Stock Update (NYSE:BA): Boeing CEO says sales at risk due to U.S. Ex-Im paralysis

[Reuters] – Boeing Co is on the verge of losing sales due to the lack of a quorum on the U.S. Export-Import Bank, a situation that prevents it from providing financing for sizeable transactions, Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg said on Thursday. The Senate Banking Committee should allow a vote on an EXIM board appointment, Muilenburg said at the trade-finance agency’s annual conference in Washington. The appointment has been held up for months, leaving only two board members, not enough to approve loans or guarantees of more than $10 million, which effectively blocks deals for Boeing and power equipment maker General Electric Co. Read more on this. The Boeing Company (BA) , valued at $83.93B, began trading this morning at $127.00. During today’s session, BA traded between $126.62 to $128.94 with a trailing 52-week range being $102.10 to $155.50. BA shares are currently priced at 15.05x this year’s forecasted earnings, which makes them relatively expensive compared to the industry’s 12.91x forward p/e ratio. And for passive income investors, the company pays shareholders $4.36 per share annually in dividends, yielding 3.45%. Consensus earnings for the current quarter by the 16 sell-side analysts covering the stock is an estimate of $1.82 per share, which would be $0.15 worse than the year-ago quarter and a $0.37 sequential decrease. The full-year EPS estimate is $8.50, which would be a $0.78 better than last year. The quarterly earnings estimate is predicated on a consensus revenue forecast of $21.81 Billion. If reported, that would be a 1.53% decrease over the year-ago quarter. Recently, Canaccord Genuity downgraded BA from Buy to Hold (Mar 3, 2016). Previously, Buckingham Research upgraded BA from Underperform to Neutral.
