Boeing Equity Issuance Timeline Seen As Positive

The extended timeline that’s part of Boeing’s equity issuance is positive, say analysts at BofA Securities in a research note. The jet maker disclosed in regulatory filings that it could issue up to $25 billion in shares or debt during the next three years while also entering into a new credit agreement with lenders. The disclosure comes as the company is looking to stabilize amid a strike by its largest union that’s exacerbating its financial woes. “We expect Boeing to offer equity first, which should shore up the company’s balance sheet in the near term while maintaining the option to later issue equity debt with a lower risk of a credit downgrade,” say the analysts. Boeing is up 0.3%.
