Boeing wins USD 14.70 billion deal as Boeing stock falls 1.18 percent

Boeing (ISIN US0970231058) won a seven-year USD 14.70 billion PAC-3 MSE seeker contract on October 5, 2026, while its stock was trading at EUR 165.38 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026, down 1.18 percent versus the prior close of EUR 167.36. The award gives Boeing a new defense order alongside continuing certification work on the 737 MAX 10.
Three dated Boeing events
On September 23, 2026, Boeing announced an order for up to 150 737 MAX airplanes from Turkish Airlines, including 100 firm aircraft and 50 options. On October 2, 2026, Reuters reported that the FAA found no safety concern in the 737 MAX software issue, clearing a regulatory obstacle for the MAX 10.
On October 5, 2026, Boeing said Lockheed Martin awarded it the USD 14.70 billion contract to scale and deliver PAC-3 MSE seekers. The contract formalizes a seven-year framework and enables Boeing to triple seeker production.
What does the contract change?
The order expands Boeing's defense exposure beyond aircraft production. Its seekers identify, track and help intercept hostile aircraft, hypersonic weapons, ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, giving the company a production role in the Patriot air defense system.
The contract is undefinitized, so some terms remain subject to final agreement. Reuters reported on October 5, 2026 that industry executives warned Congress had not yet appropriated funding for the broader production agreements. That qualification matters because the headline contract value does not equal immediate recognized revenue.
Analyst target and next dates
