Boeing's recent financial maneuvers, including the potential issuance of $25 billion in shares or debt, aim to secure liquidity amidst a crippling strike and debt pressures.
CFO Brian West mentioned at a recent conference that maintaining an investment grade credit rating is one of Boeing's top priorities moving forward, especially amid significant financial strains.
Analyst Ronald Epstein predicts Boeing could raise $10-12 billion by the end of the year, essential for covering the company's cash flow burn projected to hit $3-5 billion.
Boeing acknowledges that diluting shares through new stock issuances may upset shareholders, but a credit downgrade would significantly worsen their financial situation.
