On Monday, UBS reiterated its Buy rating on Boeing (NYSE:BA) shares with a set price target of $250. Boeing (NYSE:BA) is preparing for a significant leadership transition as CEO Dave Calhoun plans to step down at the end of 2024. UBS views these upcoming changes positively, suggesting that the management and board adjustments could signal a new chapter for the aerospace company.
The company has confirmed that a search for a new CEO is currently in progress, aiming for a seamless transition. Calhoun is set to continue his efforts to stabilize the business throughout the remainder of his tenure. UBS has indicated that an ideal candidate for Calhoun’s successor would possess an aerospace background along with a track record of operational expertise.
In addition to the CEO transition, Boeing has announced several other key leadership changes. Larry Kellner, the present Board Chair, has decided not to run for re-election. Steve Mollenkopf is set to take over his role. Furthermore, Stephanie Pope, who is currently the COO and was formerly the President of Boeing Global Services, is slated to succeed Stan Deal as the President of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
UBS believes the market will interpret these leadership updates as a positive move, potentially crafting a refreshed narrative for Boeing. The firm’s confidence in the company’s stock is reflected in the maintained price target, suggesting a stable outlook for Boeing’s financial performance amidst these executive shifts.
