New Air Force One Deal Cleared For Takeoff
February 27, 2018
[...]
White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said the president's negotiating skill had shaved "more than $1.4 billion" off the purchase price. But that claim could not be independently verified, and at least one analyst was skeptical.
"The price has always been around $4 billion," said Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst with the Teal Group. "There's no evidence that anything has changed at all with this program. Happy Air Force One Theater Day!"
Boeing said the delivery date for the new planes will depend on how much testing the Air Force wants to do. Before Trump took office, the plan was to have the planes ready by 2024, when the current models will both be more than 30 years old.

and that deal has from precious little to absolutely nothing to do with the stock of Boeing, a company with approaching $100 billion in annual revenue ( https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BA/key-statistics?p=BA ), htting any new highs
