Boeing Stock Buoys as Bank of America Reaffirms Buy Rating and Starliner Talks Progress
Boeing stock closed at $198.20 on the NYSE on September 18, 2026, up 0.61% from the prior close.
This follows Bank of America's reaffirmation of its Buy rating and a price target of $270.00 for Boeing, which implies roughly 36.18% upside from the previous close.
The analyst maintained this target despite comments from CEO Kelly Ortberg that stabilizing 737 MAX production at 47 aircraft per month would take longer than expected.
In related news, Boeing is in negotiations with NASA to deploy its Starliner spacecraft on more than ten missions to low Earth orbit, which could revive the company's crewed spaceflight program after a two-year hiatus.
