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(紐交所:BA)正在應對其工廠工人長期罷工的困境，而空中客車集團(adr:EADSY)據報道已決定在其國防與空間事業部裁員多達2,500人。此舉是對其衛星項目出現重大財務挫折的回應。
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.
事件經過: 這家歐洲航空航天業領袖計劃到2026年中實施這些裁員，佔部門工作人員總數的7%。據路透社週三報道，消息來源於兩名匿名人士透露，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.
與此同時，波音公司的工人們要求更好的工資和養老金，已經進入了第二個月的罷工。在西雅圖舉行了一次重要的集會，加大了對首席執行官凱利·奧特伯格解決工人訴求的壓力。儘管波音最近宣佈裁員1.7萬人，但工人們仍堅定不移。華盛頓州的國會民主黨敦促波音和工會達成公平協議，承認工人的重要貢獻。
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.
爲什麼重要: 航空航天業目前正在應對艱難的形勢。空中客車最近獲得了85份新訂單，其中包括來自印度航空有限公司的重大采購，突顯其持續需求。然而，裁員決定反映了其國防與空間事業部的財務壓力。
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.
與此同時，航空航天股票取得了令人矚目的回報，iShares美國航空航天與國防ETF ITA今年迄今呈現出22%的增長。像RBC的肯·赫伯特等分析師指出，行業表現強勁，但質疑像波音和空中客車這樣的公司是否能在地緣政治緊張局勢中維持他們的高估值。
Price Action: As per Benzinga Pro, Airbus stock closed at $36.91 on Tuesday while Boeing closed at $36.85.
股價走勢: 根據彭博社報道，週二空中客車股價收於36.91美元，而波音收於36.85美元。
