Boeing is facing significant challenges, including a 10% workforce reduction, ongoing strikes, safety concerns, and financial losses. The company plans to cut 17,000 jobs to manage costs amid production delays and a strike by 33,000 factory workers. Boeing's Q3 earnings are expected to be impacted by these issues, with anticipated pre-tax charges of $5 billion across various segments. Despite these challenges, Goldman Sachs maintains a Buy rating on Boeing, citing better-than-expected cash flow and cost reduction plans.
