Alllllrighty Then Breaking Down the Bird Business
Alrighty then fellow Earthlings Ace Ventura Pet Detective here reporting live from the scene of… well my office which smells suspiciously of ferret. Turns out the big cheese himself Donald Trump dropped a bombshell smoother than a dolphin's skin during a chat with Sean Hannity. He claims China's gonna snag 200 Boeing jets. Two hundred That's like a whole lotta peanuts for my furry friends back home. Now that's what I call talkin' turkey It seems like the boys at Boeing might be doing the rhino that is if the deal is as real as a rhino!
Boeing's Decade-Long Dry Spell Could Be Over
For almost ten years Boeing hasn't seen a major order from China which is longer than I've gone without talking to a monkey. Their rival Airbus has been swooping in like a hawk eyeing a field mouse. But hold on to your toupees folks because this could change everything. Word on the street is this could be a game-changer for the company. I'd hate to see Boeing suffer the same fate as Snowflake after Einhorn met him...poor Snowflake [CONTENT]. Check out this report about Snapchat Slashes Workforce AI to Blame. What a time to be alive
Analysts Weigh In Could It Be More?
The brainiacs over at Jefferies thought China might be buying up to 500 of those metal birds. Trump only mentioned 200 so maybe there's more to this story than meets the eye. I've seen bigger surprises in my toilet that's saying something
Ortberg's Optimism Pre-Announcement
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg hinted last month that the U.S.-China pow-wow could be a 'meaningful opportunity' for an aircraft order. He played it coy on the exact number, but he did say it was a 'big number'. Sounds like he was playing his cards close to his chest which is exactly what I do when I'm trying to hide evidence from the Miami PD.
Market Reaction Not Exactly Taking Off
Despite the headline-grabbing news Boeing shares dipped more than 4% in early trading. It's like when I try to impress a lady with my detective skills and accidentally set her cat on fire. Sometimes things just don't go as planned. But hey maybe it'll bounce back who knows These markets they are crazy
Is This Deal Legit Time Will Tell
So there you have it folks A potential deal for 200 Boeing jets to China. Will it happen Will it be more Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure I'll be watching this story like a hawk. And if it turns out to be a load of hooey I'll be there to sniff it out... just like I sniff out a missing poodle
