BUZZ-Street View: Boeing still faces 737 production challenge

Reuters04-25

** Boeing on Wednesday reported its first quarterly revenue drop in seven quarters, but the U.S. planemaker beat analyst expectations that were lowered after a mid-air blowout of a door plug in January prompted it to slow production of its strongest-selling jets

** The median PT of 31 brokerages is $230

"LOT OF WORK REMAINING"

** Morgan Stanley ("equal-weight," PT: $180) says, "co has a lot of work remaining to get the 737 programs in a good place and not much time to complete the work"

** Sees near-term headwinds from regulatory pressure from the FAA and an upcoming labor agreement expiration in September'24

** RBC Capital Markets ("outperform," PT: $215) believes the slowdown in MAX 737 production will address lingering issues of production quality and ramp over the past several years

** Goldman Sachs ("buy," PT: $243) says Boeing is under-delivering even as demand remains very strong

** However, J.P.Morgan ("overweight," PT: $210) expects Boeing to emerge from the 737 MAX crisis and improve cash generation in 2024

** Brokerage expects around 70 deliveries in Q2 2024, up slightly from Q1 and then improvement in the second half of the year to reach nearly 350 for the full year
