The Boeing Company BA shares are trading higher on Thursday. It was announced that the company's P-8A Poseidon was chosen by Canada as its Multi-Mission Aircraft.

What To Know: On Thursday afternoon, the news broke that Canada signed a Foreign Military Sales Letter of Offer and Acceptance for up to 16 Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft. The selection of the maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft is part of the Canadian Multi-Mission Aircraft (CMMA) project, with first delivery anticipated in 2026.

An recent upgrade from Deutsche Bank analyst Scott Deuschle from Hold to Buy, and the announcement of a $270 price target, also boosted the stock during the month, as well as RBC Capital analyst Ken Herbert's upgrade from Sector Perform to Outperform, and price target increase from $200 to $275.
