Is White House Pressure Curbing Boeing's Cash Flow?
Cash flow matters to (NYSE: BA). Not only does Boeing need to fund a new narrowbody airplane within the next decade, but it also needs to pay down the debt built up during the lockdowns and 737 MAX groundings. However, its cash flow generation could be coming under pressure. President Trump's executive orders aimed at ensuring defense contractors deliver on time. Here's the lowdown.
The company's consolidated debt stood at $54.1 billion at the end of 2025, while its cash and marketable securities totaled $29.4 billion, resulting in $24.7 billion in net debt. It also burned through $1.9 billion in cash in 2025. Meanwhile, the former CEO, Dave Calhoun, is on record as saying a new narrowbody would cost $50 billion to develop.
In addition, Boeing needs to support the recently acquired Spirit AeroSystems, its electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) business, Wisk, the ramp-up of 737 deliveries, the inventory build for the delayed 777X program, and customer considerations related to the 777X delay.
