A federal appeals court upheld a lower-court decision approving the DOJ's dismissal of a criminal case against Boeing, allowing the planemaker to avoid prosecution over two fatal 737 MAX crashes that killed 346 people. The ruling removes a significant criminal overhang and legal uncertainty for Boeing, likely lowering litigation-related downside risk for the company and modestly supporting the stock at the company/sector level rather than broad markets.
