Boeing on Wednesday reported mixed third-quarter results, with higher aircraft deliveries and a growing order backlog offset by certification delays for its 777X jet. CEO Kelly Ortberg says the first delivery of the widebody jet is now expected in 2027, resulting in a $4.9 billion charge. Boeing delivered 160 planes in the third quarter, the most since 2018. The company’s backlog of plane orders has grown to $636 billion. Meanwhile, a strike continues at three Midwest plants by 3,200 machinists who build military weapons and jets. Boeing’s stock price Wednesday fell 4.4%.
