Boeing shares rose about 3% after the company was selected by the U.S. Navy to develop the military's next generation of fighter jets, according to an announcement made Tuesday.
The Department of War and the Navy said they had chosen Boeing, the aircraft manufacturer, to lead development of the next-generation fighter program. The selection represents a major contract win for Boeing's defense division.
Details about the specific terms of the contract, including its total value and timeline for delivery, were not immediately disclosed in the initial announcement. Next-generation fighter programs typically involve multi-year development phases before aircraft reach operational status.
The contract award adds to Boeing's portfolio of military aircraft programs and comes as the Navy continues to invest in modernizing its fighter jet fleet.
Investors responded positively to the news, sending Boeing's stock higher in trading following the announcement. The defense contract offers a boost to the company's outlook in its aerospace and defense business segment.
Boeing has competed with other major defense contractors for next-generation fighter development contracts in recent years, and Tuesday's announcement confirms the company as the selected developer for this particular Navy program.
Further details about the program's development timeline, testing phases, and eventual deployment are expected to be released as the contract moves forward.
