Boeing To Have Minimal Impact Of Guilty Plea Over Safety Failures, Say Experts: 'Settlement Gives You The Idea That Justice Can Be Bought...Very Cheaply'
In a recent development, Boeing (NYSE:BA) has agreed to plead guilty to defrauding the U.S. government over safety failures. However, experts predict that the impact on the company will be minimal.
最近，波音公司（纽交所：BA）已同意认罪，因安全问题欺诈美国政府。然而，专家预测公司受到的影响将是最小的。
What Happened: According to experts, Boeing's stock price, credit rating, or U.S. government revenue will have a negligible impact, Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
据报道，波音的股价、信用评级或美国政府的收入都不会受到影响。
Moody's Jonathan Root said, "The dollar amount of the fine is of a size that is not material to our view of the credit profile,"
穆迪的乔纳森·鲁特说：“罚款数额不足以影响我们对信用评级的看法。”
"The problem is this settlement gives you the idea that justice can be bought — and bought very cheaply," said Prataj Chatterjee, executive director of watchdog group CorpWatch.
CorpWatch的执行董事普拉塔杰·查特吉表示：“这项和解让你觉得正义是可以被买到的，而且价格很便宜。”
Specialists in government contracting also anticipate that Boeing will retain its ability to supply the Pentagon. Paul Seidman, a partner at Seidman & Associates, said it would be "unusual: for a large firm like Boeing to be suspended or disbarred as they are essential to defense and competition is limited.
政府合同专业人士预计，波音将保留向五角大楼供应的能力。Seidman & Associates的合伙人保罗·赛德曼表示，像波音这样的大型公司被暂停或取消资格很不寻常，因为它们对防御至关重要，而竞争是有限的。
Why It Matters: Boeing reached a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice to admit to misleading aviation regulators about flight control software that led to two fatal crashes of the 737 Max. The plea deal includes a fine of approximately $487 million, half of which has already been paid by Boeing. The company is also required to invest $455 million into safety and compliance programs.
为什么它很重要：波音公司已经与美国司法部达成和解，承认向航空监管机构误导飞控软件的问题导致了两起737 Max的致命坠机事故。认罪协议包括约4.87亿美元的罚款，其中一半已经由波音支付。该公司还需要投资4.55亿美元用于安全和合规计划。
Former Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, commented on Boeing's market position following years of safety concerns and the plea deal. He stated that the plea deal symbolizes what is wrong with American capitalism.
前劳工部长罗伯特·瑞希（Robert Reich）对波音在经历多年安全问题和认罪协议之后的市场地位进行了评论。他表示，认罪协议象征着美国资本主义的问题所在。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Boeing was trading 0.15% higher at $186.11 on Tuesday pre-market after closing at $185.84 on Monday, as per Benzinga Pro.
