Boeing is facing significant financial difficulties due to various challenges such as production issues, labor disputes, and natural disasters, resulting in a decrease in industrial capacity utilization.
Preliminary quarterly figures suggest projected sales of $17.8 billion, with an expected loss per share of around $10. Rating agencies are closely monitoring the situation and potential credit rating downgrades are possible.
To address these challenges, Boeing is considering a substantial capital increase of up to $25 billion and has obtained an additional $10 billion credit line.
Despite these challenges, there are indications of potential recovery. Boeing is in talks with Etihad Airways regarding significant orders for long-haul aircraft, which could boost its order books and restore investor confidence. Analysts are optimistic about the company's stock and predict a possible rebound in the coming months.
The announcement of planned capital measures has been well-received by the markets, as evidenced by a narrowing of yield spreads on outstanding bonds.
