Every industry has conferences and manufacturers have trade shows. Although there will be more than one conference to be attended, one conference seems to stand above the other. If you think about consumer electronics it is the trade show in Las Vegas held in January. If you are in the airplane manufacturing business for civilian aircraft the trade show is the Farnborough Airshow. Talks begin weeks in advance but results are announced at the show.

In an article by Tim Hepher and David Shepardson of Reuters, Boeing and Airbus will announce dels with airliners across the globe. Boeing announced deals with Delta Air Lines and Lufthansa worth over $15 billion for 737 Max 10 and 777 X jets.

Easyjet announced 56 Airbus A320neos.

Linking to dividend paying stocks, in every industry there are conferences and at some companies announce purchases. For the companies you own stock, it is good to know when the important conferences are to be held and watch for news from the event. If news is good, then you can hold, if news is not good then you might be looking for alternatives.
