Against this backdrop, Wolfe Research searched for stocks with a high free cash flow yield — that is, a comparison of a company's free cash flow to its market capitalization. Free cash flow refers to the amount of cash leftover after a company has paid its expenses. A higher free cash flow yield means the company is generating more cash, which it can then reinvest back into its business for further growth. With an estimated 2024 free cash flow yield of 5%, Lockheed Martin also made the list. IBM has an estimated 2024 free cash flow yield of 6%.

Calhoun told CNBC on Monday that the decision to retire was "100%" his own and that he would be involved in finding his successor. "We need someone to fix Boeing," one major airline executive, who wasn't authorized to speak to the media, told CNBC after Boeing announced the management shake-up Monday. "I want somebody who knows how to handle a big, long-cycled business like ours," Calhoun told CNBC in an interview Monday while announcing his departure. Four-year Boeing board member Steve Mollenkopf, an ex-Qualcomm CEO who will take over as independent chairman of the board, will lead the search.

Boeing CEO David Calhoun will step down from the embattled plane maker at the end of the year as part of a broad management shakeup Monday after a series of mishaps at one of America's iconic manufacturers. Stephanie Pope, the company's chief operating officer for less than three months, has taken over leadership of the key division. Boeing has been under intense pressure since early January, when a panel blew off a brand-new Alaska Airlines 737 Max. Airline executives have expressed their frustration with the company, and even minor incidents involving Boeing jets have attracted extra attention. Pope, 51, was promoted to Boeing chief operating officer only in January.

Embraer delivered 43 aircraft in the quarter that ended in September, up 30% from the same period of 2022, including 15 commercial and 28 executive jets. CEO Francisco Gomes Neto told Reuters last month that the firm was confident it would meet its outlook for aircraft deliveries in 2023, seen growing by about a quarter, and expects to be able to maintain that pace next year.

A Boeing 737 MAX-10 lands over the Spirit AeroSystems logo during a flying display at the 54th International Paris Air Show at Le Bourget Airport near Paris, France, June 22, 2023. Spirit said it burned through $211 million of cash in the second quarter, adding that cash flow will not recover until the 2024-2025 time period. Analysts questioned whether Spirit would have to renegotiate labor contracts with Boeing and Airbus. Seifman said it is unclear what Boeing will do to help Spirit improve its financial health. "We instead believe Boeing and Airbus are likely to continue to contribute customer advances, allowing Spirit to benefit only as production rates improve," he said.

"It's more of an evolutionary technology than a revolutionary technology." But Cowen managing director Cai von Rumohr said investors should be prepared for timelines to be pushed back, as this is still considered "early-stage tech." "Given the push for climate and to basically reduce carbon emissions, I think, at some point, there's going to be a market," von Rumohr said. The outlook is still clouded by many variables, von Rumohr said. "It's definitely an important investment opportunity for investors," Moeller said.

☆ Spirit AeroSystems union workforce approves new contract, ending strike at Kansas plant

REUTERS/Benoit Tessier/File PhotoWASHINGTON, June 29 (Reuters) - Spirit AeroSystems (SPR.N) said it would begin resuming operations at its plant in Wichita, Kansas, on Friday, after union workers on Thursday voted to accept a new contract and end a strike that led to a week-long work stoppage. The deal is a boon for Boeing, which is on the verge of increasing MAX production from 31 jets to 38 jets per month. Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stan Deal said on June 18 the production ramp was set to occur "pretty soon." Although Boeing maintains some buffer inventory, analysts had warned a prolonged strike could have forced the company to slow or stop MAX production. The company has been the source of several high-profile production defects on Boeing jets, such the incorrect installation of a bracket on the 737's vertical tail.

☆ Boeing shares fall after new Dreamliner delivery halt
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-24 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

Feb 24 (Reuters) - Boeing Co (BA.N) shares fell 3.2% in premarket trading on Friday after the U.S. planemaker temporarily halted deliveries of its 787 Dreamliner jets over a documentation issue related to a fuselage component. Some analysts said the latest hiccup in 787 deliveries should not result in any design changes and jets in service should continue to fly. Seifman said the brokerage believes this should not result in additional rework and that Boeing can produce the required documentation fairly quickly. Since the resumption of deliveries, production of the 787 has experienced some disruptions as the planemaker battles supply and labor shortages. Earlier this month, Spirit said the process of retrofitting stored fuselages for the 787 jets was taking longer than expected.
