Quick Glance: Boeing Plans Acquisition of Spirit Aero and Delays Production Hikes
  • Boeing is in talks to buy its former subsidiary Spirit AeroSystems and is delaying plans to increase 737 aircraft production due to a crisis triggered by a mid-air incident.

  • Boeing is struggling with quality issues resulting from years of decentralization of production capacities and loss of experienced workers. Reintegrating Spirit AeroSystems could address some of these quality problems and give Boeing more manufacturing control.

  • The US Federal Aviation Administration has prevented Boeing from increasing 737 MAX production, leading Boeing to postpone production increases until 2024 and 2025.

  • Spirit AeroSystems is facing cash flow problems and quality issues with fuselages for Boeing's 737 narrowbody jets. The opportunity to acquire Spirit could help Boeing address these issues.

  • However, excluding one-time items, GM reported earnings of $2.28 per share, surpassing Wall Street's estimate of $1.87.
