International Business: Boeing to miss production target

Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg announced the company will miss its 737 production target of 47 jets per month until next year, pushing back the initial timeline. The delay is attributed to slow wing production, impacting cash flow. Shares dropped 2.5% premarket. Boeing reported a Q3 adjusted loss of $0.34 per share, worse than expected. Recent wins include 737 MAX 7 certification and a Navy fighter contract.
