Goldman said Boeing benefits from fast emerging growth, a weak dollar, and high oil prices, none of which occurring. Additionally, the firm said demand for new aircraft is slowing due to overcapacity issues at many carriers and economic conditions are deteriorating in areas that make up large portions of Boeing's backlog. Goldman continues to believe Boeing shares should be sold and reiterates its Sell rating and reduced its price target on shares to $119 from $128.

Citi lowered the firm's price target on Boeing to $252 from $263 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The analyst says the fundamental outlook for commercial aerospace and Boeing has not changed as demand for new aircraft remains robust and there are only two major competitors that can fulfill it. While Boeing has stumbled on execution, this is not a permanent state, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Once fixed, Boeing's balance sheet repair will be the focus, as it should be, says Citi. The firm, however, sees no quick fix, and believes patience is required.

Moody's placed the Baa2 senior unsecured rating and Prime-2 short-term rating of Boeing on review for downgrade. The rating outlook was previously stable. "Placing the ratings on review for downgrade follows Moody's belief that Boeing will be unable to deliver 737 narrow-body aircraft at the volumes required for it to materially expand its free cash flow and retire debt in a reasonable timeframe," the ratings agency said in a statement. The aftereffects of the door plug ejection on Alaska Airlines flight 1282 on January 6, and investments in components and parts inventory in an attempt to reduce travelled work in the production of 737s will result in about $4.5B of negative free cash flow in Q1, it points out. Moody's says Boeing's cash will fall well below $10B come March 31.

Japan looks to collaborate with the private sector to develop a next-generation passenger aircraft, hoping to avoid the pitfalls that doomed Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' (MHVYF) SpaceJet by encouraging the participation of multiple companies and helping create technology standards, Nikkei's Riho Nagao reports. The project is expected to explore propulsion systems beyond jet engines that are mainstream now, including the development of hydrogen-combustion engines, the report says. Other publicly traded companies in the space include Boeing (BA) and Airbus (EADSY). Reference Link
