Boeing is navigating through a challenging period as it plans to raise $15 billion through shares and bonds amidst ongoing strike concerns. Regulatory filings reveal that the aerospace giant has the potential to secure as much as $25 billion in stock and debt, drawing favor from its investment-grade credit rating. These financial maneuvers come as Boeing addresses multiple hurdles, including labor disruptions and shifts in the aerospace market.
In parallel, the company faces pressure from NASA, which has opted to hold off on utilizing Boeing's Starliner for its missions until at least late 2025. Instead, NASA has sought more flights from SpaceX, indicating a preference for the latter's reliable track record as Boeing continues to refine its commercial spacecraft.
Additionally, airline executives from United Airlines have been discussing the implications of various global factors such as corporate travel dynamics, the fluctuating Chinese market, and the anticipated impacts of upcoming elections.

In the face of these multiple fronts, Boeing's financial strategies and ongoing aerospace innovations will be critical as it strives to maintain its standing and capitalize on emerging opportunities within the industry.
