Spirit AeroSystems Hldgs

Spirit AeroSystems manufactures aerostructures, particularly fuselages, cockpits, wing sections, engine pylons, and nacelles for commercial and military aircraft. The company was spun out of Boeing in 2005 to become the largest independent supplier of aerostructures for commercial aircraft. Boeing and Airbus are the firm's primary customers—Boeing represented roughly 60% and Airbus roughly 20% of revenue in recent years. The company is highly exposed to Boeing's beleaguered 737 program, which accounts for nearly half the company's revenue. The company plans to be acquired by and reintegrated into Boeing in mid-2025.

Japan Airlines Co. flight JL8696 made an emergency landing at Kansai Airport on Monday evening after a pressurization system failure forced the Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 737-800 into a rapid descent from 32,800 feet.
What Happened: The aircraft, operated by Spring Airlines Japan on a code-share service from Shanghai to Tokyo, diverted to Osaka around 8:50 p.m. local time. All 191 passengers and crew survived without injuries, according to Japanese government officials, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/china/article/3316523/chinese-passengers-describe-aircrafts-violent-plunge-emergency-landing">reported</a> the South China Morning Post.
Pilots alerted air traffic controllers after the aircraft&#8217;s pressurization system triggered an irregularity alert. The system maintains cabin air pressure at safe levels during flight. Passengers reported oxygen masks deployed as the plane descended from above 10,000 meters to 3,000 meters within 20 minutes.
&#8220;The plane started plummeting violently at around 7pm,&#8221; one passenger said, according to the report, describing the descent as life-threatening.
Spring Airlines Japan, established in 2012 through joint investment between Shanghai-based Spring Airlines and JAL, offered passengers 15,000 yen ($104) compensation. Japan Airlines became the holding company in June 2021, retaining a 67% stake.
"My body is still here, but my soul hasn't caught up. My legs are still shaking. When you face life or death, everything else feels trivial," the passenger wrote, according to the report.

Why It Matters: The incident adds to Boeing&#8217;s ongoing safety concerns. The 737 series has experienced numerous global incidents, including at least 12 fatal crashes since 2000. Recent disasters include the December 2024 Jeju Air crash in South Korea, killing 179 people and China Eastern Airlines flight MU5735 in March 2022, which killed 132.
Boeing faces additional scrutiny following the June 12 Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crash in Ahmedabad that killed 260 people. 
Indian authorities recovered the aircraft&#8217;s black box data last week, with investigators from India&#8217;s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau collaborating with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46131852/boeing-787-dreamliner-black-box-recovered-data-under-scrutiny-to-provide-insights-into-fatal-air-india-crash">analyze flight data and cockpit voice recordings</a>.

'Boeing Set To Take Over Spirit In Northern Ireland As Buyer Talks Fail' - Financial Times

The competition regulator in Britain has announced it is proceeding with the preliminary probe into Boeing Co.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) acquisition of Spirit Aerosystems Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPR#NYSE">SPR</a>)
What Happened: The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced it will begin its phase 1 investigation into the deal, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39567358/boeing-to-acquire-spirit-aerosystems-for-4-7b-after-months-of-negotiations">worth $4.7 billion</a>, with a decision to be taken by August 28, Reuters reported on Monday.
Boeing did not immediately respond to<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
"The inquiry by the Competitions and Markets Authority was anticipated and is part of the normal process for acquisitions of this nature," a spokesperson for Spirit cited in the report said.
Why It Matters: Spirit recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45035715/airbus-finalizes-deal-with-spirit-to-take-over-assets-paving-way-for-boeing-acquisition">penned a deal</a> with Boeing's rival aircraft manufacturer, Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSF#OTC">EADSF</a>), to acquire certain assets, which would pave the way for Boeing to acquire Spirit, which spun off from the aerospace giant in 2005.

UK Antitrust Probe Targets Boeing's Spirit Deal As Airbus Sells Off Assets

<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/boeings-4-7-billion-spirit-aerosystems-deal-faces-u-k-antitrust-probe-f4120703">https://www.wsj.com/business/deals/boeings-4-7-billion-spirit-aerosystems-deal-faces-u-k-antitrust-probe-f4120703</a>

'Boeing's $4.7 Billion Spirit AeroSystems Deal Faces U.K. Antitrust Probe'- WSJ

WIIM

Spirit AeroSystems shares are trading lower in sympathy with Boeing following the Air India Dreamliner crash.

Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSF#OTC">EADSF</a>) CEO Christian Scherer says the aircraft manufacturer can reach its 2025 delivery target despite delays due to supply chain issues.
What Happened: The company, which is targeting 820 aircraft deliveries in 2025, is "cautiously hopeful" despite over 40 aircraft frames waiting to be fitted with engines, Reuters reported on Thursday.
"We haven&#8217;t changed our (delivery) guidance. I caution you not to extrapolate too much from monthly numbers. There is a gradual increase in output of engines that we get from CFM. The reason we have not changed our outlook for the year is because we believe that between now and the end of the year we will get the engines,&#8221; Scherer said.
The aircraft manufacturer sources its engines from CFM, which also supplies the engines that power Boeing Co.'s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 737 Max Aircraft.
Scherer says Airbus can meet its production target of 75 units of single-isle aircraft like the Airbus A320 by 2027. "We are just cruising past 60 (a month). We are trending in the right direction into the 60s," the report said.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as the global aircraft industry is dealing with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43865891/elon-musks-involvement-key-to-solving-boeings-air-force-one-delivery-crisis-report">supply chain constraints</a>. Recently, Boeing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44896693/boeing-secures-new-stocks-of-crucial-nuts-and-bolts-used-in-737-max-production-amid-chinas-import-ban-report">replenished its stockpile</a> of crucial nuts used in the production of its best-selling 737 Max aircraft.
Boeing has endured a tough spell in recent years over quality control and safety issues with its aircraft. Most recently, A London-bound <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899174/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-ba-stock-falls-over-5-in-thursday-pre-market">Boeing 787 Dreamliner</a> aircraft operated by Air India crashed moments after it took off from Ahmedabad in India&#8217;s Gujarat state on Thursday. The flight was said to be carrying over 240 people onboard.
The FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration, also recently proposed a flightworthiness report for the company after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44811150/faulty-bathroom-latches-could-cost-boeing-34-million-following-faa-directive">faulty bathroom latches</a> resulted in a passenger being stuck inside the lavatory of a Boeing aircraft during a flight.
Airbus recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45035715/airbus-finalizes-deal-with-spirit-to-take-over-assets-paving-way-for-boeing-acquisition">finalized a deal</a> with Spirit Aerosystems Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPR#NYSE">SPR</a>) to acquire assets of the company, including a facility in Kinston, North Carolina, as well as another facility in France. Spirit was recently acquired by Boeing.

Spirit AeroSystems Hldgs Q1 Adj. EPS $(4.25) Misses $(1.14) Estimate, Sales $1.52B Miss $1.74B Estimate

Spirit Aerosystems Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPR#NYSE">SPR</a>) shares traded higher in the premarket on Monday following a definitive agreement with Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSY#OTC">EADSY</a>) on Sunday to transfer ownership of specific assets and sites related to Airbus aerostructure production.
After the completion of this transaction, Airbus will assume ownership of the Spirit assets at the Kinston site in North Carolina, U.S. (A350 fuselage sections), the St. Nazaire site in France (A350 fuselage sections) and the Casablanca site in Morocco (A321 and A220 components).
The assets also include the production of A320 and A350 wing components in Prestwick, Scotland, the production of A220 pylons in Wichita, Kansas, U.S., and the production of A220 wings in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Spirit AeroSystems plans to sell its Subang, Malaysia site to a third party.
If no suitable buyer is found, Airbus will also take ownership of the production of the A220 mid-fuselage at the Belfast site.
Additionally, the assets in Subang, Malaysia, related to Airbus programs will be acquired by Airbus if no suitable buyer is identified before the transaction closes.
The compensation amount has been revised to reflect this updated transaction scope, consistent with the binding term sheet agreement announced on July 1, 2024.
As part of the deal, Spirit AeroSystems will pay Airbus $439 million, subject <a target="_blank" href="https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2025-04-airbus-signs-definitive-agreement-with-spirit-aerosystems" rel="noreferrer noopener">to </a>certain closing adjustments.
Moreover, Airbus has signed a memorandum of agreement with Spirit AeroSystems, agreeing to provide non-interest-bearing lines of credit totaling $200 million to support Spirit AeroSystems&#8217; work on Airbus programs.
This divestiture is expected to close alongside Spirit&#8217;s previously disclosed acquisition <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39567358/boeing-to-acquire-spirit-aerosystems-for-4-7b-after-months-of-negotiations" rel="noreferrer noopener">by </a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39567358/boeing-to-acquire-spirit-aerosystems-for-4-7b-after-months-of-negotiations" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Boeing Company</a><a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39567358/boeing-to-acquire-spirit-aerosystems-for-4-7b-after-months-of-negotiations" rel="noreferrer noopener"> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)</a>.

Spirit AeroSystems Hands Over Key Airbus Programs In $439 Million Asset Transfer Deal

Airbus SE (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EADSF#OTC">EADSF</a>) has agreed to take over assets owned by Spirit Aerosystems Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPR#NYSE">SPR</a>) in a boost to the manufacturer's acquisition by Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>).
What Happened: Airbus will acquire several of Spirit's assets across the globe as part of the deal, including a facility in Kinston, North Carolina, as well as another facility in France. Both facilities manufacture crucial fuselage sections for Airbus's A350 aircraft, Spirit announced in an official statement on Monday.&nbsp;
Others include a facility in Casablanca, Morocco, where the company manufactures A321 and A220 components, as well as parts of facilities in Belfast, Scotland, and Wichita.
The deal stipulates that if no other suitable buyers are found, Airbus will also acquire assets in Subang, Malaysia, related to Airbus programs.
"For many years, Spirit&#8217;s collaboration with Airbus allowed us to deliver aerostructures for some of their most important aircraft programs," said Irene Esteves, Executive VP and CFO at Spirit. She added that this deal will be a boost for the company&#8217;s acquisition by Boeing. 
Airbus will provide Spirit with a $200 million non-interest-bearing credit line, while Spirit will hand over $439 million to Airbus for the assets.
Why It Matters: The sale of assets clears the way for the Spirit's acquisition by Boeing, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39567358/boeing-to-acquire-spirit-aerosystems-for-4-7b-after-months-of-negotiations">was announced last year</a>, with Boeing paying $4.7 billion after months of negotiations. It's worth noting that Spirit spun off from Boeing in 2005.
The deal with Airbus can also be a boost for Boeing, which is reeling from the effects of the ongoing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888512/boeing-jet-returns-to-us-amid-escalating-tariff-tensions-with-china"> U.S.-China trade war</a> after the CCP announced a halt on all imports of aircraft made by Boeing into the country.
Boeing also recently secured a deal for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44896693/boeing-secures-new-stocks-of-crucial-nuts-and-bolts-used-in-737-max-production-amid-chinas-import-ban-report">crucial fastening components</a> like nuts and bolts for its best-selling 737 Max model, production of which could've been affected had the manufacturer not replenished its stocks.&nbsp;
Price Action: BA is currently trading for $177.95, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard"> Benzinga Pro data</a>.
