11:29 AM EDT, 03/17/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Boeing ( BA ) has delayed its profitability target for its Boeing Commercial Aircraft or BCA unit by a year, now expecting flat to positive margins only in 2027, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing the company's chief financial officer.

Boeing CFO Jesus Malave told a conference that the delay was due to the costs of integrating Spirit Aerosystems into the group, Bloomberg reported.

Spirit Aerosystems had certain performance issues that Boeing ( BA ) only discovered after its acquisition, Malave said, according to the report.

Boeing ( BA ) expects this year to be negative for margins at BCA, the report said.

Boeing ( BA ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for a comment.
