US Exim Bank announced intent to provide preliminary financing this summer for Vietnam Airlines. The financing supports the planned purchase of 50 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

Both parties target a final commitment by mid-2026. The deal underscores continued demand for Boeing's narrow-body jet.

Air Astana officially confirmed its order for five 787 Dreamliners following a shareholder meeting. This boosts Boeing's wide-body jet backlog.

Jefferies maintained its 'Buy' rating on Boeing stock. The firm also increased its price target.
