Boeing (BA) has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud charge surrounding two fatal 737 MAX crashes from 2018 and 2019. The case was brought back into the spotlight after US prosecutors said the enterprise failed to comply with the 2021 settlement agreement over those crashes. Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst George Ferguson joins Morning Brief to unpack the news and what it means for Boeing’s future.
Ferguson believes Boeing’s plea deal is positive for the enterprise as they tackle mounting legal issues, explaining, “That’s going to help them focus on the most important thing to do with the enterprise, which is to build more airplanes, generate more funds movement, and generate earnings. We’re really looking for a strong rebound for the enterprise in the back half of the year.” He adds that, combined with Boeing’s decision to repurchase Spirit Aerosystems (SPR), the enterprise should be able to improve the quality and turnaround of its plane manufacturing.
However, he notes that it’s not all good news for Boeing moving forward. Ferguson points to the enterprise’s “sullied” reputation following the deadly crashes and emergency incidents on its planes. In addition, the enterprise’s guilty plea could pose a roadblock in future government contracts.
