Boeing's (BA) stock price rose 5.9% to $214.55 following news that its plan to acquire former subsidiary Spirit Aerosystems is progressing. The UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has invited interested parties to help inform a decision on the proposed merger [1].In 2024, Boeing agreed to buy back Spirit AeroSystems for $4.7 billion in stock to regain control of key manufacturing operations [1]. The move aims to streamline its operations and improve quality control, particularly in Wichita and Oklahoma, which were originally spun off in 2005 [1].
Spirit AeroSystems, now the largest independent maker of aircraft structures, has worked with multiple aircraft manufacturers during its time as a separate company. Airbus completed a separate deal in April to acquire Spirit facilities that support its aircraft programs [1].
The CMA has not launched a formal investigation but is seeking public comments by July 15 to help decide the next step [1]. The regulator is considering whether the deal could affect competition in the UK or other markets [2].
Boeing and Spirit did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment [2]. The acquisition bid is part of Boeing's broader strategy to consolidate its operations and enhance its competitive position in the aerospace industry.
