Shares of Boeing Co. jumped as much as 3.4% to a seventh-straight record high in morning trade Tuesday, before paring some gains. The gains come after the aerospace and defense giant announced last week it delivered a record 763 aircraft in 2017, raised its dividend by 20% and launched a new $18 billion share repurchase program. After paring gains, the stock was up 1.3% at $340.68, and had run up $44.01, or 14.8%, during its seven-session win streak. That gain added about 303 points to the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s price, or more than a third of the Dow’s 873-point gain during that period.
