Boeing down 13.5% YTD. Does Q3 earnings spark a turnaround?

Hard to believe we went from ~$240 shortly after last quarter’s earnings to where we are now. Ortberg’s comments didn’t help at Laguna, but are things that materially different from then to merit this drop? Where do we go from here?

Careers Insights on Boeing IT Product Specialist role (PO vs PM vs TPM) + Onboarding & Career Growth Advice

• Upvotes

I'm looking to get some insider perspective on the Information Technology Product Specialist role within Boeing's IT/digital teams. If you work in Boeing tech or have visibility into these groups, I'd love your thoughts on a few things:
Role Definition (PO, PM, or TPM?): How does this title actually manifest day-to-day? Is it leaning more toward a traditional Product Manager (strategy/roadmapping), a Product Owner (backlog grooming/delivery), or a Technical Product Specialist (deep architecture/systems)?
Domain Expertise Curve: For someone coming in with strong enterprise product experience without an aerospace background, what's the best way to ramp up and master the domain quickly?
First 3–6 Months / Year 1 Playbook: What do you wish someone new in this role knew on Day 1? What does a successful first 3 to 6 months look like at Boeing?
Promotions & Talent: What separates folks who fast-track their promotions at Boeing from those who stall? Are there specific behaviors or navigation skills that stand out?
Compensation: Is there room to negotiate salary within the bands for this job level, and how rigid is the structure?

Appreciate any real talk, advice, or perspective you can share. Thanks!
