what happened
Bloomberg reported on Friday, as relayed by Seeking Alpha, that Boeing handed over around 32 of its 737 MAX aircraft in October. That is the weakest month since last November and a clear drop from 43 in September. The figures come from Cirium data and an analyst note by Sheila Kahyaoglu at Jefferies.
Deliveries usually climb in the final quarter as manufacturers push to hit annual targets. Boeing also indicated that ramping up 737 MAX output will take longer than expected, so it will not reach its earlier goal of 500 commercial aircraft in 2026.
why it matters
Slower deliveries weigh on the planemaker's cash flow at a time when it is working to strengthen its finances. For investors, the signal is that the production recovery is running behind schedule.
