Boeing has initiated a significant stock offering, aiming to raise up to $19 billion amid ongoing financial strains exacerbated by a costly strike. The company views this capital raise as essential to shore up its liquidity and prevent a potential credit downgrade. Analysts suggest that the funds will cover immediate financial needs as Boeing navigates delivery delays and worker stoppages. Despite some market fluctuations following the announcement, the airliner is determined to bolster its finances through this strategic move, in hopes of stabilizing its operations during challenging times.
