To preserve its precarious credit rating, Boeing is reportedly set to launch a new round of large-scale financing soon.
According to Reuters on the 28th, Boeing is expected to kick off a large-scale financing plan as early as this Monday to address the financial pressure caused by ongoing strikes, with an estimated fundraising target exceeding $15 billion.
Earlier on the 16th, Reuters revealed that Boeing was planning to raise approximately $15 billion through the issuance of common stock and convertible bonds.
The latest news indicates that this financing will mainly be achieved through the issuance of stocks and convertible preferred stocks, with the total amount of financing potentially further expanding based on market demand.
Since the 737 MAX aircraft accident in January 2019, Boeing has been mired in regulatory challenges, production constraints, and lack of customer confidence. With continuous losses throughout the year, the quarterly financial report released last week showed a staggering loss of $6 billion.
In order to alleviate financial pressure, Boeing had already reached a $10 billion credit agreement earlier this month with major banks including Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase, and announced layoffs of 17,000 employees.
It is worth noting that the three major international rating agencies - Standard &amp; Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch - have all warned that if Boeing continues to engage in new debt financing without being able to repay the approximately $11 billion debt due on February 1, 2026, its credit rating will be downgraded to junk status
