Boeing’s New $131 Billion F-15 Contract Boosts Defense Business

Boeing just secured a $131 billion contract for its F-15 fighter jet. It’s significant for Boeing’s struggling defense division, which generated first-half 2026 sales of $15.1 billion. “That’s a lot of F-15 support,” wrote Vertical Research Partners analyst Rob Stallard on Tuesday, noting that the contract covers maintenance and upgrades.
