Spirit AeroSystems Lays Off 450 of its WorkersSpirit AeroSystems ( NYSE:SPR ), an aerospace supplier, has announced plans to lay off up to 450 employees in the coming weeks due to slower delivery rates on commercial aircraft. The company is also in talks to be acquired by Boeing, which it spun off from in 2005. Spirit AeroSystems makes fuselages at its Wichita facility for Boeing's bestselling 737 Max plane, which deliveries have slowed due to a door panel blowout and safety crisis at Boeing. Spirit AeroSystems ( NYSE:SPR ) reported a quarterly loss of $616.7 million for the first three months of the year, with about 70% of its revenue last year coming from Boeing. The company is also in talks to be acquired by Boeing, which it spun off from in 2005. Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun said it is "more than likely" that the companies will reach a deal during the second quarter. The company is laying off several hundred members of its workforce in Wichita, Kansas, as it deals with high debt and slowed production at Boeing, its key customer. Spokesman Joe Buccino said the recent slowdown in the delivery rate on commercial programs compels a reduction to the workforce in Wichita. The memo, first reported by Wichita-based KSN, said about 400 employees would be affected. Spirit had already started to limit overtime and hiring as production declines due to lower output of 737 MAX jets following a January mid-air blowout on a Boeing plane. Stock Performance Spirit AeroSystems ( NYSE:SPR ) share is down 0.84% as of the time of writing trading along the 100-day Moving Average (MA) with a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 39.68 which appears to be overbought.

Boeing Under Pressure From DOJ For Breach Of 737 MAX Crash DealBoeing ( NYSE:BA ) has breached an agreement with the Justice Department over the 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people in 2018 and 2019, potentially leading to prosecution. The 2021 Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) meant Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) didn't face charges related to the deaths of 346 people in two 737 Max 8 crashes in 2018 and 2019. Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) paid $2.5 billion and promised to strengthen its compliance program. The DPA expired just two days after the Alaska Airlines blowout, which renewed scrutiny of Boeing's quality-control processes. Safety investigators said the 737 Max involved had left Boeing's factory missing key bolts. The Justice Department said Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) violated the DPA by failing to design, implement, and enforce a compliance and ethics program to prevent and detect violations of US fraud laws throughout its operations. Boeing has until June 13 to respond to the DOJ, and the DOJ is continuing to meet with the families of victims of the 2018 and 2019 crashes to determine whether to bring charges against Boeing. The DOJ will decide whether to prosecute Boeing by July 7. Boeing 0.0% may face fraud charges for violating the terms of its 2021 Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the Department of Justice following the Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 737 MAX crashes. Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) has been charged with fraud following the 737 MAX crashes, which occurred in 2021. The company admitted to deceiving the FAA AEG about the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) and its impact on flight control systems. The Department of Justice (DOJ) stated that a key document published by the FAA AEG lacked information about MCAS, leading to the lack of information in airplane manuals and pilot-training materials for US-based airlines. Victims' families have criticized the deal as too lenient, while Senators have also questioned it during recent Boeing whistleblower hearings. Senator Johnson argued that this was an overt act, and nobody has been held accountable. Boeing ultimately agreed to pay $2.5 billion to defer prosecution, with the DPA providing for a $500 million crash-victim beneficiaries fund to compensate the heirs, relatives, and legal beneficiaries of the 346 passengers who died in the crashes. Despite admitting facts but pledging not guilty, Boeing pled not guilty to the charges at an arraignment on January 26, 2023. The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit published its decision against revising Boeing's DPA on December 15, 2023, but decided the court had ongoing Crime Victims' Rights Act responsibility. The DOJ argues that it is still in time to prosecute Boeing for a violation of the terms of the DPA and to continue investigating Boeing compliance. The DOJ does not reference the Alaska Airlines door plug blowout in its letter to the court.

Examining the Safety Concerns Surrounding Boeing's 787 Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) has asserted that it has not detected any signs of fatigue on the older 787 aircraft that have undergone significant maintenance, as the company defended its twin-aisle aircraft program before a U.S. Senate hearing scheduled for Wednesday. This comes after a Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) whistleblower, Sam Salehpour, alleged last week that the company had disregarded safety concerns related to the assembly of the 787 and 777 jets operating international routes. Salehpour, who is a quality engineer at Boeing, is set to testify at the Senate hearing on the organization's safety culture. Salehpour claims that Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) has neglected to adequately "shim," which involves using a thin material to fill small gaps in a manufactured product, a lapse that could result in premature fatigue failure in certain areas of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner over time. Salehpour's claims, which are being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), encompass observations that he saw workers "jumping on the pieces of the airplane to get them to align." Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) has been dealing with a severe safety crisis that has damaged its reputation since a mid-air panel blowout on a single-aisle plane operated by 737 MAX on January 5th. On a call with journalists on Monday, two senior Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) executives stated that there were no indications of airframe fatigue among the nearly 700 in-service Dreamliner jets that had undergone significant maintenance inspections after six and twelve years. "All of these findings have been shared with the FAA," said Steve Chisholm, Boeing's chief engineer for mechanical and structural engineering. Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) suspended deliveries of the 787 widebody jet for more than a year until August 2022 while the FAA investigated quality issues and manufacturing flaws. In 2021, Boeing disclosed that some 787 airplanes had shims that were not the correct size, and some aircraft had sections that did not meet skin-flatness requirements. According to Lisa Fahl, vice president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes airplane programs engineering, the 787, which was introduced in 2004, had a gap allowance specification of five-thousandths of an inch within a five-inch area, or "the thickness of a human hair." She claimed that reports of workers jumping on plane parts were "not part of our process." Debra Katz, Salehpour's attorney, stated in an email that her client had attempted for years to access data that would address his worries about the safety of gaps in the 787. "Before accepting any data provided by Boeing, it should be confirmed by independent experts and the FAA," Katz advised.

BA LONGBoeing has been in the dumps ever since covid. Financials have taken a huge hit but revenues have started to recover from 58 to 77B since 2020. Of course, this rise in revenue would be expected due to increased travel post-COVID however the net margins (although negative) have greatly reduced from -20% to -2%. Currently Boeing is facing a lot of heat from its lack in quality in their planes. In response, the CEO has been fired and been replaced by formed COO Stephanie Pope. From her responses in the media, she is aware of where Boeing stands as a company and how things need to be turned around, starting with safety procedures and quality inspection. Earnings come out April 24 2024. Likely to be slightly negative news, market will overact due to market sentiment and news in Q1 2024. Earning event proposes a massive buying opportunity as the company has massive stakes in improving in the global transportation and military sector. Forecasts predict roughly mid price target of 246. Post-earnings is either a long bearish move or a start to a slow increase as market recovers from an overreaction.

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun to Step Down Amid Safety CrisisIn a significant development for the aviation industry, Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) CEO Dave Calhoun's impending departure by year-end signals a major shakeup at the aerospace giant. The move comes amidst a deepening safety crisis exacerbated by a mid-air incident involving a 737 MAX plane in January, prompting a wave of management changes aimed at restoring confidence in the beleaguered company. Stan Deal, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, will retire, paving the way for Stephanie Pope to assume leadership in that crucial division. Meanwhile, the appointment of former Qualcomm CEO Steve Mollenkopf as the new chair of the board heralds a fresh chapter in Boeing's leadership. The decision to overhaul Boeing's management structure follows weeks of turmoil, with the January incident serving as the latest blow to the company's reputation and financial performance. The incident, which saw an Alaska Airlines-operated MAX 9 jet experience a mid-air panel blowout, underscored lingering safety concerns and prompted a reevaluation of Boeing's operational practices. Since taking the helm in the aftermath of the 2018 and 2019 crashes that claimed nearly 350 lives, Calhoun has grappled with a series of safety crises and regulatory challenges. Despite efforts to address these issues, Boeing's stock has plummeted, reflecting investors' skepticism about the company's ability to navigate its way out of the crisis. Analysts and investors have welcomed the leadership shakeup as a positive step for Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) but emphasize the importance of selecting the right successor to Calhoun. With the company facing heavy regulatory scrutiny and production constraints, restoring trust and addressing cultural challenges will be paramount for the incoming CEO. Patrick Shanahan, CEO of Spirit AeroSystems and a former Boeing executive, emerges as a potential candidate to lead Boeing through this tumultuous period. His deep industry knowledge and experience could prove instrumental in steering the company towards recovery and rebuilding its reputation. Boeing's crisis has not only strained its relationship with airlines but also provided an opening for its main rival, Airbus, to capitalize on. The recent order wins by Airbus from key Asian customers underscore the urgency for Boeing to address its underlying issues and regain its competitive edge in the market. As Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) braces for a period of transition, the focus shifts to the incoming leadership and their ability to instill a culture of accountability and excellence. With the aerospace industry at a crossroads, the decisions made in the coming months will shape Boeing's trajectory for years to come, with implications reaching far beyond the company itself.

Boeing Stock Plummets Amidst DOJ Investigation & Safety ConcernsBoeing ( NYSE:BA ), the aerospace giant synonymous with innovation and air travel, finds itself in turbulent skies once again as its stock takes a nosedive following reports of a Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation and safety incidents involving its aircraft. The latest blow to Boeing's ( NYSE:BA ) reputation comes as reports surface of injuries resulting from a "technical problem" on a LATAM flight involving a Boeing aircraft. Additionally, the DOJ's probe into an Alaska Airlines flight where a door panel came loose raises further concerns about the company's safety protocols and regulatory compliance. The DOJ's investigation, which includes interviews with pilots, flight attendants, and passengers, could have significant ramifications for Boeing. The scrutiny extends to whether Boeing may have violated a previous settlement related to the infamous 737 MAX crashes in 2018 and 2019. Any findings of non-compliance could result in charges of defrauding the U.S. government or an extension of Boeing's probationary period. These developments compound Boeing's ( NYSE:BA ) already precarious situation, with ongoing investigations into its manufacturing and safety processes. Recent incidents, such as a pilot reporting stuck rudder pedals in a Boeing 737 Max 8 and a "technical event" on a LATAM Airlines flight resulting in injuries to passengers and crew, further underscore the challenges facing the company. Amidst the storm of controversy, Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) has remained tight-lipped, declining to comment on the DOJ's reported investigation. However, Alaska Airlines, one of Boeing's ( NYSE:BA ) major clients, asserts its cooperation with authorities while maintaining that it is not a target of the investigation. The market's response to these developments has been swift and severe, with Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) shares plummeting more than 23% since the beginning of 2024. Investor confidence has been shaken by mounting concerns about Boeing's ability to navigate regulatory scrutiny and ensure the safety of its aircraft. As Boeing ( NYSE:BA ) grapples with the fallout from these incidents, the road ahead appears fraught with challenges. Restoring trust and addressing safety concerns will be paramount for the aerospace giant to regain its footing in the industry. In conclusion, Boeing's ( NYSE:BA ) stock woes underscore the high stakes involved in maintaining safety and compliance standards in the aviation sector. As authorities continue to investigate, the spotlight remains firmly fixed on Boeing's response and its commitment to ensuring the safety of passengers and crew worldwide.

Is BA Boening ready ?On the daily chart BA had big trend up for November and December but then fell with news of issues the the Max model which further developed into an FAA inquiry. In the meanwhile Thailand and India based airlines contracted for more jets and an earnings report beat both lines especially earnings. It would seem forward earnings are fortified by those new contracts. The chart shows price currently sitting at the support of the bottom of the high-volume area of the volume profile and just under the nearby POC line. In confluence, it has been in consolidation at a Fibonacci level. I consider that BA has been accumulating within a narrow range and is now well situated for another leg up. The last trend up was about 50% over 2 months. I will take a long trade here anticipating a similar move sometime soon. Targets are 230 and 250 with call options for August or September also under consideration.

CAn Boeing weather the storm BA LongBA on a daily chart is trading in the bottom portion of its intermediate-term trading range having incurred a series of adverse news catalysts, FAA investigation and loss of trader sentiment. It is now in the lower portion of the high volume area and below the POC line. There are multiple touches of a horizontal support before and after a big earnings beat. The question now is whether BA can mount a good fibonacci retracement of the prior downtrend. I believe that it is quietly acumulating volume and shares at a given price for a solid base from which to make a trending move upside to the Fibonacci levels on the chart and perhaps in time after another good earnings head toward the pivot high of last year. I will go long from here finding good cause to buy at this discount.
