Fitch and Moody’s weigh in on potential impact of ongoing strike

  • Boeing’s credit rating at risk due to prolonged strike
  • Fitch Ratings warns of limited headroom for extended strike
  • Moody’s places Boeing ratings on review for downgrade

Fitch Ratings has warned that Boeing’s credit rating could be at risk if the ongoing strike continues for an extended period, as it has limited headroom to withstand the financial impact. The ratings agency stated that a strike similar to the 57-day strike in 2008 could result in a negative rating action unless new liquidity is added in a credit-conscious manner. Moody’s has also placed Boeing’s ratings on review for downgrade, including its Baa3 senior unsecured rating and P-3 commercial paper rating. Both agencies are monitoring the situation closely.
