Philippine Airlines plans to add 20 widebody jets, splitting purchases equally between Boeing and Airbus, potentially boosting Boeing’s backlog. Boeing stock has climbed 8.6% over the past month, supported by recent defense wins, stronger liquidity and earnings growth despite its substantial debt burden.
Philippine Airlines has announced plans to acquire 20 new widebody jets, splitting the contract evenly between Boeing and Airbus. The Boeing portion will feature Dreamliner models, adding to delivery schedules through the late 2020s and strengthening Boeing’s commercial backlog.
Boeing shares have surged 8.6% since early June, reflecting investor confidence after the company secured multiple defense contract awards and reported accelerating earnings growth. Improved liquidity metrics have further supported the stock’s upward trend.
Despite enhanced cash reserves, Boeing carries a substantial debt load, which remains a key consideration for investors. The combination of fresh commercial orders and defense wins is expected to reinforce Boeing’s production pipeline and revenue visibility.
