Boeing shares fell 1.26% to $230.31 on Wednesday even as the broader market advanced, with investors digesting the company’s latest monthly commercial aircraft figures and its agreement with Archer Aviation. Boeing and Archer signed deals on Monday for Archer to acquire Wisk Aero, SkyGrid and Insitu in an all-stock transaction that Archer said could significantly change its profile, helped by Insitu’s more than $200 million in annual revenue and expected positive free cash flow. Separately, Boeing delivered 53 jets in July, up five from a year earlier, booked 38 gross orders and logged eight cancellations, bringing year-to-date gross orders to 483 and net orders to 438. The company ended July with 6,791 unfilled commercial aircraft orders, while its reported backlog under ASC 606 (revenue-recognition accounting standard) stood at 6,192 aircraft, slightly below 6,202 at the end of June. Despite the day’s decline, Boeing remains above its 20-day, 50-day, 100-day and 200-day simple moving averages, after forming a golden cross (bullish moving-average signal) in June. Analysts remain constructive, with a Buy consensus and an average price target of $273.13.
