As Boeing Workers Enter Second Month Of Strike, Rival Airbus Reportedly Plans To Cut 2,500 Jobs
As Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) grapples with a prolonged strike by its factory workers, Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY) has reportedly decided to cut up to 2,500 jobs in its Defence & Space division. This move comes in response to significant financial setbacks in its satellite projects.
波音公司(纽交所:BA)正在应对其工厂工人长期罢工的困境，而空中客车集团(adr:EADSY)据报道已决定在其国防与空间事业部裁员多达2,500人。此举是对其卫星项目出现重大财务挫折的回应。
What Happened: The European aerospace leader plans to implement these reductions, representing 7% of the division's workforce, by mid-2026. The information was disclosed by two anonymous sources, as the official announcement is still pending, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
事件经过: 这家欧洲航空航天业领袖计划到2026年中实施这些裁员，占部门工作人员总数的7%。据路透社周三报道，消息来源于两名匿名人士透露，官方公告仍在等待中。
Meanwhile, Boeing's workers, demanding better wages and pensions, have entered the second month of their strike. A significant rally was held in Seattle, increasing the pressure on CEO Kelly Ortberg to address the workers' demands. Despite Boeing's recent announcement of 17,000 job cuts, the workers remain resolute. Washington state Congressional Democrats have urged both Boeing and the union to reach a fair agreement, acknowledging the workers' vital contributions.
与此同时，波音公司的工人们要求更好的工资和养老金，已经进入了第二个月的罢工。在西雅图举行了一次重要的集会，加大了对首席执行官凯利·奥特伯格解决工人诉求的压力。尽管波音最近宣布裁员1.7万人，但工人们仍坚定不移。华盛顿州的国会民主党敦促波音和工会达成公平协议，承认工人的重要贡献。
Why It Matters: The aerospace industry is currently navigating a challenging landscape. Airbus recently secured 85 new orders, including a significant purchase from Air India Ltd., highlighting its ongoing demand. However, the decision to cut jobs reflects the financial pressures in its Defence & Space division.
为什么重要: 航空航天业目前正在应对艰难的形势。空中客车最近获得了85份新订单，其中包括来自印度航空有限公司的重大采购，突显其持续需求。然而，裁员决定反映了其国防与空间事业部的财务压力。
Meanwhile, aerospace stocks have seen impressive returns, with the iShares US Aerospace & Defense ETF ITA showing a 22% year-to-date increase in 2024. Analysts, like RBC's Ken Herbert, have noted the industry's strong performance but question whether companies like Boeing and Airbus can sustain their high valuations amid geopolitical tensions.
与此同时，航空航天股票取得了令人瞩目的回报，iShares美国航空航天与国防ETF ITA今年迄今呈现出22%的增长。像RBC的肯·赫伯特等分析师指出，行业表现强劲，但质疑像波音和空中客车这样的公司是否能在地缘政治紧张局势中维持他们的高估值。
Price Action: As per Benzinga Pro, Airbus stock closed at $36.91 on Tuesday while Boeing closed at $36.85.
股价走势: 根据彭博社报道，周二空中客车股价收于36.91美元，而波音收于36.85美元。
