Boeing's Reaffirmed 2026 Cash Outlook Puts Focus on H2 Recovery, Jefferies Says

By

Boeing's (BA) reaffirmed 2026 free-cash-flow target suggests the company will need a sizable H2 cash recovery after a VC-25 charge and H1 outflows, Jefferies said Tuesday in a report.

Boeing's Q2 cash performance was well ahead of expectations, helped by working-capital inflows, even as the company prepares for a Department of Justice payment tied to the 737 MAX agreement, higher capital spending, and the timing effects of the 777X charge booked in the quarter, Jefferies said.

Boeing still expects certification of the MAX-7 and MAX-10 in 2026 with first deliveries in 2027, and that the 777X remains slated for first delivery in 2027 following recent regulatory progress, the report said.

Jefferies maintained its buy rating on Boeing stock with a $295 price target.
