Key Boeing Milestones
In the wake of the financial crisis, between 2010 and 2018, Boeing increased its operating cash flow from $3 to a whopping $15.3 billion. The increase sustained its share price by negotiating advance payments from customers and delaying payments to its suppliers.
In 2011, Boeing won a $32 billion contract from the Department of Defense to produce 179 KC-46 tankers. This was Boeing’s single highest military contract.
In May 2020, as the company was going through losses from the coronavirus pandemic, Boeing raised $25 billion in a multi-tranche bond offering. After raising $25 billion, Boing ruled out seeking government support.
