What's Going On With Boeing Stock?
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) stock is trading higher after Akasa Air announced an order for 150 Boeing 737 MAX planes. This order comes despite a recent mid-air incident involving a 737 MAX 9, which led to the FAA grounding 171 jets. The order was announced at the 'Wings India' air show and excludes the 737 Max 9 version. Akasa Air is set to receive 204 planes over eight years. Boeing is implementing additional quality inspections and has sent a team to oversee work at Spirit AeroSystems.
