Published On Oct 23, 2024, 8:05 AM
Boeing reported a staggering net loss of $6.17 billion for the third quarter, mainly due to lower deliveries and unfavorable working capital, compounded by a significant labor strike. In contrast to the previous year's small gain, cash flow was negative $1.345 billion. The company is also pursuing new financing options, including a $10 billion credit agreement and a potential $25 billion in new debt and stock offerings. Shares fell slightly in premarket trading, reflecting investor concerns over financial stability and the outcome of an impending union vote on a new contract.
