Boeing shares drop as CEO admits 737 MAX ramp delays; analyst still forecasts 55% gains in a year.

Boeing's shares fell after CEO Kelly Ortberg revealed that stabilizing 737 MAX production is taking longer than expected, causing a recent 2.43% drop and an 11.66% decline over the past month. Despite these setbacks and a challenging 2026 with losses and program charges, analyst Ivan Feinseth of Tigress Financial maintains a bullish outlook with a $305 price target, implying 55% upside within a year. The optimism is based on Boeing's massive commercial backlog, expected free cash flow improvements, and strong defense demand. Investors are watching 2027 catalysts like the 737-7 and 737-10 certifications and the first 777X delivery for signs of a turnaround.

Boeing's recent production challenges and analyst optimism come as the stock trades modestly higher on Pluang. As of Sep 18, 2026 18:51 WIB, Boeing shares are priced at USD 197.45, showing a slight 0.23% gain for the day. Despite the recent volatility, the stock remains well below its 52-week high of USD 252.15, with a market cap of $155.70 billion and a typical hold time of 83 days on the platform.
