Boeing's Q1 Earnings Show Mixed Results with 737 Max Production Boost.

Boeing is expected to report its best Q1 results since 2019, with revenue estimated to be $17.7 billion, a 26% jump from the prior year.

Boeing's fortunes are tied to air travel demand, and the company's production delays cost it market share to rival Airbus.
