While Boeing (NASDAQ: AMZN)'s monthly overview of orders, cancellations, deliveries, and other order changes doesn't always directly impact stock prices, it's important to track orders and deliveries because it provides the smallest block of information from which to evaluate the US jet maker's situation and spot trends early on.

01

Stock performance

Interestingly, along with positive news such as strong orders, deliveries, and the return of the Boeing 737 MAX in China, Boeing shares only achieved market performance in March. However, this is still better than the poor performance of 2023.

From the beginning of the year to now, we can see excellent performance driven by a number of positive factors, which are becoming more and more evident in current commercial aircraft performance and production growth plans.

EvoX data analysis

In March, the total number of Boeing orders was 60, a decrease of 60 aircraft over the previous month. Among them, the order inflow for single-channel jets was 67%, and the order inflow for wide-body aircraft was 33%:

Japan Airlines (OTCPK: JAPSY) has ordered 21 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

Air Luxembourg has ordered 2 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

An unidentified customer ordered 17 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

EVA has ordered 5 Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

Lufthansa (OTCQX: DLAKF) has ordered 7 Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

An unidentified customer ordered 8 Boeing 787-8 aircraft.

The following changes have been made to the order book this month:

Singapore Airlines (OTCPK: SINGY) has cancelled orders for 8 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

An unidentified customer cancelled an order for 8 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

AerCap has cancelled an order for 2 Boeing 787-10 aircraft.

An unidentified customer cancelled an order for 4 Boeing 787-8 aircraft.

AerCap selects General Electric as supplier for 6 Boeing 787-9 and 2 Rolls Royce (OTCPK: RYCEF)

Air Lease Corporation took over a delivery period for the Boeing 787-9 from Oman Air.

American Airlines was identified as a customer for a Boeing 787-8.

CES Leasing was identified as a customer for a Boeing 777F.

Grand Bay Airlines has been identified as a customer for 15 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

Japan Airlines was identified as a customer for a Boeing 787-8.

Orders from Norwegian Air (OTCPK: NWARF) have been transferred to Norwegian Air.

Scoot, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, transferred orders for three Boeing 787-9s to Singapore Airlines and converted them to larger Boeing 787-10s.

Southwest Airlines has been identified as a customer for a Boeing 737 MAX.

TUI Travel was identified as a customer for a Boeing 737 MAX.

After a relatively weak February month, March looked much better, and total orders doubled in the first quarter of March. A clear positive factor is the wide body combination. Normally I'd like to see a 40-60 ratio between a wide-body machine and a single-channel machine, but March's performance wasn't bad at all.

I wouldn't say there are any major negative outliers in terms of cancellations and other mutations. It's been a strong month for Boeing, with 60 orders worth $4.8 billion, while it cancelled 22 orders worth $1.6 million from its books, bringing net orders to 42, worth just over $3.2 billion. A year ago, Boeing ordered 53 orders and 15 cancelled orders, bringing its net order to 38, with a net order value of $2.3 billion. As a result, by March 2023, we saw a rise in total aircraft orders and values and a significant increase in net orders and values.

This month, ASC 606 lost 23 units. Three of the Boeing 737 plans and 19 of the Boeing 777 plans may be related to ANA's Boeing 777X order. An ASC 606 adjustment is an order where a purchase agreement exists but does not satisfy requirements other than the existence of a purchase contract. An increase means that more orders are questionable, while a decrease means that additional requirements have been met or that are considered suspicious are cancelled. Boeing currently has 801 orders that do not meet the additional criteria.

Boeing

In March, Boeing delivered 64 jets, compared to 28 last month. The American jet maker delivered 53 single-aisle jets and 11 wide-body jets worth a total of $4.4 billion:

Boeing delivered 53 Boeing 737s, including 53 Boeing 737 MAX and a Boeing P-8A.

Boeing delivered a Boeing 767-300F to FedEx

Boeing delivered 7 Boeing 787s, including 2 -8, 4 -9, and 1 -10.

As we're used to, there was a rise in delivery numbers in March, and there were some clear positives. The first positive factor was the delivery of 53 aircraft from the Boeing 737 project. Ideally, we would see 10 deliveries per month from inventory and an additional 30 deliveries from the production line. As a result, there were at least 40 deliveries. Boeing surpassed that number in March, which is a positive sign, but we need to see a minimum delivery of 40 units for several consecutive months. We've also seen Boeing 767 and Boeing 787 reappear. Both aircraft have discussed short delivery stops here and here.

So overall, compared to last year, there was an increase of 23 units delivered in March, from 41 to 23, while the value of these deliveries increased from $2.5 billion to $4.4 billion, reflecting improvements in volume and delivery mix.

The order-to-ship ratio for the month was 0.9 per order and 1.1 in terms of value, while the order inflow cancellation rate was 36.7%, and the backlog order cancellation rate was 0.4%. This year's order-to-order ratio appears to be very strong, with a ratio of 0.9 measured by volume and 1.2 by value. We're looking for order-to-ship ratios higher than 1, but even if that were to happen, those ratios should be placed in a context where we saw strong demand but the supply side was under tremendous pressure to turn orders into delivery.

02

Looking ahead to 2023, what are Boeing's new goals?

For 2023, Boeing has yet to provide official delivery targets, but the company expects to deliver 400 to 450 Boeing 737s and approximately 70-80 Boeing 787s. Overall, I expect 535-595 deliveries.

Boeing delivered 64 aircraft to customers in March, while Airbus delivered 61 aircraft. In the first quarter, Boeing delivered 130 jets compared to 127 by Airbus. So while it looks like Boeing is the more problematic manufacturer, the two manufacturers delivered the same number of aircraft in the first three months of this year.

03

epilogue

Overall, Boeing did not face significant challenges in securing orders for its key projects. On the order side, we continue to see leads fulfilled. The larger order recently announced by Boeing will indeed take some time to fully finalize, so we haven't seen this reflected yet, but we have seen the health demand for commercial aircraft, and demand for wide-body aircraft is recovering.
