Not quite correct. They've estimated a loss of 1BN due to reduced deliveries of 737 frames only. And that's just the losses 'so far', they may well escalate if the grounding is extended. Then comes all the recertification costs, as well as the court cases they are facing from families of survivors, and investors.
It's also worth noticing that Boeing hasn't logged a single order for any aircraft type since the 737 Max was grounded.
