By

(Updated to include Morgan Stanley's commentary)

Morgan Stanley raised its price target on Boeing (BA) to $250 from $245 following the jet maker's better-than-expected Q1 results, with management guiding to positive free cash flow in the second half of the year.

The brokerage highlighted the company's progress in Commercial Airplanes, with positive news on production for the 737 and 787. It sees a positive operational trajectory, but think these impacts are largely priced in and, therefore, maintained its Equal Weight rating.

Boeing has an average rating of overweight and mean price target of $267.68, according to analysts polled by FactSet.

Price: $233.59, Change: $+2.31, Percent Change: +1.00%
