I hope BA Investor is happy for a change. Barring any disruption in the Japan supply line the stock should be at $90 after first delivery. Go Boeing!

Managing share value ahead of the 1Q earnings conference call with 'expectations' that are likely to fall apart soon after?

@Guru Josh,

Not really. Boeing has a long-standing policy they will not announce sales or delivery guidance publicly. They will only confirm it if the airline has previously announced it. It would be pretty hard for Boeing to manipulate the stock price under these operating rules. Incidentally, EADS does not have this same policy; Airbus regularly announces orders and airline-specific delivery guidance in advance of the airline.

Not that I am a believer but I do have a feeling this information should be pretty accurate. I cannot see Boeing straining customer relations any further with false promises at this late stage. Not to exclude the possibility of a few of these slipping by a few weeks or so.

I just cannot imagine anything causing another multi month delay waiting in the wings with such information being passed along.
