Boeing's $15 Billion Capital Raise
Boeing Co is reportedly planning to initiate a $15 billion capital raise as early as Monday, according to Bloomberg. This move comes as the aerospace giant grapples with a debilitating strike and declining cash reserves.
Impact of the Strike
The strike, involving over 30,000 employees, has significantly impacted Boeing’s financial stability, causing the company to lose cash for more than a month. Reports of the capital raise have surfaced amid increasing concerns about the company’s liquidity.
Regulatory Approval and Credit Concerns
Boeing has received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to raise to $25 billion. This capital influx is critical for the company as it seeks to avoid a potential downgrade of its credit rating to junk status, which could further complicate its financial recovery.
Ongoing Challenges
The current strike is just one of several challenges facing Boeing. Recently, the maiden flight of its Starliner spacecraft left two astronauts stranded aboard the International Space Station, highlighting ongoing issues within the company. Additionally, heightened regulatory scrutiny over safety standards has emerged following an incident involving a door malfunction on an Alaska Airlines flight.
