Boeing plans to raise over $15 billion in capital as early as Monday, utilizing a mix of common shares and mandatory convertible bonds to address financial challenges exacerbated by an ongoing strike.
Despite a nearly two-to-one rejection of Boeing's latest offer by machinists, the company has experienced a cash burn and announced a $6 billion quarterly loss.
It also secured a $10 billion credit agreement with major lenders. Boeing faces potential credit downgrades to junk status if it raises new debt without addressing $11 billion in maturing obligations by February 2026.
