Boeing Company BA shares are trading slightly higher Tuesday, though the troubled company's stock remains down more than 30% year-to-date. 

What To Know:

According to a Reuters report released Tuesday, Boeing's defense, space and security suppliers improved their on-time deliveries, but still did not meet requirements for satisfactory performance suppliers in 2023.
