Boeing is shoring up its finances while navigating a labor dispute that could complicate its production recovery.

On August 24, 2026, Boeing locked in a new $3.0 billion, 364-day revolving credit agreement, replacing a previous facility of the same size that expired the same day. Citibank acts as administrative agent and JPMorgan Chase as syndication agent on the deal.

BA stock opened at $209.84 on Friday, giving the company a market cap of roughly $165.85 billion. The stock sits below both its 50-day moving average of $220.60 and its 200-day moving average of $221.36.

The new credit line runs until August 23, 2027. Boeing has the option to convert outstanding borrowings into term loans or request a further 364-day extension.

Commitment fees on the new facility range from 0.125% to 0.300% per annum, depending on Boeing’s credit rating. Borrowings tied to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate will carry Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.250% to 1.700%.

Credit Facility Extended on Two Fronts

Boeing also amended its two existing five-year revolving credit agreements. Both were extended by an additional 365 days. The 2024 five-year agreement now holds $4.0 billion in total commitments and runs to May 15, 2030. The 2023 five-year agreement keeps $3.0 billion in commitments and expires August 24, 2029.

A new covenant across the amended agreements requires Boeing to maintain liquidity of at least $5.0 billion. The 364-day deal also restricts consolidated debt from exceeding 60% of total capital.

Institutional investors and hedge funds own 64.82% of BA stock. Alyeska Investment Group raised its position by 21,742.7% in Q2, picking up 443,334 additional units worth roughly $96.4 million.

Analyst sentiment is mixed. Barclays downgraded Boeing to underweight on August 11. Wolfe Research cut it from outperform to hold the same day. UBS started coverage with a buy rating. Tigress Financial lifted its price target to $305. The average analyst price target sits at $272.58, with a consensus rating of Moderate Buy.

Labor Dispute Adds Uncertainty

Boeing engineers and technical workers voted to reject a four-year contract proposal and authorized a strike. Union negotiators are set to resume talks Monday.

Boeing has reportedly posted contractor job listings for engineering and technical roles as the dispute continues, a move that may further strain relations with the union.

On the defense side, the Pentagon awarded Boeing a sole-source F-15 sustainment contract with a potential ceiling of $131.2 billion through 2037. Only a smaller portion has been obligated so far.

In its most recent earnings report on July 28, Boeing posted a loss of $0.76 per share, missing the consensus estimate of ($0.34). Revenue came in at $24.56 billion, up 8% year-over-year and slightly above the $24.26 billion consensus.

Analysts expect Boeing to post full-year earnings per share of ($0.87).
