President Donald Trump awarded Boeing an estimated $20 billion contract to develop a sixth -generation of fighter jets.

Boeing stock swung higher on the news. Rival Lockheed Martin , the loser in the deal, sold off.

The award provides a much-needed boost for Boeing , which could potentially receive hundreds of billions worth of orders over the multi-decade lifetime of the contract.
