Boeing is set to update investors on how quickly it can increase aircraft production in the coming months when it reports quarterly results before the market opens Tuesday.
Wall Street is expecting Boeing to post a smaller loss for the quarter than it did last year as it hands over more aircraft to airlines and other customers after years of safety and manufacturing crises. The company posted a net loss of $5.34 billion in the same period in 2025.
But an investor focus is how quickly the company will be able to ramp up production of its planes, including of the best-selling 737 Max.
Boeing has been producing about 47 of its 737 Max planes a month, but is aiming for more. CEO Kelly Ortberg told investors last month that production is taking "a little bit longer" than expected to stabilize, and the company expects to increase its output of the planes next year.
Aircraft production and deliveries are key to Boeing's recovery since the bulk of an aircraft's price is paid when the customer receives it.
Here's what Wall Street analysts are expecting the company to report, according to consensus estimates from LSEG:
- Loss per share: 21 cents expected
- Revenue: $23.84 billion expected
The manufacturer had some wins lately. The Federal Aviation Administration last week signed off on the 737 Max 10, the largest in the Max family. That followed the approval of the 737 Max 7 in August and marked the final certifications for the aircraft line.
