The company also raised its 2018 earnings forecast, in what looks to be a record year for revenue.  The aerospace giant reported adjusted earnings of $3.58 a share, topping Wall Street expectations by 11 cents. Third quarter revenue came in at $25.15 billion, which was over $1 billion more than analysts' forecast. (CNBC)
