CNN News Analysis: Boeing's Place in the Dow Jones Under Scrutiny
Boeing's Continued Struggles in the Dow
CNN news examines the mounting challenges faced by Boeing, which have raised serious questions about its inclusion in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Once celebrated as a cornerstone of the US economy, Boeing has struggled to report an annual profit since 2018, accumulating core operating losses of $33.3 billion. Analysts are now saying it may no longer belong in the prestigious index.
Key Reasons for Boeing's Declining Position
- Ongoing federal investigations into company practices
- Production issues limiting deliveries of the 737 Max
- Credit rating facing downgrade to junk bond status
- Loss of public trust following multiple safety incidents
As Boeing's challenges mount, experts like Ron Epstein and Sam Stovall suggest the need for a clearer assessment of what companies remain in the Dow. With the potential for a shift to more profitable aerospace companies, the pressure is on for Boeing to redefine its role in the market.
