Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) shares are trading lower Monday after Benchmark lowered its price target on the stock <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44896693/boeing-secures-new-stocks-of-crucial-nuts-and-bolts-used-in-737-max-production-amid-chinas-import-ban-report">from $250 to $215.</a>
What To Know: The firm still maintains a Buy rating, but the reduction reflects growing concern over Boeing's ongoing production issues and a challenging operating environment.
According to Benchmark's first-quarter 2025 preview, Boeing is facing multiple short-term disruptions, including persistent supply chain problems, regulatory uncertainties and tariff-related complexity. A fire at a major fastener supplier and issues with GE engines have only worsened delays, making it difficult for the company to meet delivery expectations.
The report emphasizes that Boeing is still producing below long-term demand levels, suggesting the real issue isn't demand but rather the company's inability to ramp up supply. Analysts highlighted that while the long-term fundamentals remain intact — especially the duopoly with Airbus — the path to recovery is taking longer than previously expected. Ongoing complications, such as FAA hurdles and internal production setbacks, continue to weigh on investor sentiment.
Despite the challenges, Benchmark remains positive on Boeing&#8217;s long-term free cash flow trajectory, though it now sees slower momentum in the near term. The firm lowered its price target accordingly to reflect the new timeline for improvement, cutting it by $35. 
BA Price Action: Boeing shares were down 1.58% at $159.34 at the time of publication Monday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

What the Options Market Tells Us About Boeing

<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-21/air-india-keen-to-take-boeing-planes-refused-by-chinese-airlines">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-21/air-india-keen-to-take-boeing-planes-refused-by-chinese-airlines</a>

General

'Air India Keen To Take Boeing Planes Refused By Chinese Airlines'- Bloomberg

Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) has reportedly secured new stocks of crucial fasteners that hold the 737 Max aircraft together, helping the company continue production of the aircraft.
What Happened: The aircraft manufacturer was running low on its reserves of specialized nuts and bolts used to attach the landing gear of the 737 Max, Boeing&#8217;s top-selling aircraft. However, the company has replenished its supply in recent weeks, Reuters reported on Monday.
The report cites two sources familiar with the matter, who say that the company has secured the stocks but has had to procure them at a higher cost. Dwindling fastener stocks could've halted the aircraft's production, the report suggested.
The company is taking steps to address the fastener shortages, a spokesperson for Boeing cited in the report shared. "We don't expect a near-term impact to commercial production," they said.
Why It Matters: Boeing has been dealing with issues in its supply chain recently, with a fire at a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43865891/elon-musks-involvement-key-to-solving-boeings-air-force-one-delivery-crisis-report">crucial supplier's factory</a> in Pennsylvania impacting Boeing's production efforts.
The ongoing U.S.-China trade war has also impacted the company, with the Xi Jinping-led CCP halting imports of all Boeing aircraft into the country. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888512/boeing-jet-returns-to-us-amid-escalating-tariff-tensions-with-china">Boeing's jets are returning</a> to the U.S. as a result.
Elsewhere, Boeing's troubles keep piling up after it received a proposal from the FAA for an airworthiness report after the agency reviewed a report of a passenger getting stuck in the onboard lavatory aboard a Boeing aircraft due to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811150/faulty-bathroom-latches-could-cost-boeing-34-million-following-faa-directive">faulty bathroom latch</a>.
However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44849284/boeing-goldman-sees-minimal-impact-from-china-delivery-freeze-points-to-strong-asia-demand">investment bank Goldman Sachs </a>has maintained optimism for Boeing, with analyst Noah Poponak maintaining a ‘buy' rating on Boeing stock, citing demand for products in Asia.
Price Action: BA is currently trading for $161.90, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Boeing Secures New Stocks Of Crucial Nuts And Bolts Used In 737 Max Production Amid China's Import Ban: Report

A&nbsp;Boeing Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft, originally intended for delivery to China, was redirected back&nbsp;to the U.S. on&nbsp;Friday. This incident underscores the intensifying tariff dispute between Beijing and Washington.
What Happened: The jet, one of several awaiting final preparations at Boeing&#8217;s Zhoushan facility, was flown back to the U.S. without delivery. This move follows the imposition of tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump on April 2, which has disrupted the longstanding duty-free status of the aerospace industry.
According to Reuters, the aircraft, initially slated for Xiamen Airlines, was seen returning to Seattle via Guam.
The decision comes amid reports of a potential Chinese ban on Boeing imports, although no official statement has been made by Beijing.

Industry insiders have indicated that Boeing and its suppliers are preparing for a&nbsp;halt in deliveries to China, according to the report.
Despite discussions about storing undelivered jets in bonded facilities to avoid tariffs, the aircraft was repatriated.
The Air Current first reported the withdrawal of&nbsp;some undelivered jets from Zhoushan,&nbsp;noting that a Chinese airline had also backed out of leasing a Boeing plane.
Why It Matters: The decision to redirect the Boeing jet back to the U.S. is a direct consequence of the escalating trade tensions between the two economic giants.
The Trump administration recently announced tariffs <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">of up to 245%</a> on Chinese imports, a move that has intensified the trade battle between the nations. This has led to retaliatory measures from China, including a potential ban on Boeing aircraft, which could significantly impact the aerospace industry.
China&#8217;s decision to halt Boeing purchases could also have repercussions for its own aircraft manufacturer,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44883727/chinas-boeing-ban-could-backfire-on-its-own-aircraft-manufacturer-comac">Comac</a>, which relies heavily on U.S. technology. The move could hinder Comac&#8217;s efforts to become globally competitive, as highlighted in a report by the Wall Street Journal.
Analysts, including those <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44837703/chinas-ban-on-boeing-could-be-short-lived-but-trump-administration-cant-ignore-trade-fallout-warns-analyst">from</a>&nbsp;Bank of America, have warned that while the ban on Boeing could be temporary, the Trump administration cannot overlook the broader trade implications.

Boeing Jet Returns To US Amid Escalating Tariff Tensions With China

<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-18/boeing-begins-flying-back-planes-destined-for-chinese-airlines">https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-18/boeing-begins-flying-back-planes-destined-for-chinese-airlines</a>

'Boeing Begins Flying Back Planes Destined For Chinese Airlines'- Bloomberg

China's recent move to pause Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft purchases may end up hurting its own jet maker, Comac, which depends heavily on U.S. technology and has only a small number of planes currently in service
What Happened: The Chinese government&#8217;s move to stop buying Boeing aircraft could potentially harm Comac, a Shanghai-based aircraft manufacturer that is still striving to become globally competitive, according <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/china/how-chinas-boeing-ban-threatens-to-backfire-on-its-own-plane-maker-6c9e6cc1?mod=hp_lead_pos11">to</a> a report by the Wall Street Journal.
The escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China, coupled with high tariffs, could have significant implications for the aviation sector of both economies.
Chinese airlines have been instructed to withhold new orders for Boeing aircraft and seek approval before accepting delivery of plane orders.
However, Comac&#8217;s slow production rate means it is not in a position to quickly fill these orders. This situation could inadvertently benefit Airbus, another major player in the aviation industry.

By involving aircraft in the trade war with the U.S., China is unintentionally exposing a vulnerability, emphasizing the U.S.&#8217;s influence over Comac.
The company&#8217;s leading commercial aircraft model, the C919, is airworthy due to critical technology from U.S. companies including GE Aerospace, Honeywell International, and RTX.
Despite China&#8217;s efforts to promote the C919 as a competitor&nbsp;to the Boeing 737 MAX&nbsp;and Airbus A320neo, only about 16 C919s are currently flying commercially, all of which are operating domestically in China.
Why It Matters: The ongoing tariff dispute between the U.S. and China has seen the Trump administration raise tariffs on Chinese <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44831287/trump-administration-imposes-up-to-245-tariff-on-chinese-imports-amid-intensifying-trade-battle">imports by up to 245%</a>.
This has led to China&#8217;s ban on deliveries from Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), drawing the attention of President Donald Trump towards the company&#8217;s significant role in <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44837703/chinas-ban-on-boeing-could-be-short-lived-but-trump-administration-cant-ignore-trade-fallout-warns-analyst">China's retaliation strategy</a>, as highlighted by Bank of America (BofA).
On his part, President Trump has called upon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44832771/the-ball-is-in-chinas-court-trump-says-as-white-house-awaits-beijings-call-china-needs-to-make-a-deal-with-us">China to initiate negotiations</a>.

China's Boeing Ban Could Backfire On Its Own Aircraft Manufacturer, Comac

When the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/volatility">market goes haywire</a>, it helps to have a compass. 
This week, Stephanie Link, Chief Investment Strategist at Hightower Advisors, is pointing investors toward five names she believes are poised for a rebound.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia: The King Looks Tempting Again</h3>
Link doesn't own Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) — yet. But for the first time, she's circling. The AI juggernaut is trading at just 20x forward earnings, below its historical trough of 23–25x, after numbers have been revised down.
"If you've got a long-term view, this is your moment," says Link, who acknowledges she's been riding with Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) instead. 
But with Nvidia off its highs and still the undisputed leader in AI chips, she says the dust will settle and investors will flock back to the winners.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Meta: 3.3 Billion Users Can't Be Wrong</h3>
Link just bought Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) for the first time in years. The stock is down 28%, yet Meta's still cranking out 20% revenue growth and 40% operating margins.
"That's too cheap to ignore," says Link, who's betting that Wall Street's short-term memory will soon rediscover the power of 3.3 billion monthly users and a cash-rich business model.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Intuitive Surgical: Market Leader With Tailwinds</h3>
Down 20% from its highs, Intuitive Surgical Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>) is still cutting-edge. 
With a 30% market share in robotic surgeries and only 2.4 million of 200 million global procedures under its belt last year, Link sees years of growth ahead.
"It's not a stock for the impatient," she admits. "But it's the clear category leader with a long runway."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing: China Needs Planes, Not Headlines</h3>
Link doesn't have time for turbulence in airline stocks. As for Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), that's a different story. Despite headlines and supply chain snafus, she thinks the worst may be over — and with China's aging fleet needing an upgrade, demand is a given.
"This isn't a demand problem. It's an execution problem — and now they've got a CEO who knows how to execute."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bank of America: Time To Catch Up</h3>
Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) has lagged its peers by 10 percentage points this year. That's Link's cue. She liked the bank's recent quarter, especially fee growth, efficiency, and management's confidence in reiterating net interest income guidance.
"When the whole sector looked shaky, Bank of America helped calm the waters," she says and she's buying into that stability.
Link isn't chasing the rally. Whether it's tech titans with trimmed valuations or category leaders with long-term tailwinds, each of her picks has one thing in common: durability. 
In a market still finding its footing, she's betting that quality will win and that patient investors will be glad they followed the signal, not the noise.

Nvidia, Meta And 3 More Stocks Are This Strategist's Top Buys: Here's Why

Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>) announced on Thursday that it has named Evan Scott its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44862734/lockheed-martin-announces-chief-financial-officer-transition" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CFO, effective immediately</a>.
Scott succeeds Jesus &#8220;Jay&#8221; Malave, who advised the company that he was pursuing other opportunities.
Scott, a 26-year Lockheed Martin finance executive, has served as the company&#8217;s Treasurer and the CFO of two business areas.

The company will hold its first quarter 2025 earnings results webcast on&nbsp;April 22.&nbsp;
James Taiclet&nbsp;and&nbsp;Maria Ricciardone, vice president, Treasurer, and Investor Relations, will reaffirm the company&#8217;s previously issued 2025 guidance, exclusive of the evolving impacts of tariffs and the recent Next Generation Air Dominance announcement. They will also provide updates on other key topics and answer questions.
Lockheed Martin <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43271143/lockheed-martin-q4-earnings-sales-miss-margin-squeeze-but-backlog-boosts-2025-prospects" rel="noreferrer noopener">expects fiscal 2025</a> net sales of $73.75 billion-$74.75 billion versus the consensus of $74.28 billion. It projects EPS for the fiscal of ~$27-$27.30&nbsp;versus the consensus of $27.24.
In March, BofA Securities analyst&nbsp;Ronald J. Epstein&nbsp;downgraded Lockheed Martin <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/03/44462549/lockheed-martin-stock-dips-as-bofa-analyst-lowers-eps-estimates-forecast-after-air-force-contract-setback" rel="noreferrer noopener">from Buy to Neutral</a> and cut its&nbsp;price forecast from $685 to $485. The White House and U.S. Air Force (USAF) selected Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) over the company as the winner of the $20 billion contract for the Next&nbsp;Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) program, replacing&nbsp;Lockheed Martin&#8217;s F-22 Raptor.&nbsp;While defense budgets will likely increase, concerns remain regarding Lockheed Martin&#8217;s recent earnings quality, the loss of all six next-generation manned tactical aircraft programs, and the absence of near-term company-specific catalysts, adds the analyst.
LMT&nbsp;Price Action: Lockheed Martin shares are down 4.83% at $454.89 at last check Thursday.

Lockheed Martin Confirms New CFO, Evan Scott Takes Over For Jesus 'Jay' Malave

Elon Musk's SpaceX and Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) could play a crucial role in building U.S. President Donald Trump's Golden Dome missile defense system.
What Happened: In a report published by Reuters on Thursday, the news agency cites six people who are familiar with the matter saying the bid by Musk's SpaceX, Palantir, as well as drone manufacturing startup Anduril, emerged as ‘frontrunners' for the project.
However, the report also suggests that despite the ‘positive signals' to SpaceX, the decision process was still at a nascent stage. The companies met with officials in the Trump administration in the past few weeks to discuss the bid.
In the meetings, the companies have shared their plans for building anywhere between 400 to 1000 satellites, which will track global missile movements. There would also be a separate fleet of 200 ‘attack' satellites, the report said.
Sources cited in the report also suggest that SpaceX has offered its role in the operations as a subscription service, rather than the government owning the technology outright, though officials remain skeptical about the same.
According to the report, SpaceX is eyeing the ‘custody layer' of the operation, which involves satellites tracking missiles. Sources say SpaceX suggests it could cost anywhere between $6 billion to $10 billion to develop these satellites.
Musk's team isn't the only party involved, as there are many players eyeing up the contract. Officials in the report suggest the Pentagon has received interest from over 180 companies. The likes of Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), RTX Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), and more are also expected to be a part of the process. Some experts anticipate that the system could cost hundreds of billions of dollars. 
Why It Matters: The news comes in as Palantir has experienced a surge in value after the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44792590/palantir-stock-jumps-9-after-nato-adopts-ai-system-for-military-ops">successfully closed a deal</a> with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for its AI-driven software, which finds applications in key military operations.
Elsewhere, Musk's SpaceX continues to lead the private space exploration sector after it completed the Falcon 9 rocket's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/04/44806935/spacex-launches-27th-falcon-9-rocket-from-florida-adds-27-starlink-satellites-to-orbit">27th launch and landing </a>operation from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Musk&#8217;s company has received <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44655959/elon-musks-spacex-jeff-bezos-blue-origin-and-boeing-lockheeds-ula-bag-13-5-billion-pentagon-launch-contracts">over $5.9 billion worth</a> of contracts from the U.S. Space Force
The company also deployed 27 additional Starlink satellites to its constellation, bringing the total number of low Earth orbit satellites to well over 7,000. Starlink is now available in over 100 countries across the globe.
However, Musk's DOGE finds itself amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44859945/whistleblower-alleges-doge-involved-in-major-cybersecurity-breach-at-us-labor-agency">a new controversy </a>as a whistleblower alleges that the department was given wide-ranging access to the sensitive data of the U.S. government's National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
Price Action: PLTR is currently trading for $92.71 on the NASDAQ, having experienced a 23.30% YTD increase in value, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

SpaceX, Palantir 'Frontrunners' In Bid To Build Donald Trump's Golden Dome: Report

Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak retained a Buy rating on Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $213</a>.
The analyst noted that Chinese airlines were instructed to halt further Boeing jet deliveries amid ongoing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44833169/us-stock-futures-tumble-after-trump-imposes-245-tariff-on-china-valuations-are-now-looking-more-compelling-says-expert" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">U.S.–China trade tensions</a>.
Poponak expects it to have minimal impact on Boeing, as China has largely ceased taking deliveries and placing orders since the Trump administration.
Notably, since January 2018, Chinese customers have ordered only 28 aircraft (excluding unidentified buyers), and China currently represents just 2% of Boeing's large, sold-out backlog through 2030, adds the analyst.

He noted that as of December 31, 2024, Boeing had approximately 40 737 MAX 8 aircraft in inventory designated for Chinese customers. The analyst estimates that around 15 of these have been delivered in 2025, leaving roughly 25 still in inventory.
Poponak believes Boeing could likely redirect these jets to other carriers in Asia, particularly to fast-growing markets like India, which continue to show strong demand for narrowbody aircraft.
The analyst says Boeing previously indicated that it can sustain a multi-year delivery schedule without Chinese orders, thanks to substantial growth and replacement needs from other regions.
