Boeing loses almost $1bn every month in 2024
Published On Jan 28, 2025, 9:02 AM
Boeing faced a challenging year in 2024, reporting a staggering loss of $11.8 billion, the worst since 2020. The company struggled with a safety crisis, production delays, and a significant strike that halted operations at key factories. Notably, incidents of quality control failures, like a door panel issue on the 737 Max, raised safety concerns. In response, Boeing's new CEO, Kelly Ortberg, aims to stabilize the company and restore trust with stakeholders while planning to cut 10% of its workforce and raise over $20 billion to protect its credit rating.

Given the extent of losses, ongoing safety concerns, and significant strikes impacting production, Boeing is likely to continue facing significant challenges in the short term. Investors should brace for volatility and consider the potential for further declines in stock value until there are clear improvements in operational performance and safety compliance.
