Mergers: Boeing to buy Embraer
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    Boeing and Embraer have been discussing a deal that would involve a relatively large premium to the Brazilian company's market capitalization of $3.71 billion, the WSJ reported.

    The report comes about two months after Boeing rival Airbus SE (AIR.PA) agreed to buy a majority stake in Bombardier Inc’s (BBDb.TO) CSeries jetliner program. Reuters reported then that the CSeries deal could push Boeing and Embraer closer together..

    It is inevitable when Boeing pushed Bombardier into the arms of Airbus. Besides the 130-150 pax single aisle narrowbody segment is going to get crowded with the Comac C-919 and Irkut MC-21. In that segment the B737-700 max and the A319 are both getting long in the teeth. In the long run ~2030, the future much larger widebody Comac C-929 (which is a collaborated effort between China and Russia although engine selection is not yet known) will be impacting both the B787 and A330 price and bottom line.

    @ghkqn I doubt the C919 would have any global impact apart from the Chinese domestic market, it's long development basically meant its already a generation behind compared to the 737max and 320neo, which makes it less comparative as a whole. The C929 probably won't be ready in many years.

    Agree but China is a top contributor to the sales of both Boeing and Airbus. If the C919 takes a sizable chunk out of that market, it is going to hurt, not counting the significant price pressure (and reduced margins) that will come when a Chinese competitor shows up. It will not take long before low cost operators and developing countries will be signing on given the reduced capex.

    It is all universal imperialism rule - only one will survive. But as capitalist become slightly smarter they artificially try to keep two.
