The U.S. Justice Department claims Boeing (NYSE: BA) violated a 2021 settlement tied to fatal 737 MAX crashes. The settlement allowed Boeing to avoid prosecution by enhancing compliance. Recent findings suggest Boeing failed these commitments, risking criminal charges. Boeing had admitted misleading regulators, leading to crashes. A new investigation into a 737 MAX incident and 787 Dreamliner inspection lapses raises further safety concerns.

U.S. House Approves Sweeping Aviation Safety, Consumer Reform Bill Sending To Biden

The U.S. Justice Department has accused&nbsp;Boeing Co.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) of violating a 2021 settlement agreement concerning the company's involvement in two fatal 737 MAX crashes.&nbsp;
The settlement had allowed Boeing to avoid prosecution by agreeing to certain compliance obligations.&nbsp;
Recent findings suggest that Boeing failed to meet these commitments, potentially exposing the company to criminal charges, according to a report from&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/airlines/boeing-violated-criminal-settlement-after-737-max-crashes-justice-department-says-3df4f330?mod=airlines_news_article_pos1" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Wall Street Journal</a>.
Boeing admitted in 2021 that two employees misled federal regulators about the 737 MAX, which contributed to the crashes.&nbsp;
A subsequent agreement imposed a $2.5 billion penalty and required Boeing to enhance its compliance programs.&nbsp;
However, in January,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36526743/over-170-boeing-737-max-9s-grounded-as-alaska-air-passengers-recall-terrifying-incident" rel="noreferrer noopener">an incident involving an Alaska Airlines 737 MAX</a>&nbsp;prompted a new investigation, raising&nbsp;fresh&nbsp;concerns about Boeing's safety culture.
The Justice Department's letter to a Texas federal court revealed that Boeing recently disclosed potential lapses in inspections and falsified records related to its 787 Dreamliner jets.&nbsp;
These allegations further question whether Boeing has adhered to the compliance standards&nbsp;set forth in&nbsp;the 2021 agreement.

The Justice Department might seek to extend Boeing's probation or push for a guilty plea. "For failing to fulfill completely the terms of and obligations under the DPA, Boeing is subject to prosecution by the United States for any federal criminal violation," federal prosecutors stated in the court filing.
Boeing maintained that it has honored the 2021 agreement's terms and is prepared to respond to the Justice Department's findings.&nbsp;
In April, Justice Department officials<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38402133/boeing-faces-potential-criminal-prosecution-as-crash-victims-families-demand-justice-throw-out-the-d" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;informed the families of 737 MAX crash victims</a>&nbsp;that findings from the Alaska Airlines investigation could impact Boeing's 2021 settlement.&nbsp;
Paul Cassell, representing the victims' families, welcomed the renewed scrutiny but called for more decisive action against Boeing.
The case underscores the increased scrutiny of corporate probation deals under the Biden administration. The Justice Department has previously taken action against companies like&nbsp;Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERIC#NYSE">ERIC</a>) and&nbsp;Deutsche Bank AG&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DG#NYSE">DG</a>) for similar violations, emphasizing stricter enforcement and accountability.
Boeing's status as a government contractor could be at risk if a conviction occurs, although experts believe the company may still retain defense contracts despite a potential felony.
Boeing stock has lost more than 10% in the last 12 months.&nbsp;Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;IShares U.S.&nbsp;Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF&nbsp;(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>) and&nbsp;Invesco Aerospace&nbsp;&amp; Defense ETF&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PPA#NYSE">PPA</a>).

Lockheed-Boeing Alliance Faces U.S. Penalties For Launch Delay; Air Force Cites 'Schedule Slip,' Withholds Fee Details

Boeing Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) reported a decrease in April commercial airplane deliveries amid ongoing efforts to enhance production of its 737 MAX.
Boeing handed over 24 commercial airplanes in&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.boeing.com/commercial#orders-deliveries" rel="noreferrer noopener">April</a>, down from 26 a year ago.
The company also faced 33 cancellations in April, primarily due to the cessation of operations by Canadian budget carrier Lynx Air, accounting for 29 of the cancellations, according to a report from Reuters.
Boeing reduced&nbsp;MAX single-aisle jets production&nbsp;to enhance manufacturing quality following increased scrutiny from regulators after a mid-air incident in January.
Wall Street closely monitors aircraft deliveries as it significantly impacts planemakers&#8217; revenue collection upon handing over jets to customers.
Despite cancellations, Boeing recorded seven gross new orders in April, totaling&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.boeing.com/commercial#orders-deliveries" rel="noreferrer noopener">138 gross orders for the year</a>.

Adjusted net orders stand at 127 airplanes after accounting for cancellations and conversions. Boeing&#8217;s backlog decreased to 5,646 as of April 30.

Last month, Boeing reported a first-quarter revenue decline of 8% year-over-year to $16.569 billion, beating the consensus of $16.227 billion. Adjusted loss per share contracted to $(1.13) from $(1.27) in the same quarter of 2023,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/04/38404308/boeings-737-saga-dents-q1-bottomline-ceo-emphasizes-improving-quality-safety" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;beating the consensus estimate of $(1.76).</a>

U.S. Airlines Forecast Record Summer Travel In 2024, Sees Passengers Up 6.3% Over 2023

Meme stocks have once again captured the spotlight in the financial market following the return of Keith Gill — known widely as &#8220;Roaring Kitty&#8221;— to social media after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/05/38798005/roaring-kitty-doubles-down-posts-new-videos-on-x-sending-gamestops-stock-higher">a three-year hiatus. </a>
For those unfamiliar, Gill is a pivotal figure in the meme stock phenomenon that took the financial world by storm in early 2021. As an individual investor and financial analyst, he became famous for his role in the explosive rise of GameStop Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NASDAQ">GME</a>)&#8217;s stock price.
The struggling video game retailer saw its shares soar from under $20 to nearly $500 at their peak in January 2021, largely driven by a short squeeze on investors who had bet against the stock amid weak fundamentals. 
Unlike traditional stocks, which are influenced by fundamental analysis and corporate performance, meme stocks are often subject to rapid price changes driven by hype <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38795608/gamestop-leads-roaring-rally-whats-going-on-with-meme-stocks">and mass trading actions.</a>
Gill chronicled his investment journey across various platforms, including YouTube and Reddit, notably under the username u/DeepF&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;Value on the subreddit r/WallStreetBets. His philosophy is emblematic of a broader narrative about meme stocks and the democratization of investing, illustrating how individual investors can unite to disrupt the financial status quo of seasoned and large investors.
Gill&#8217;s resurgence on X (formerly known as Twitter) on May 13, sparked a viral reaction. A posted image of a man intensely focused on a video game, adopting a serious gaming stance, served as a metaphor for Gill&#8217;s impactful return to the public eye.
The post has attracted considerable attention, amassing over 10K retweets, 24K quote tweets, 94K likes, and over 19 million views, highlighting its widespread appeal and significance.

As a result, GameStop&#8217;s share price soared by 74% on Monday, representing the fourth-largest one-day gain since the company&#8217;s IPO in 2002. This surge trails only behind the spikes of 104% on Feb. 21, 2021, 135% on Jan. 27, 2021, and 93% on Jan. 26, 2021.
Similarly, other meme-related stocks experienced significant increases. AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) saw its shares climb nearly 80%, marking its most substantial single-day rise since June 2021, the third strongest in its history.
