It might be the buyers knew the quarterly results reporting date was coming up, surmised that it would be bad, and could be using the bad results to further enhance their negotiating position as we type.
Agreed. Perhaps buyers know that this is not the “bottom”. Perhaps Boeing know they can weather the storm a bit, and are not selling thinking they can reopen for 737 business in a soon to be better climate. Lots of possibilities.
Bottom line though, 737 WILL be fixed, and Boeing will have to take a big hit.
