BOEING DELIVERS: Boeing is on track to meet delivery targets for the year, and on Wednesday raised its profit guidance and reported a better-than-expected profit for the third quarter.

ON TARGET: Boeing said on Wednesday that it will hit its delivery targets — 585 to 600 commercial planes this year.
