Why Boeing Company Stock Is Falling Today?

Boeing Company (BA) shares fell after the Federal Trade Commission ordered Boeing to divest substantial assets of Spirit Aerosystems Holdings, Inc. (SPR) to address antitrust concerns over Boeing's $8.3 billion proposed acquisition of Spirit's aerostructures business. The FTC's consent order requires Boeing to sell Spirit businesses supplying aerostructures to Airbus and divest Spirit's facility in Malaysia. The divestitures aim to protect competition in aircraft markets. Boeing shares dropped 1.5% to $202.30, while Spirit shares rose 2.72% to $38.56.
