Boeing Will Sell $19 Billion in Stock Amid Costly Strike
Published On Oct 28, 2024, 11:00 AM
Boeing is raising approximately $19 billion by selling stock to strengthen its finances amidst a significant and ongoing strike by its workers, which is costing the company millions daily. This comes after Boeing reported a $6.1 billion loss last quarter and announced substantial job cuts. The company is facing potential credit rating downgrades due to its high debt of $58 billion and the financial impact of the strike. Boeing's stock has fallen over 40% this year, and the largest union representing its workers rejected a contract that could have ended the strike.
