    BOEING Co gave investors bad news and good news as it unveiled deeper cuts to one of its biggest money-makers, the 777 jetliner - and then announced a 30 per cent dividend hike.

    The shares responded like a yo-yo in trading after the close in New York, diving on news of the production slowdown for the company's largest twin-engine model before rebounding a half hour later when the company revealed its dividend of US$1.42 a share. That far exceeded the US$1.25 average of analysts' estimates.
