Jefferies Cuts Boeing Price Target Ahead of Q3 Report
Boeing's (BA) shares were in focus after Jefferies lowered its price target ahead of the company's Q3 report. The firm cut its target to $265 from $295, while maintaining a 'Buy' rating.
Jefferies expects Boeing to post a third-quarter loss of $0.55 per share, below the consensus loss of $0.11 per share. This estimate is based on wider losses in the Commercial Airplanes segment.
BofA analyst Ronald Epstein noted that the recent selloff looked 'a bit dramatic' and pointed to a potential SPEEA strike as a near-term risk.
