India's Akasa Air is in preliminary talks to order more than 200 Boeing 737 MAX jets as it plans fleet expansion beyond 2032, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. Akasa already has 183 unfilled 737 MAX orders, and a decision on the potential purchase could come in early 2027, with final terms possible later that year. The deal would be worth billions of dollars before customary discounts but may not be completed. Boeing shares rose 0.86% to $198.49 Friday as industrial stocks outperformed the broader market, although the stock remained below key moving averages. Its MACD was below its signal line, and a death cross formed in September. Analysts hold a Buy consensus, with an average price target of $272 from 12 analysts.
