During his visit to China, President Trump announced that Beijing could purchase as many as 750 Boeing aircraft, a figure that would represent one of the largest aviation deals in history. Bloomberg confirmed an order was secured, but critical details — aircraft type, quantity, and delivery timeline — remain unverified. The announcement coincides with a separate legal blow: a jury awarded $49.5 million to the family of a 737 Max crash victim, the second such verdict tied to that disaster.
A confirmed deal of this scale would be a major revenue catalyst for Boeing, which has been navigating production constraints, regulatory scrutiny, and reputational damage from the 737 Max saga. Until specifics are disclosed, the announcement carries speculative weight — traders may bid up BA on the headline, but the legal overhang from Max litigation adds a real counterforce. Aerospace suppliers in Boeing's supply chain would also benefit if the deal materializes.
Boeing Q2 2025 earnings call (expected late July): management will likely address deal specifics and Max litigation costs. Ongoing US-China trade talks: any deterioration in relations could unwind the order before it is formalized. Watch for SEC filings or Boeing investor relations updates disclosing contract details.
