Meanwhile, Boeing and Spirit, a supplier for the U.S. planemaker and European rival Airbus(AIR.PA), are contending with a lapse involving misdrilled holes on Boeing’s 737 MAX.
Boeing is expected to report a loss of $2.23 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $5.49 a year ago.
Spirit is projected to report a loss of $1.03 a share, compared to a loss of $1.22 a year earlier, according to LSEG data.
The target may no longer be achievable if Boeing can no longer meet its goal of delivering 400 737s this year.
Spirit, which reports Nov. 1, has already revealed preliminary results as part of a new price agreement with Boeing.
