Insight: Friday 5 February 2021: Filling the Gaps at Boeing – Part 1

News:

This week several important issues emerged with the announcement of a staggering $12 billion loss for Boeing. Today, we will cover the news and implications about the NMA, the New Middle of the Market Airplane.

Boeing’s stock rose on Wednesday amid rumors that the company may finally launch the NMA airplane to compete with the A321neo family that has been outselling the larger 737MAX variants by a 5:1 margin.
