Boeing's stock dropped 2.67% to $221.30 despite securing a $119 billion defense deal with Israel. The company reported a significant backlog of $86 billion but experienced a negative cash flow of $1.45 billion in the latest quarter, raising concerns about its financial recovery.

Boeing reported a revenue increase of nearly 14% to $22.2 billion in Q1, while its defense unit generated $7.6 billion, a 21% rise. However, the company faced a negative free cash flow of $1.45 billion and a net loss of $7 million, indicating ongoing financial challenges.
The recent $119 billion military expansion contract with Israel, including the F-15IA squadron, is a critical win for Boeing’s defense sector. Meanwhile, EgyptAir received its first 737 MAX, starting an 18-aircraft lease.
Boeing aims to increase narrowbody production from 42 to 47 per month, but delays could worsen cash flow issues. Investors remain cautious as Boeing continues to navigate its recovery.
