It’s that plus the fact that Boeing is being run by financial people not engineers. Financial people who over the past decade have spent money on stock buybacks instead of investing in R&D. Financial people who have the mindset that increasing stockholder value at all costs is the most important goal at the expense of innovation, new products and long term growth. A mindset that is basically parasitic in that it siphons all the free cash flow and operation income into stockholder enrichment at the expense of the company. A mindset that has destroyed American companies and the middle class while enriching the globalist Wall Street financiers like BlackRock, Vanguard or mutual funds who are the largest individual stockholders in such companies. Institutional investors own over 37% of Boeing.
