Boeing's $3.5 Billion Loss 😮

Boeing’s (NYSE: BA) bad year took a disappointing turn. The stock fell 1.82% in after-hours trading on Thursday after releasing preliminary financial results.

Details: Boeing lost about $3.5 billion in the last quarter due to the machinists and aerospace workers’ labor strike and higher expenses from the new labor agreement.

  • The work stoppage also meant fewer deliveries, which impacted revenue and earnings.

  • Boeing has experienced six consecutive years of annual net losses (ouch!).

Stock Price: In the past 12 months, Boeing is down 15%.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: While the labor strike at Boeing has ended, the company still faces significant challenges, including production delays, cash flow issues, supply chain disruptions, market competition, regulatory scrutiny, and ongoing safety concerns.

Final Thoughts: Boeing reports its full financial earnings results on January 28. Will the pain for Boeing investors ever stop?
