PRESIDENT & CEO
Kelly Ortberg
Appointed Aug 2024 · ex-Rockwell Collins CEO
STRATENITY READ — Boeing is a $695B-backlog industrial in active recovery, no longer a company in terminal decline. Kelly Ortberg's engineering-first turnaround has stabilized 737 MAX production at 42 per month, completed the strategic Spirit AeroSystems re-acquisition (Dec 2025, $8.3B), and put Boeing back in net-order leadership for the first time since 2018. The work is half done. The cash flow inflection, and the client engagement window, is 2026.

02 Build Back, 4 Pillars
1
Engineering Rigour Restored
CEO on the factory floor in Seattle. Safety and quality over schedule. Reversal of two decades of financial engineering.
2
Vertical Re-integration
Spirit AeroSystems re-acquired Dec 2025 ($8.3B incl. debt). Reverses catastrophic 2005 spinoff. 18,000+ employees back in.
3
Production Ramp Discipline
737 MAX 42→47 per month summer '26, then 52. 787 stable at 8. FAA-paced, not pressure-paced.
4
Culture Reset
First voice-of-employee survey in 5 years. New One Company Score replaces siloed metrics. 93% of CEO comp variable.

03 Market Signals
▸ Cash Flow Inflection in 2026, First Positive Year
Boeing guides $1–3B FCF for FY26 vs years of deep negative. Q1 still negative ($1.5B), but path to positive is the operational thesis.
▸ 737 MAX 7 / MAX 10 Certification, Critical 2026 Derisking
Both targeted for 2026 cert with 2027 first delivery. Years late derivatives. Removal of certification overhang is the biggest single 2026 unlock.
▸ Spirit Re-integration, $8.3B Operational Bet
Closed Dec 2025. Boeing now owns the supply chain that broke in 2024. Integration execution is the multi-year proof point.
▸ China + COMAC, Geopolitical and Competitive Vector
C919 ramping for domestic market. Tariff and trade-risk exposure persists. China was once 25% of Boeing demand, now structurally constrained.
▸ Defense Margin Pressure, Fixed-Price Legacy
KC-46, T-7, Starliner all on fixed-price contracts that have bled billions. Defense rev +21% in Q1, but margin recovery is the harder problem.

04 Gap Analysis
G1
737 MAX 7 / MAX 10 Cert
Both years late. 2026 cert window is mission-critical for 2027 deliveries and customer commitments. Slippage equals backlog risk.
G2
Spirit Reintegration Risk
$8.3B re-acquisition is the largest M&A integration in industrial aerospace this decade. Execution risk is multi-year.
G3
777X Certification Drag
Long-delayed widebody. Engine durability and change incorporation issues. First delivery still uncertain.
G4
$54B Total Debt Load
Constrains optionality through 2027. Forces cash discipline that limits R&D and M&A appetite.
G5
Defense Fixed-Price Bleed
KC-46, T-7, MQ-25, Starliner. Multi-billion forward losses. Margin recovery harder than topline recovery.
G6
China Geopolitical Exposure
COMAC C919 ramping. Tariff regime uncertain. Once-25%-of-demand market structurally constrained.
G7
Culture Sustainment Risk
Engineering-first reset is fragile. Production ramp pressure in 2026 will test whether the culture change is real or veneer.
