12.06.2020 Boeing Daily Analysis

Boeing today,s trading at $170.00, it is trading lower with $33.41 mainly because It's been more than a month now since Boeing announced plans to restart production of its troubled 737 MAX airliners, but it doesn't appear that things are going very well. More so, Last night, Boeing 737 parts supplier Spirit AeroSystems announced that it has been directed by Boeing to "pause" work on four 737 MAX chipsets. (One chipset comprises all the parts Spirit would ordinarily contribute to the production of an individual 737 MAX). Furthermore, said Spirit, it has been instructed to "avoid starting production on sixteen 737 MAX chipsets to be delivered in 2020, until otherwise directed by Boeing" and this however made the share to trade lower today. However, from Boeing's point of view, these pauses and avoidances are necessary "in order to support Boeing's alignment of near-term delivery schedules to its customers' needs in light of COVID-19's impact on air travel and airline operations," which remain significantly depressed by the coronavirus pandemic. But for Spirit, this is very bad news.
