Boeing Foresees Q1 Cash Drain Amid Regulatory Scrutiny: Report
Portfolio Pulse from Shivani Kumaresan
Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) expects a significant cash outflow of $4-$4.5 billion in Q1 due to regulatory scrutiny and reduced 737 Max production after a January accident. Full-year free cash flow is projected below expectations. Boeing faces challenges, including a 737 Max 9 fuselage failure and negative commercial aircraft margins. Production rates for the 737 Max will be lower in H1, with an increase expected later in the year. Boeing stopped accepting fuselages from Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc (NYSE:SPR) that lack parts or repairs, affecting deliveries to airlines like Ryanair Holdings Plc (NASDAQ:RYAAY). Despite this, Boeing has sufficient reserves for a potential purchase of Spirit Aero.
