Checking in on some of today's top trending ticker shares of Boeing sinking here after the company's chief financial officer, Brian West, said the jet maker will continue to burn cash in the second quarter and in the full year as it continues its turnaround effort.

So company CFO here, Julie says the cash burn Q two is gonna be similar, maybe even worse than the first three months of the year.

Remember, Boeing then lost about 4 billion in cash.

So no surprise.

Investors didn't love that.

You saw the stock dropped.

Yeah, and these comments were made at a conference where, uh, where Finance chief Brian West said, We have frustrated and disappointed our customers because of some of the production and supply chain issues we are up against.

Remember, Uh, jet deliveries in April for Boeing were the lowest since the start of the pandemic, so you can sort of understand here they are still having cash problems.

They also made some comments or I should say.

Also, there was the news that China was stopping delivery of max eight jets.

It's doing a battery review that news coming this week as well.

It looks like a temporary stoppage.

But that's something also, that is of concern to it.

It looks like it's impacting cash generation.

That's the issue there.

Yeah, exactly.
