On September 30, Boeing rose 3.23% in after-hours trading to $193.20/share, with turnover of approximately $72.62 million, extending gains after a volatile regular session.
The after-hours rally was triggered by the announcement that the United States has selected Boeing to manufacture the next-generation fighter jet, marking a significant defense contract win that reinforces the company's position in the military aviation segment. The award bolsters Boeing's Defense, Space & Security division, which has been a critical revenue pillar alongside its commercial aircraft business.
During the regular session, Boeing had already rebounded approximately 3.1% from a steep 6.9% selloff the prior day, when the FAA suspended 737 MAX 10 certification over a GE Aerospace-supplied software glitch affecting auto-flight guidance during go-around scenarios. Sentiment improved after Ryanair's CEO indicated the certification delay would likely be measured in days rather than weeks or months. Additionally, NASA announced a $359 million funding commitment to upgrade Boeing's Starliner spacecraft, with an earliest return to the International Space Station targeted for December on cargo missions, reducing the risk that Boeing's multi-year investment in the program would be written off.
