Boeing Stock Soars on Record-Breaking F-15 Contract Amid Union Negotiations

Boeing's stock is gaining attention after reports that the US Air Force approved a framework contract worth up to $131.23 billion for the F-15 fighter fleet.

The agreement, announced on September 1, 2026, has an initial commitment of just $343,740 from the 2026 budget, but Boeing can place orders until August 24, 2031, with an option to extend to 2036.

Engineers union, the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, is set to resume contract negotiations with Boeing on September 8, 2026, after engineers and technical workers rejected a four-year offer last month.
