Boeing Shares Are Trading Higher Today: What You Need To Know
"The timing of any equity raise is still unclear but market consensus is that it should be done after the labor strike is resolved and earnings provide some visibility of its impact on current and future cash flows," said Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) shares are trading higher Wednesday. The company is reportedly closing in on a plan to raise approximately $15 billion through a combination of common stock and mandatory convertible bonds. Here's what you need to know.
波音公司（NYSE: BA）股價在週三上漲。據報道，該公司計劃通過普通股和強制可轉債的組合籌集約150億美元。以下是您需要了解的信息。
What To Know: According to Reuters, Boeing plans to issue around $10 billion in new shares and $5 billion in mandatory convertible bonds, a hybrid bond that converts into equity at a predetermined date. The plane maker also filed regulatory documents indicating it could raise up to $25 billion in stock and debt.
根據路透社的報道，波音計劃發行約100億美元新股和50億美元的強制可轉債，這是一種混合債券，在預定日期轉換爲股票。這家飛機制造商還提交了監管文件，表明其可以通過股票和債務籌集高達250億美元。
The deal is expected to be priced following Boeing's third-quarter earnings report on Oct. 23. However, some analysts believe the company may delay the raise until its ongoing strike, which has been costing tens of millions of dollars per day, is resolved.
預計該交易將在10月23日波音第三季度業績後定價。然而，一些分析師認爲，公司可能會推遲籌集資金，直到正在進行的罷工解決，該罷工每天都在造成數千萬美元的損失。
"The timing of any equity raise is still unclear but market consensus is that it should be done after the labor strike is resolved and earnings provide some visibility of its impact on current and future cash flows," said Michael Barr, senior research analyst at Neuberger Berman.
紐伯格伯曼的高級研究分析師邁克爾·巴爾表示，「任何權益籌資的時機仍不明確，但市場普遍認爲，應在勞工罷工解決之後，並且收益提供一些對當前和未來現金流影響的可見性後再進行。」
Boeing has faced regulatory scrutiny, production delays and customer confidence issues since a January incident in which a door panel blew off a 737 MAX midair. The company's shares have declined more than 40% year-to-date.
自一月份一起737 MAX飛機上的一起事故中出現門板被吹飛以來，波音面臨着監管審查、生產延誤和客戶信心問題。該公司的股價今年下跌超過40%。
Additionally, Boeing has been burning through cash throughout 2024, leading to the decision to raise funds. The company also secured a $10 billion credit agreement with major lenders such as Bank of America, Citibank, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Inc.
此外，波音在2024年一直在進行資金消耗，導致做出籌集資金決定。該公司還與美國銀行、花旗銀行、高盛和摩根大通等主要貸款人達成了一項100億美元的信貸協議。
Given Boeing's high debt load, the Reuters report indicates raising equity capital is seen as the company's only viable option to protect its credit rating. Rating agencies, including S&P, Moody's and Fitch, have warned that Boeing's credit rating could be downgraded to junk if the company raises additional debt without retiring $11 billion in debt due by February 2026.
鑑於波音高額負債，路透社的報告指出，籌集股本資本被視爲該公司保護信用評級的唯一可行選擇。包括標準普爾、穆迪和惠譽在內的評級機構警告稱，如果公司未能償還到2026年2月到期的110億美元債務而又增加債務，波音的信用評級可能會被降級至垃圾級。
