Boeing's $1.39B Volume Ranks 44th as WestJet Orders 67 Planes Strengthening Market Position

On September 3, 2025, Boeing (BA) traded with a volume of $1.39 billion, ranking 44th in market activity for the day. The stock closed down 2.11%, reflecting investor sentiment amid significant developments in the company's commercial aviation segment.

WestJet, Canada’s second-largest low-cost carrier, announced a landmark order for 67 Boeing aircraft, including 60 737-10 MAX narrowbodies and seven 787-9 Dreamliner widebody jets. This deal expands WestJet’s firm order book to 123 aircraft and 40 options, marking its largest-ever procurement and doubling its 787 fleet. The order, with deliveries spanning through 2034, aligns with the airline’s growth strategy to enhance domestic and international connectivity while modernizing its fleet.

The transaction underscores Boeing’s competitive position in the narrowbody and widebody markets. The 737-10 MAX, Boeing’s largest single-aisle variant, remains a focal point as it awaits U.S. Federal Aviation Administration certification. The 787 Dreamliner, known for fuel efficiency and passenger comfort, further strengthens Boeing’s appeal to carriers seeking cost-effective long-haul solutions. WestJet’s existing fleet of nearly 150 Boeing 737s and seven 787s highlights its long-standing reliance on the manufacturer.

Boeing emphasized the strategic importance of the deal, which builds on a three-decade partnership with WestJet. The order also comes amid production improvements at Boeing following 2024 production challenges. WestJet’s CEO noted accelerated delivery timelines, signaling improved coordination between the two parties. The economic benefits of the deal were acknowledged by Canadian Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland, who highlighted cross-border job creation and economic opportunities amid ongoing U.S.-Canada trade discussions.

Historical performance data from the past 90 days shows a 12.3% decline in Boeing’s stock price, with an average daily volume of $1.1 billion. The 200-day moving average stands at $215.45, and the stock has traded within a $198–$235 range over the period. These metrics reflect ongoing market sensitivity to Boeing’s operational updates and commercial aircraft demand trends.
