Boeing and FAA hold final meeting to clear 737 Max 10 for certification

The company's P/S ratio is 1.63, below its historical median, reflecting market skepticism. Insiders have sold more shares than bought.

The FAA completed its final review of Boeing's 737 MAX 10, paving the way for certification. This follows years of delays due to safety concerns and production issues. The MAX 10 is Boeing's largest MAX variant, with orders from United Airlines, Delta, and others. Certification is expected soon, allowing Boeing to compete with Airbus's A321neo.

Boeing's 737 MAX 10 is nearing FAA certification, with the Type Certification Board meeting and a formal signature expected soon. The aircraft is the largest in the MAX family, competing with Airbus's A321neo. Delays were caused by regulatory changes, production issues, and a recent software fault. Major customers include United Airlines, Ryanair, and Alaska Airlines. Certification would allow deliveries to begin in 2027, crucial for Boeing's financial recovery.

The FAA is close to certifying Boeing's 737 MAX 10, with approval possible by October 23. The MAX 10 is the largest variant of the 737 MAX family, with 1,533 firm orders. Certification was delayed due to regulatory changes, production issues, and a recent software fault. Approval would allow Boeing to begin deliveries in 2027 and collect cash tied to those orders.

The FAA is expected to approve Boeing's 737 MAX 10 model on October 16, 2026, clearing a key regulatory hurdle. This could unlock revenue from 1,500 orders, about 30% of Boeing's backlog. Boeing's P/S ratio is 1.63, below its historical median, reflecting market skepticism. The company's GF Score is 69, indicating mixed financial health. Insiders have been net sellers, while guru investors show mixed activity.

Israel signed an agreement with the Pentagon to purchase 12 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters from Boeing, with deliveries expected in the early 2030s. The deal, tailored to Israel's defense needs, follows a U.S. State Department approval for up to 30 helicopters. The AH-64E, the latest version, features advanced capabilities like drone control and updated avionics. Israel already operates older Apache models, which it uses for ground strikes and drone interception.
