Boeing Takes Off: Order Surge and Regulatory Easing Boost Stock

Boeing's stock price is gaining momentum after the FAA announced a relaxation of restrictions on aircraft deliveries and the company secured comprehensive new orders from several airlines. The FAA plans to return to Boeing the authority to conduct final safety checks on 737 MAX jets itself—a significant step following recent safety crises. This news reflects growing confidence in the operations of the aerospace corporation. Additionally, Boeing was able to record substantial aircraft orders. Turkish Airlines placed its largest order to date, ordering up to 75 787 Dreamliners and up to 150 additional 737 MAX aircraft. These developments led to a stock price increase to $222.05, a 4% rise from the previous day’s close. In the context of Boeing's historically not-too-volatile movements—with only seven swings of over 5% in the past year—the current stock price dynamic highlights the importance of the news for the market. The last notable price increase of 2.2% was recorded a few days earlier, when Boeing announced the largest order in the company's history from Uzbekistan Airways and initiated talks with China about a significant order. Uzbekistan Airways ordered up to 22 787 Dreamliners worth over $8 billion. The prospect of a major deal with China and further Kazakhstan plans to expand its Boeing fleet additionally bolster investor optimism. Furthermore, Boeing is seeking European approval for the planned acquisition of supplier Spirit AeroSystems. Since the beginning of the year, Boeing’s stock has increased by 29.2% and is approaching its 52-week high at $222.05 per share. Investors who entered five years ago can enjoy a value increase of 33.7%.
