Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31

Boeing's risk profile deteriorated materially, driven by compounding operational, labor, and balance sheet pressures: $8.4B in 777X reach-forward losses, a 101-day IAM strike, $15.5B in near-term debt obligations, and a China delivery pause from tariff escalation collectively signal a stressed operating environment. The Spirit acquisition closed, replacing deal-execution risk with concrete integration, Airbus service obligation, and fixed-price contract exposure risks. Two easing items — reduced government contract concentration and removal of a customer credit risk disclosure — are modest offsets that do not materially change the overall trajectory.
