The loss was not as steep as investor analysts had expected. Boeing brought in more than $16.5 billion in revenue in the first quarter, less than it reported the same period last year but also a bit more than analysts expected, and burned through almost $4 billion in cash.

The panel blowout on a 737 Max 9 jet during an Alaska Airlines flight resulted in...
