Boeing stock (ISIN US0970231058) was trading at EUR 170.49 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 9:44 a.m. CEST, up 2.77 percent versus the prior close of EUR 165.90. The move followed Boeing's selection for the U.S. Navy's next-generation F/A-XX fighter program.

USD 20.0 billion fighter award

According to Reuters on September 29, 2026, the development contract is worth USD 20.0 billion and covers test aircraft for the Navy's sixth-generation fighter. First production F/A-XX jets are expected in the 2030s, giving Boeing a long-dated defense program alongside its Air Force F-47 award.

Boeing said on September 29, 2026, that the F/A-XX will replace the Navy's F/A-18 Super Hornets. The technical and programmatic details remain classified, so the contract value is the clearest near-term measure of the award's scale.
