Boeing is planning to raise up to $35 billion through a combination of stock and debt offerings as well as a new credit agreement. This move is aimed at shoring up its finances amidst ongoing strike actions that have significantly impacted production and led to substantial monthly costs. The strike involves around 33,000 unionized workers and has already cost Boeing over $1 billion a month. The company had $10.89 billion in cash reserves as of June and is looking to manage its upcoming debt obligations and general corporate operations with the raised funds.

Boeing's ongoing labor strike and production issues are likely to continue exerting pressure on its financial situation, leading to increased volatility in its stock price. However, the planned financing could help stabilize its liquidity concerns in the medium term. Investors should closely monitor the labor negotiations and production recovery timelines as these will significantly impact the company's future earnings.
