Boeing’s third-quarter 2026 revenue rose 4% to $24.188 billion. Total backlog reached a record $745 billion, according to its October 27 results release.
The backlog includes more than 6,300 commercial aircraft. Boeing delivered 161 commercial planes during the quarter. Operating cash flow was about $1.5 billion, while company-defined non-GAAP free cash flow approached $0.5 billion.
Orders indicate future workload rather than current revenue. Delivery pace remains central for airline customers: the value of multiyear contracts becomes revenue progressively as obligations are fulfilled.
