impacts of the pandemic and supply chain issues.
While the company faces ongoing challenges, such as parts availability, the overall message from the CFO was one of steady progress and careful management of the business’s key areas.
