Boeing (NYSE: BA) reported 303 new gross orders in May, marking its sixth-best month ever. After a few cancellations, the company ended the month with 300 net new aircraft orders. Deliveries also surged, with Boeing shipping 45 aircraft in May, nearly double the total from a year ago.
Order highlights included Qatar Airways booking 130 Dreamliners and 30 777Xs. WestJet and AviLease also added to Boeing’s tally with new 737 MAX orders. The total order backlog now stands at 5,943 aircraft.
Boeing also confirmed it produced 38 new 737 MAX jets, meeting the FAA’s current production limit. This is the fifth straight month it has delivered at least 40 aircraft, another positive sign that operations are stabilizing.
For investors, this steady pace signals real recovery. Boeing is demonstrating its ability to manage production while maintaining quality and safety metrics. All six FAA-defined safety indicators are now in the “green.” Deliveries are increasing, orders remain strong, and China is once again accepting Boeing planes after a brief pause related to trade.
That combination of regulatory stability, returning demand, and reliable output puts Boeing in a stronger position. Shareholders have been waiting for signs that the worst is behind them, and May’s numbers provide them with a solid reason to remain optimistic.

Brown & Brown (NYSE: BRO) has announced a $9.83 billion deal to acquire Accession Risk Management, making it one of the biggest insurance brokerage mergers in recent years.
The acquisition gives Brown & Brown access to Accession’s two major businesses: Risk Strategies and One80 Intermediaries.
These firms connect insurers with commercial and nonprofit clients across the U.S. and Canada, reporting $1.7 billion in pro forma revenue last year. The move also expands Brown & Brown’s footprint with more than 5,000 new insurance professionals and over $15 billion in placed premiums.
For long-term holders, this deal reinforces Brown & Brown’s appetite to compete at the top tier of the insurance distribution industry. Instead of focusing on a slow rollout of smaller deals, the company is making a decisive move to scale fast.
In a fragmented and relationship-driven sector, acquiring scale means better leverage with carriers, broader specialty reach, and more pricing power. Competitors like Gallagher, Aon, and Marsh have followed similar playbooks recently, suggesting this consolidation trend isn’t slowing down.
The market response has been cautious so far, with shares down slightly, partly due to Brown & Brown filing a $4 billion equity offering to help fund the purchase. Still, the long-term strategy appears focused on building a diversified and vertically integrated distribution business.
For institutional buyers or analysts tracking the insurance space, this confirms Brown & Brown’s place among the few actively reshaping the competitive map.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.

Paramount Global (NASDAQ: PARA) is cutting 3.5% of its U.S. workforce in another round of layoffs aimed at reducing costs and streamlining operations. The company informed employees of the cuts Tuesday morning, with most affected staff expected to receive notifications the same day.
The job reductions come as Paramount works to finalize a planned merger with Skydance Media. The move also reflects the pressure on traditional media businesses as cord-cutting accelerates and ad revenue remains inconsistent. Paramount has already undergone significant workforce reductions in the past year, including a 15% cut announced last August.
For investors tracking operational risk, this signals the company’s urgency in repositioning itself for long-term sustainability.
The layoffs are not isolated but part of a broader plan that includes reduced spending and a possible reorganization of the corporate structure once the Skydance deal is complete. It’s also a clear indication that leadership is striving to strike a balance between short-term financial discipline and long-term strategic ambitions.
For portfolio managers focused on media and streaming, these moves indicate a company preparing for transformation but also shedding legacy overhead. Cost control remains a top priority in a space where scale alone doesn’t guarantee survival.
Paramount had about 18,600 employees globally as of its last filing. Tuesday’s memo noted that some international operations may also be impacted over time, though no specific numbers were given.
