COMPANY NEWS
Boeing Buys Spirit Aerosystems

What’s better than one troubled company? Two troubled companies. At least that’s the math Boeing management is doing as it acquires its key supplier, Spirit AeroSystems…

The aerospace and defense giant will acquire Spirit Aero for $37.25 per share in stock, valuing the company at $8.30 billion, including debt. As for its equity, it’s valued at roughly $4.70 billion. 💰

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun said, “By reintegrating Spirit, we can filly align our commercial production systems, including our Safety and Quality Management Systems, and our workforce to the same priorities, incentives, and outcomes.”

Meanwhile, Airbus will buy back some business from Spirit and receive $559 million in cash in a sweetheart deal for the Boeing competitor. 🤩

Shares rebounded about 3% on the news, continuing its recovery from the one-year low it set back in April. Right now, retail investors view this as an important next step in the company’s longer-term turnaround story. But time will tell if Boeing’s management team can stick the landing. 🛬
