Even though the jet manufacturer’s fourth-quarter sales increased at a faster rate, Boeing stock fell 0.5% in lunchtime trade on Tuesday. 69 commercial airplanes were delivered by Boeing (NYSE:BA) last month, bringing the year’s total to 480, an increase of 41% from 340 in 2021.
In comparison to the fourth quarter of the previous year, when 95 aircraft were delivered, 152 aircraft were delivered by the aviation company. 53 of its 737 Max aircraft, one 737-800A, ten 787s of various types, three 777s, and three other aircraft made up the total in December. A 777 was delivered to China Southern Airlines.
Because deliveries are tied to free cash flow, they are an important metric for Boeing (BA). After fixing problems with manufacturing and safety, the company started sending out its best-selling 787 planes again in 2017.
