Boeing's Air India tragedy complicates the company's path as it seeks 737 Max settlement approval

The cause of Thursday's devastating crash of an Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner is not yet known, but it could complicate the jet maker's path forward as it tries to finalize an agreement with the US government over two other crashes that happened in the past decade. The aircraft operating from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick was involved in an accident within minutes after takeoff. The number of injured or deceased passengers is unknown. The aircraft was carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members, according to Air India CEO Campbell Wilson. "Investigations will take time," Wilson said. Boeing said Thursday that it is prepared to support Air India. The company's stock dropped 5%. "We are in contact with Air India regarding Flight 171 and stand ready to support them. Our thoughts are with the passengers, crew, first responders and all affected," a spokesperson for Boeing told Yahoo Finance. In international aircraft incidents involving a US-manufactured aircraft, the government of the country where the incident took place leads the investigation. In the event the Indian government requests assistance from US authorities, the US National Transportation Safety Bureau acts as the official US representative, and the US Federal Aviation Administration provides technical support. "We stand ready to launch a team immediately in coordination with the NTSB," an FAA spokesperson told Yahoo Finance, confirming that the FAA is in contact with the NTSB regarding Air India flight AI171. The crash is a major setback for the aerospace giant amid a massive turnaround effort under new CEO Kelly Ortberg following a brutal 2024 sparked by a "door plug" incident on an Alaska Airlines (ALK) flight. A key element of that turnaround is a non-prosecution pact it struck with President Trump's Justice Department last month that would let Boeing out of a criminal trial and guilty plea surrounding two fatal 737 Max 8 crashes that happened in 2018 and 2019. That pact is still not quite complete because a federal judge has yet to sign off — a requirement for the parties to move forward. Reed O'Connor, the federal judge presiding over the agreement and the DOJ's criminal charges against Boeing, is waiting for the families of Max crash victims to file objections to the agreement due June 18. He declined to approve a prior settlement agreement proposed by Boeing and the DOJ. The settlement with Trump's DOJ, which includes $1.1 billion in compensation for victims and fines, was a result that some family members of the crash victims didn't want. Erin Applebaum, one of the attorneys for families of victims who died in the crash of Ethiopian Airlines' 737 Max, said it's too soon to know how Thursday's Dreamliner tragedy may impact the Max US litigation. "Until more is known about the cause of the Air India crash, we will refrain from speculating on how it may affect the case against Boeing," Applebaum said. "For now, our hearts are with everyone who lost loved ones today. The MAX families know all too well the pain of sudden, senseless loss, and we extend our deepest condolences to those now facing that same unimaginable grief." The government said in a court filing that family members of more than 110 crash victims from the fatal 737 Max 8 accidents advised the government that they either support the non-prosecution agreement specifically or support the department's efforts to resolve the case without a trial. Some family members of the crash victims said before the deal was announced that they were not in favor of it and viewed it as a sweetheart deal for the aviation giant at the expense of justice and safety. "The message that is sent to corporate America is: Don't worry about killing your customers. Just treat it as a cost of doing business," said Dr. Javier de Luis, a retired aerospace engineer and MIT lecturer whose sister, Graziella de Luis y Ponce, an interpreter, died in one of the crashes. The latest agreement between Boeing and the DOJ takes into account another 737 Max accident that occurred in January 2024 when a door plug blew off a Boeing-made 737 Max 9 flown by Alaska Airlines. The DOJ notified Boeing that the facts involved in the January accident showed Boeing had breached a deferred prosecution agreement that it reached with the DOJ in January 2021. Last year in July, Boeing reached a plea agreement with the Biden administration that admitted its workers conspired to defraud aviation regulators before the fatal 737 Max 8 crashes killed 346 people.

Stock market today: S&P 500, Nasdaq little changed amid renewed tariff threats, Boeing stock weighs on Dow

US stocks were little changed on Thursday as President Trump again urged the Fed for a jumbo rate cut amid easing inflation pressures despite "take it or leave it" tariff threats on trading partners. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) hovered near the flat line, as component Boeing (BA) slumped in the wake of a deadly plane crash in India. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) gained roughly 0.2%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) also rose about 0.1%. President Trump reiterated his call for a jumbo rate cut from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, calling him a "numbskull." "All he has to do is lower it," Trump said. Stocks edged higher after the S&P 500 snapped this week's run of wins. Investors are adding growing tensions in the Middle East to worries over Trump's trade policy, such as the fragility of the US-China detente. The US dollar sank to its lowest level in three years as fresh price data showed a so-far mild impact from Trump's tariff policies, as wholesale inflation increased less than economists expected. The report came after the consumer counterpart showed an easing in price pressures in the wake of Trump's "reciprocal" tariff hikes in April. Further hints that tariffs are sparing inflation could put the Federal Reserve in a tight spot ahead of its policy meeting next week. Bets on interest rate cuts this year have mounted, but analysts expect officials to maintain their wait-and-see approach to economic data and policy decisions, with September seen as the most likely spot to resume rate cuts. While investor focus is shifting back to the Fed, Wall Street is still closely following the latest twists and turns in Trump's tariff policy in the hunt for clarity.

But Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Congress it's "highly likely" that countries in trade negotiations with the US will see an extension of the 90-day tariff pause, currently set to expire July 9. President Trump reiterated his call for a jumbo rate cut from Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The president spoke at the signing of a resolution targeting California's plan to phase-out gas powered vehicles by 2035. Trump urged Powell to cut rates by 1 percentage point to lower the cost of short-term debt, an ask he's made before. "All he has to do is lower it," said Trump. At one point Trump referred to Powell as a "numbskull". The President reiterated he won't fire Powell, even though he disagrees with his policy and inflation has not be trending higher. "I'm not going to fire him", said Trump. "He was in my office a couple of days ago," he added "I told him... cut your rates now," said Trump. "Lets say there was inflation a year from now, raise your rates — I don't mind." Shares of German biopharmaceutical CureVac (CVAC) soared roughly 39% after its domestic rival BioNTech (BNTX) announced it would acquire the company in an all-stock deal valued at approximately $1.25 billion. The acquisition is aimed at strengthening BioNTech's development of mRNA-based cancer therapies. The US dollar ( sank to its lowest level in three years after the Producer Price Index came in below expectations, showing a milder than expected impact from shifting US trade policy. The dollar against a basket of currencies hovered below 98, its lowest level since 2022. Year to date, the index is down more than 9%. Investors sold greenbacks as tensions between Iran and Israel escalated and Trump renewed tariff threats against US trading partners. US wholesale prices rose modestly last month, a sign that inflationary pressures remain contained. Wednesday's CPI report also pointed to contained inflation, increasing expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton reports: Read more here. Oracle (ORCL) shares jumped 10% early Thursday after the company's fiscal fourth quarter results topped Wall Street's expectations. Oracle's adjusted revenue of $15.9 billion was ahead of the projected $15.6 billion, while its earnings per share of $1.70 surpassed the expected $1.64. The company raised its annual revenue forecast, as it expects strong demand for its AI-related cloud services. "What is clear is that more customers will use the Oracle database to leverage AI," CEO Safra Ada Catz told analysts in a call after the market close Wednesday. "It's been a long wait for people who own the stock because ... they [Oracle] missed the last two quarters, both on the top and the bottom line, despite the fact that they were booking an enormous amount of business," Citizens head of technology equity research Pat Walravens told Yahoo Finance's Julie Hyman on Market Domination Overtime. Analysts at UBS, Cantor Fitzgerald, Deutsche Bank, KeyBanc, and Melius Research raised their price targets on the stock to as high as $240 on Thursday. US stocks pulled back on Thursday as President Trump renewed his threat to impose "take it or leave it" tariffs on trading partners, while Boeing (BA) shares sank in the wake of a deadly crash in India. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell roughly 0.4%, with component Boeing slumping after the crash of an Air India flight involving a Dreamliner jet. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) dropped 0.3%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) also moved 0.3% lower. US trading partners will get letters soon within a week or two that will set their unilateral tariff rates, Trump reiterated on Wednesday. Weekly claims for unemployment benefits remained at their highest level in eight months during the first full week of June while the number of Americans filing for unemployment insurance on an ongoing basis reached the highest level since November 2021 as the US labor market continues to show signs of slowing. Data from the Department of Labor released Thursday morning showed 248,000 initial jobless claims were filed in the week ending June 7, flat from the week prior and above economists' expectations for 242,000. Meanwhile, 1.956 million continuing claims were filed, up from 1.902 million the week prior and the highest level seen since November 2021. Economists see an increase in continuing claims as a sign that those out of work are taking longer to find new jobs. Chime is set to debut on the Nasdaq later today under the ticker symbol CHYM. The digital bank raised $864 million in its IPO, and priced shares at $27 each for a valuation of $11.6 billion. Chime's entrance in the public markets has been viewed as another indicator of whether the IPO market is thawing after a freeze due to tariff-induced uncertainty. Other recent go-publics, like stablecoin issuer Circle (CRCL) and Nvidia-backed CoreWeave (CRWV), saw massive rallies after their IPOs. As my colleague Josh Schafer wrote yesterday, the largest tech stocks are once again leading the market higher, and that enthusiasm has trickled down to newly issued public offerings. In a June 9 research report, Carson Group associate portfolio manager Blake Anderson found that tech IPOs have been outperforming non-tech IPOs, with shares tied to tech IPOs rising an average of 108% from their deal price.

Air India confirmed the plane, which was headed to Gatwick Airport in the UK, crashed in a civilian area near the airport, but has not specified if there are any fatalities. It is still not clear what caused the crash. According to Reuters, Boeing confirmed it was aware of the crash and was working to gather more information. The news comes as the planemaker is trying to rebuild trust relating to the safety of its jets and increase production under new Chief Executive Officer Kelly Orthberg. "There's revised fears of the problems that plagued Boeing aircraft and Boeing itself in recent years," said Chris Beauchamp, analyst at IG Group.

Why Boeing Stock Is Under Pressure Today

Boeing shares are reacting to a fatal 787 Dreamliner crash in India. Investors need to know that it will likely take months, if not years, to determine the factors that caused the accident, and should try to avoid reacting to headlines. 10 stocks we like better than Boeing › A Boeing (NYSE: BA) 787 Dreamliner carrying 242 people crashed in India, reportedly leaving few, if any, survivors. Though the human tragedy is the primary focus, the incident also raises fresh concerns about safety. Shares of Boeing traded down 5% as of 10 a.m. ET, and shares of engine maker GE Aerospace (NYSE: GE) were down 2%. Air India flight 171 took off from Ahmedabad en route to London, but crashed shortly after takeoff, according to reports. It is the first fatal incident involving a Dreamliner, which has been in service since October 2011. It will take months, if not years, to determine the cause of the incident, and there are a wide range of potential factors, including weather, human error, and maintenance that will be considered on top of manufacturing issues. But for Boeing, which is in the process of rehabilitating its reputation after a pair of fatal accidents involving its 737 MAX aircraft, the incident creates fresh investor uncertainty just as the company appeared to be regaining its footing. The best advice for investors is to do nothing at all. Expect there to be few definitive conclusions about what happened for some time, and in many cases, incidents like this are the result of a cascade of different factors. Even before today's incident, Boeing investors were in for a long journey. The aerospace company expanded its total debt by more than 400% during the pandemic and still faces government production restrictions on the 737 MAX that limits its cash flow and its ability to pay down that balance. Boeing has refreshed its management and is making strides to meet government requirements to expand production. We're still far from drawing any conclusions about whether the Air India incident will impact the company's course.
