Company Report

Boeing: Spirit Aero Systems Deal Makes Good Sense; Fair Value Estimates Unchanged

Boeing will take over Spirit Aero Systems later in 2024, exchanging between .18 and .25 shares of its stock per outstanding share of Spirit Aero, depending on the market price of Boeing shares in the weeks preceding the deal's closing. Their agreement values Spirit Aero at $37.25 per share, a $6.25 premium to our fair value estimate. We see the price as justifiable on two grounds: 1) as an all-stock deal, Spirit shareholders may warrant some compensation for interim uncertainty about the value of the currency they are accepting; 2) but more importantly, Spirit will be worth more as part of Boeing than as a standalone enterprise.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Boeing has a large backlog that covers several years of production for the most popular aircraft, which gives us confidence in aggregate demand for aerospace products.

Bears

Boeing's reputation for engineering prowess may have taken a permanent hit since repeated manufacturing flaws in 737 MAX jets have hampered Boeing's assembly pace and disrupted airlines' and passengers' schedules.
