On the news front, Boeing raised about $21 billion in funds through a large-scale stock offering, one of the largest in the history of public companies, bolstering its balance sheet at a time when the company is burning through cash. According to a statement, the aircraft manufacturer sold 0.1125 billion common shares at a price of $143 per share. The offering price was about 7.7% discount to the closing price of $155.01 per share on last Friday.
