Boeing Company fell sharply over the week, a big move for the stock.
Its shares fell most on Tuesday after third-quarter results pushed its $10 billion free cash flow target out to 2029.
Investors also worried that 737 production stability would take into next year, and that turning its record backlog into cash is taking longer.
Over the same days the S&P 500 fell slightly, so Boeing fell more than the broader market and moved against its sector.

Boeing Company rose sharply, moving against the market.
The S&P 500 slipped slightly while Boeing gained, and the Industrials sector also rose clearly, so Boeing outpaced its sector.
The move came on heavy trading, well above its usual level, which points to strong interest from investors.
Company news from the last session is limited, so the rebound is best explained as a reaction to earlier weakness after the weak third-quarter report, which pushed back its free cash flow (cash left after running costs and investment) targets to 2027 and 2028.
Shares remain well below their highest close of the past year, reached in late January.

Boeing Company fell very sharply, without company news.
Boeing shares fell very sharply in the last session, while the S&P 500 rose clearly and the Industrials sector edged up, so the stock moved against both.
The main reason is the quarterly results, which came out after trading closed and showed a larger loss per share than analysts expected, plus a warning that it will miss its 737 jet delivery targets this year and production is ramping more slowly than hoped.
The session itself was very heavy, with trading volume about seven times normal.
Over the last five trading days the stock fell very sharply, while the broad market was roughly flat, a move about three times a normal five-day stretch for the stock.

Boeing Company fell slightly over the last five trading days, moving a bit more than the broader market.
The main news was the FAA certifying the 737 MAX 10, the largest MAX version, clearing it for deliveries, and that approval was widely covered.
Still, the stock slipped, likely because the broader market and aerospace peers were also weak, and investors are watching rising costs such as GE's comments on engine deliveries.
Next, the company reports earnings on Tuesday 27 October 2026, which investors will watch closely.

Boeing Company was roughly unchanged over the last five trading days, while the broader market fell clearly and the Industrials sector eased slightly, so the stock held up better than both.
The main company news was the likely upcoming approval of the 737 MAX 10, the largest model in the MAX line, after the FAA completed a key safety review; that kind of clearance can lift expectations for future deliveries and revenue.
Support also likely came from a large order from lessor Avolon for 140 737 MAX jets, which adds to Boeing's backlog of contracted aircraft, though that deal still needs shareholder approval at the lessor.
Some offsetting concern came from United and Southwest refusing new 737 MAX deliveries with software under review, which could delay planned deliveries.

Boeing Company rose sharply, clearly outpacing a market that edged up slightly and its sector, which also rose modestly.
The most likely reason is the news that Boeing averted a strike by its roughly 17,000 engineers and technical staff, which removes a labor risk that had weighed on the shares; analysts also noted that the stock had been stuck in a downtrend, so a rebound may partly reflect bargain-hunting.
Over the last five trading days, the stock was roughly unchanged, about in line with the market and sector in direction terms, so the sharp move is a one-session story rather than a shift in the week.
Next, the company reports third-quarter results on 27 October, which is the event most likely to move the stock next.
