Boeing narrows Q3 losses in latest chapter of turnaround plan

Boeing reported Q3 revenue of $24.2B and a wider-than-expected loss per share of $0.34, but operating cash flow of $1.5B exceeded expectations. CEO Kelly Orberg highlighted progress in turning around the company, though challenges remain, including delays in the 777-9 jet. Defense spending has been a positive factor, but the commercial business continues to struggle, with the stock down 13% year-to-date.
