Boeing reported a fourth-quarter free cash flow of $375 million, surpassing expectations, with commercial airplane revenue reaching $11.4 billion due to increased 737 deliveries. The company also saw a significant rise in its defense division revenue, totaling $7.4 billion, and its total backlog grew to $682 billion, bolstered by 336 net orders. Despite these gains, Boeing continues to face challenges related to certification and labor negotiations as it works to recover from previous operational issues.
