According to informed sources, Boeing has proposed a stock-based transaction to acquire Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc., valuing the major aerospace supplier at approximately $35 per share. Bloomberg News reported this information on Monday.
Boeing's acquisition offer is about 5.8% higher than Spirit's closing price of $33.07 on Monday, indicating Boeing's confidence in Spirit AeroSystems' future growth potential. As a crucial supplier to Boeing, Spirit AeroSystems primarily manufactures aircraft components for Boeing, and the two companies have a long-standing partnership in the aerospace industry.
In its response, Spirit AeroSystems stated that the company will continue to focus on providing the highest quality products and services to its customers. This suggests that despite the potential acquisition, the company will maintain high production standards and customer service levels.
Boeing has not yet responded to a request for comment from Reuters. Boeing's intention to acquire Spirit demonstrates its active efforts to consolidate and expand its control within the aviation supply chain, thereby enhancing its competitiveness in the global market.
If successful, this transaction will have a profound impact on both Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems. It will help Boeing further optimize its supply chain and improve production efficiency while potentially offering Spirit AeroSystems new development opportunities and resource support. Industry insiders will continue to monitor the transaction's developments to assess its overall impact on the aerospace sector.
