BofA/Merrill analyst Ronald Epstein commented on Day 1 of the Paris Air Show, telling investors that "there were more questions than answers" regarding Boeing's 737 MAX. In a research note to investors, Epstein says his team's conversations with suppliers and other industry participants did not provide additional clarity on the certification of the 737 MAX, and says Boeing appears to be using the show as opportunity to explain what has gone wrong with 737 Max program, adding that he is "surprised" that the 737 MAX is in the position that it is. Epstein also notes that a rebranding effort for the 737 MAX would likely not fix the confidence issues facing the MAX, as "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
