On Nov. 13, jet maker and Motley Fool Stock Advisor pick Embraer
- Neither sales nor per-share earnings met expectations, but investors haven't much cared. The shares are up roughly 3% since the earnings news first broke. That's Foolish. Embraer produced more than $460 million in cash during the quarter.
- Management, for its part, says that higher operating costs and lower deliveries contributed to lower-than-expected sales and earnings. Production problems cut deliveries from 41 during last year's Q3 to 30 this year.
- That would be a major red flag if orders weren't still pouring in. Embraer's backlog is up 30% from the second quarter, to $13.3 billion.
