Boeing faces fresh delays to new versions of its wildly popular 737 Max as it doubles down on its safety focus
A pair of upcoming variants of Boeing's most popular plane, the 737 Max have been further delayed to 2026, CEO Kelly Ortberg confirmed in an earnings call Tuesday. Achieving certification for the Max 7 and Max 10 will be a key benchmark for Ortberg, who is approaching one year at the helm and has been leading Boeing's turnaround. The company had initially hoped the Max 7, the shortest version of the flagship narrow-body jet, would be certified in 2022. However, it has been constrained by work on the engine anti-ice system, a key safety feature that prevents ice from building up during cold weather conditions and at high altitude. "Work on the solution is taking longer than expected, and we now are expecting certification in 2026," Ortberg said on the second-quarter earnings call. The delay was first reported last week by industry publication The Air Current. Back in 2023, the Federal Aviation Administration warned that the system could cause the engine to overheat — and potentially result in debris breaking off and hitting the plane. Boeing then requested an exemption, saying an engine breakup is "extremely improbable," but withdrew this request in January 2024 as it faced a safety crisis in the wake of the Alaska Airlines blowout. Figuring out a solution for the complex system has been far from straightforward. Ortberg told investors on Tuesday that Boeing has been exploring different design paths. "We found some issues with the design implementation we had, so we're going to have to back up and make some additional design changes to get through that de-icing requirement," he said. "Basically, the engineering designs have not yielded in the time frame that we were anticipating, and so we still have work to do." His comments came after Ryanair's earnings call last week, when CEO Michael O'Leary said Boeing's commercial airplanes chief wrote to confirm the airline's first 15 Max 10s would be delivered in the spring of 2027. Meanwhile, Boeing is also working to certify the 777X — a twin-engine wide-body jet, also years behind schedule. It's now expected to enter service in 2026 as well. "Flight testing continues with no new technical issues to report," Ortberg said during the earnings call. Boeing reported quarterly revenues above expectations of $22.7 billion, with a net loss of $612 million. It's been ramping up production of its cash-cow 737 Max, reaching the 38-a-month limit imposed by the FAA. Its share price fell about 4% on Tuesday, but is still up more than 30% since the start of the year.

Boeing's Q2 beat signals turnaround is 'continuing to progress'
Boeing (BA) released second quarter results showing a sales beat and a loss per share that was less significant than expected. Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Pras Subramanian and Bloomberg Intelligence senior aerospace defense and airlines industry analyst George Ferguson take a closer look at the earnings print and what it signals about Boeing's turnaround efforts. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Catalysts here. Boeing beating second quarter expectations as the company slashed costs and aircraft deliveries picked up. This is CEO Kelly Ortberg continues his turnaround playing plan saying the jet maker can quote make 2025 our turnaround year. Joining me now Yahoo Finances Pras Subramanian and George Ferguson Bloomberg Intelligence, Senior Aerospace Defense and Airlines industry analyst. Guys, thanks for being here. Pras, I want to start with you. Sort of give us the the bullet point takeaways on these results and what we need to know. Yeah, I mean, I think the turnaround plan like that that Ortberg has mentioned is it is working. I mean, revenue up 35% compared to a year ago. Uh narrower core loss per share than expected, but big is that I think the big point is a cash burn cut to 200 million in Q2. A massive improvement compared to the 2.3 billion burned last quarter and 4.3 billion burned a year ago in the same quarter. So that's really changing the dynamics there. What's helping there is they're delivering more planes. Finally, 150, 150 deliveries in Q2. They hit 38 737 Max planes per month in Q2. So, you know, Ortberg optimistic here saying that the start of the second half of the year, we're moving in the right direction ahead of where I thought we'd be in a recovery. If we continue to tackle the important work ahead of us and focus on safety, quality and stability, we can navigate the dynamic global environment, make 2025 our turnaround year. So strong statements here for a company that a year ago was was struggling pretty much. And and it's also kind of remarkable, George, that the cash burn that has turned around now and was positive on an operating business in the core, on an operating basis in the quarter. How did they achieve that and can they sustain that? Yes, so I agreed. I think that, you know, that cash generation number is I think is one of the most key metrics to watch for Boeing. Uh it was all about deliveries, right? Deliveries are rising. Uh most importantly the 737 Max, that's their money maker. Uh they had what a bit over 100 deliveries this quarter. We think they could have 135 or so of those deliveries next quarter. We're looking for them to double those deliveries this year. Um that's going to help them continue to generate cash. They've got a lot of inventory in the balance sheet, $89 billion, tens of billions of dollars above where it should be. And as they deliver these airplanes, we think that they won't bring the suppliers up as quickly as they start to deliver airplanes and bring down that inventory and continue to unlock cash. And that cash is, you know, is going going to help them improve the balance sheet. So everything I saw in the quarter looked like uh the turnaround is uh is continuing to progress. George, I'm curious how much of that deliveries boost was a result of some of the strong arming on the part of the US administration trying to increase deliveries from from other countries. And if so, you know, how sustainable is that? Yeah, I mean, I think they they dial in these deliveries, you know, um I think they actually start cutting sort of airplanes and building components a couple years out, some of the long lead time items. So I think it'd be hard for the the Trump administration to sort of strong arm and get and get these deliveries sort of pushed up in in short order. I mean, one of the concerns though around deliveries would be the tariff situation. Boeing has a really important customer in uh Europe, Ryanair. We didn't see any deliveries in in the last month. Um and you know, it seems like the tariff situation is sorting itself out. And I think as long as that tariff situation continues to sort itself out, you won't see Boeing building airplanes and parking them on the tarmac, right? They need to get them delivered to the customer to get the cash. That's the one thing I think, you know, we're a little bit concerned about, but so far it seems to be working fine. So I mean, I'm uh I I think they're I think they're going to do all right getting deliveries out the door this year.

Earnings live: Spotify, Novo, UnitedHealth stocks slide after results; Boeing beats
Second quarter earnings season is in full swing, and the results have been largely positive so far, with more positive surprises than negative ones. Companies had a lower bar to clear coming into the quarter, as analysts tempered their expectations amid President Trump's tariffs, stocks' lofty valuations, and uncertainty about the health of the US economy. This week, investors will be treated to another flurry of quarterly results from Big Tech companies, including Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN). This week's reports also include updates from Spotify (SPOT), Ford (F), Procter & Gamble (PG), Boeing (BA), Starbucks (SBUX), and Qualcomm (QCOM), among others. Data from FactSet published Friday showed that with 34% of the index having reported results, analysts expect S&P 500 companies to report a 5.6% jump in earnings per share during the second quarter. Heading into the quarter, analysts expected S&P 500 earnings to rise 5% in Q2, which would mark the slowest pace of earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2023. Here are the latest updates from corporate America. Boeing Q2 results beat expectations as planemaker slashes costs Boeing (BA) reported second quarter earnings on Tuesday that topped expectations — and stemmed the tide of cash burn that's plagued Boeing since early last year as CEO Kelly Ortberg continues his turnaround of the beleaguered jet maker. Boeing reported revenue of $22.7 billion, more than the $21.68 billion analysts had forecast, according to Bloomberg data and a 35% jump compared to a year ago. Last year, the company was mired in a production slowdown stemming from the door plug blowout of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max jet. The company posted adjusted loss per share of $1.24, less than the $1.40 that was forecast, while its operating loss tallied $176 million more than the $161.1 million estimated. Most importantly, Boeing's cash burn rate was cut to just $200 million in Q2, a massive improvement to the $2.3 billion cash burn last quarter and the $4.3 billion cash burn seen a year ago. Read more here. Spotify stock sinks after Q2 earnings miss Spotify (SPOT) shares fell as much as 10% in early premarket trading Tuesday after the audio streamer missed second quarter earnings and revenue expectations. The results follow a remarkable 120% rally over the past year, as the stock rebounded from 2022 lows on the back of price hikes, cost cuts, and investor enthusiasm for AI and advertising. Spotify hit a record high of $738.45 earlier this month, but shares slid to around $635 immediately following the results. Spotify reported second quarter revenue of €4.19 billion ($4.86 billion), missing analyst expectations of €4.27 billion, though up from €3.81 billion in the same period last year. The company posted an adjusted loss of €0.42 ($0.49) per share, sharply missing forecasts for a profit of €1.97 and down from earnings of €1.33 in Q2 2024. "Outsized currency movements during the quarter impacted reported revenue by €104 million vs. guidance," the company said in the earnings release. Operating income also fell short of expectations, although subscriber metrics Spotify's massive rally heading into the earnings report was fueled by a sweeping business overhaul, including layoffs, leadership changes, and a pullback from costly podcast exclusivity. After spending $1 billion to build out its podcast business, the company has since scaled back and narrowed its focus. Still, it remains committed to the medium, paying over $100 million to creators in Q1 alone, including high-profile names like Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper. Read more here.

Whirlpool stock tumbles after trimming earnings guidance Whirlpool (WHR) stock tumbled 12% after hours. The Michigan-based maker of washers and dryers reported diluted earnings of $1.17 per share on net sales of $3.7 billion. Wall Street was expecting earnings of $1.58 per share on net sales of $3.8 billion. Investors have been watching Whirlpool, which manufactures most of its appliances in the US, as a potential winner from President Trump's tariffs. However, the company hasn't seen the benefits of Trump's policies yet. In fact, retailers front-running expected tariffs appeared to weigh on the company's second quarter results. "As expected, the second quarter continued to be impacted by competitors stockpiling Asian imports into the U.S.," the company said in the earnings release. "Despite this, we are well positioned in North America with a robust pipeline of new products, the industry's leading U.S. manufacturing footprint, and favorable housing demand fundamentals. We are confident in our long-term strategy and believe that evolving tariff policies will ultimately support domestic manufacturers." Whirlpool also cut its full-year guidance to $6 to $8 a share (previously it was $10 a share) and recommended slashing its quarterly dividend to $0.90 per share from $1.75 per share. Waste Management beats on revenue, earnings Waste Management (WM) reported earnings and revenue that beat Wall Street expectations, sending the shares marginally higher in after-hours trading. Earnings per share of $1.92 were ahead of estimates for earnings of $1.90 per share, while revenue of $6.43 billion exceeded estimates of $6.35 billion, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. "Our second quarter results are a strong demonstration of our progress on all fronts," WM CEO Jim Fish said in a release. "Our Collection and Disposal business produced robust organic revenue growth and margin expansion, achieving the Company's best-ever operating expense margin." Waste Management stock rose 0.7% following the results. Tilray stock sinks after earnings Tilray stock (TLRY) reversed gains, sinking over 6% after hours after the Canadian cannabis company posted mixed quarterly results. Net revenue was $224.5 million in the fourth quarter compared to $229.9 million in the same period a year ago and $233 million estimated, per S&P Global Market Intelligence. Tilray posted adjusted earnings of $0.02 per share, compared to expectations for flat profitability. For its fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, Tilray expects to achieve adjusted EBITDA of $62 million to $72 million Listen to the earnings call live here.

S&P 500 hits record highs amid parade of earnings with more Big Tech results on deck The S&P 500 (^GSPC) cleared its fifth straight record high on Friday after a busy week of earnings, headlined by reports from Google (GOOG) and (TSLA). With 34% of S&P 500 companies having reported results, 80% have reported a positive earnings per share surprise, and 80% reported a positive revenue surprise. Earnings season isn't slowing down just yet, however, with more major companies reporting next week. Notable companies reporting include Big Tech giants such as Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL) and consumer-facing names like Procter & Gamble (PG) and Mastercard (MA) that can provide an updated view on consumer health. Here's a look at the earnings calendar for the next five business days: Monday: Tilray (TLRY), Waste Management (WM), Whirlpool (WHR) Tuesday: Boeing (BA), Booking Holdings (BKNG), Caesars (CZR), Cheesecake Factory (CAKE), Merck (MRK), PayPal (PYPL), Procter & Gamble (PG), Spotify (SPOT), Starbucks (SBUX), SoFi (SOFI), UnitedHealth Group (UNH), UPS (UPS), Visa (V) Wednesday: Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Arm (ARM), Altria (MO), Carvana (CVNA), Ford (F), Generac (GNRC), Harley Davidson (HOG), Hershey (HSY), Humana (HUM), The Kraft Heinz Company (KHC), Qualcomm (QCOM), Robinhood (HOOD) Thursday: Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY), Cigna (CI), Coinbase (COIN), CVS Health (CVS), Mastercard (MA), Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH), Reddit (RDDT), Roblox (RBLX), Roku (ROKU), Strategy (MSTR) Friday: Chevron (CVX), Colgate-Palmolive (CL), Exxon Mobil (XOM) Intel turnaround story could realistically take years, analyst says Intel (INTC) stock fell 9% on Friday after the company reported quarterly results on Thursday that showed it was focused on cost-cutting. Intel's revenue of $12.8 billion beat analyst expectations of $11.8 billion, per Bloomberg data, and the chipmaker issued an upbeat Q3 revenue forecast of between $12.6 billion and $13.6 billion. But the company continues to face challenges as it attempts to transform into a chipmaker as well as a chip designer. As Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton noted in our markets blog, investors focused on Intel's manufacturing roadmap instead of its headline numbers for the quarter. Intel, once a leading global chipmaker, has fallen behind its rivals in both its own products and its attempt to manufacture chips for outside customers. 'This is a multiquarter — realistically, probably multiyear — kind of complete turnaround story before all the benefits start to show up,' TECHnalysis Research president and chief analyst Bob O'Donnell told Yahoo Finance following the report. Boston Beer Company says strong profits helped brewer absorb tariff costs The Boston Beer Company (SAM) reported earnings and revenue that topped analyst expectations on Thursday, and the Samuel Adams brewer maintained its earnings outlook for the year. Profits were $5.45 per share on revenue of $625 million, versus estimates for earnings of $4.00 per share on $588 million, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. SAM stock popped 6% on Friday, as the company also said it expects to see lower tariff costs than previously expected. For the full year, Boston Beer expects tariffs to weigh on costs by about $15 million to $20 million, instead of the $20 million to $30 million it previously modeled. "Right now, I think we're very happy with the performance," Boston Beer CEO Michael Spillane said on the earnings call. "Not only that, but that's allowed us to offset some of the tariffs that we've seen so far." Boeing (BA) reported second quarter earnings on Tuesday that topped expectations — and stemmed the tide of cash burn that's plagued Boeing since early last year as CEO Kelly Ortberg continues his turnaround of the beleaguered jet maker.

Intel's revenue of $12.8 billion beat analyst expectations of $11.8 billion, per Bloomberg data, and the chipmaker issued an upbeat Q3 revenue forecast of between $12.6 billion and $13.6 billion. But the company continues to face challenges as it attempts to transform into a chipmaker as well as a chip designer. As Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton noted in our markets blog, investors focused on Intel's manufacturing roadmap instead of its headline numbers for the quarter. Intel, once a leading global chipmaker, has fallen behind its rivals in both its own products and its attempt to manufacture chips for outside customers. 'This is a multiquarter — realistically, probably multiyear — kind of complete turnaround story before all the benefits start to show up,' TECHnalysis Research president and chief analyst Bob O'Donnell told Yahoo Finance following the report.

Boeing Q2 results beat expectations as plane maker slashes costs
Boeing (BA) reported second quarter earnings on Tuesday that topped expectations and stemmed the tide of cash burn that has plagued the company since early last year as CEO Kelly Ortberg continues his turnaround of the beleaguered jet maker. Boeing reported revenue of $22.7 billion vs. $21.68 billion analysts had forecast, according to Bloomberg data, and a 35% jump compared to a year ago. Last year, the company was mired in a production slowdown stemming from the door plug blowout of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max jet. The company posted an adjusted loss per share of $1.24, less than the $1.40 forecast, while its operating loss came in at $176 million, deeper than the expected $161.1 million. Most importantly, Boeing's cash burn was cut to $200 million during the quarter, a massive improvement from the $2.3 billion cash burn seen last quarter and the $4.3 billion it went through in the same quarter last year. "With the start of the second half of the year, we are moving in the right direction and ahead of where I thought we would be in our recovery," CEO Kelly Ortberg said in a memo to employees. "If we continue to tackle the important work ahead of us and focus on safety, quality, and stability, we can navigate the dynamic global environment and make 2025 our turnaround year." Boeing stock was up over 2% in early trade. Read more: Live coverage of corporate earnings Boeing, once the world's largest plane maker, is in the process of turning its business around following a disastrous 2024, which began with the aforementioned door plug blowout in January. Issues with its supplier Spirit AeroSystems (SPR) and various whistleblower complaints stemming from both production of the 737 Max jet and widebody 787 Dreamliner eventually cost then-CEO Dave Calhoun his job, with Kelly Ortberg named the new CEO in late July and starting on Aug. 8. Ortberg began his turnaround plan deliberately, slowing production of Boeing's jets to hammer out production issues and slowly boosting production in close conjunction with FAA regulators. Earlier this month, Boeing announced that commercial deliveries hit 150 jets vs. 130 delivered in the first quarter and 92 delivered in the year-ago quarter. Of Q2 deliveries, 102 were 737 Max jets (compared to 69 delivered a year ago), 24 were 787s (nine last year), 13 were 777s (seven last year), and nine were 767s (six last year). As for cranking up its 737 Max production, Ortberg said in late May that Boeing's goal was to reach a rate of 42 per month by midyear and to be in a position at the end of the year to review readiness for a rate of 47 per month. Boeing said 737 production hit 38 planes per month in Q2. "Boeing continues to show great progress, but the ramp-up may be more gradual than our prior view," William Blair analyst Louie DiPalma wrote shortly after Ortberg's comments. "Our earlier note indicated that a 47 monthly production rate was possible by the end of 2025. Our new view is that the 47 aircraft per month target is more likely in mid-2026." Boeing faced another crisis in June when an Air India 787 Dreamliner crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad Airport. Initial reports, however, suggest pilot error may have caused the crash, with the engine fuel control switches moved to the "cut-off" position. Investigators are still trying to determine why that was the case. President Trump's announcement of a trade deal with the EU is seen as a positive for both the autos and aviation sectors, as there was an expectation that the EU would have retaliated with punitive tariffs on aviation products and parts coming from the US.
