How much did they actually lose? I mean, excluding coronavirus essentially destroying passenger airflight... Boeing does not have competition in many areas. The US military won't buy Airbus, Dassault or Saab planes, the NASA won't exclusively shift to SpaceX because ULA space flight is actually a job program. On the passenger airflight side the only competition is Airbus who have limited capacity.
