Key Headlines Impacting Boeing

Here are the key news stories impacting Boeing this week:

• Negative Sentiment: Boeing and the union representing roughly 17,000 engineers and technical workers will resume contract negotiations on September 8.

• Negative Sentiment: The latest quarterly results showed improving revenue but continued earnings pressure: sales rose 8% to $24.56 billion, while Boeing reported a $0.76-per-share loss that missed the $0.34 consensus loss estimate.
