NASA has postponed the next potential flight of Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)&#8217;s Starliner spacecraft to 2026. This delay affects a crucial milestone for the vehicle, which is intended to be an alternative to SpaceX&#8216;s Dragon spacecraft.
What Happened: NASA had initially indicated that Starliner&#8217;s next mission to the International Space Station (ISS) might occur by the end of this year. However, NASA is still determining whether the upcoming flight will include astronauts or only cargo, according to a report<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-06/nasa-delays-next-flight-of-boeing-s-alternative-to-spacex-dragon"> by</a> Bloomberg.
The delay underscores NASA&#8217;s dependence on SpaceX and its CEO, Elon Musk. Musk recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/45808621/after-threatening-to-scrap-dragon-spacecraft-amid-tussle-with-trump-musk-backs-down-following-social-media-plea-good-advice">threatened to decommission the Dragon spacecraft</a> amid a public dispute with President Donald Trump, but later confirmed it would remain operational.
See Also: <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45808431/xi-has-bowed-to-reality-says-china-analyst-urges-more-engagement-between-leaders-to-resolve-trade-i">Xi Has &#8216;Bowed To Reality,&#8217; Says China Analyst, Urges More Engagement Between Leaders To Resolve Trade Issues: &#8216;No Substitute For Direct Negotiations With Trump&#8217;</a>
Starliner, the sole U.S. alternative for crew transport to the ISS, has faced challenges. A failed test flight in 2024 left two astronauts stranded on the ISS for over nine months, and the vehicle has yet to be certified for human transport. Due to engine issues with Starliner, NASA relied on SpaceX&#8217;s Dragon to return the astronauts safely.
Why It Matters: The delay in Starliner&#8217;s flight is part of a series of setbacks for Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and its spacecraft program. The company has already invested over $2 billion in the Starliner project, which has been plagued by technical issues and financial overruns.
These challenges have made the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43638821/boeing-has-spent-2-billion-on-the-starliner-debacle-as-musks-spacex-set-to-rescue-the-stranded-astronauts"> Starliner one of the most expensive</a> commercial space missions ever.
In March 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44539316/nasa-and-boeing-push-forward-with-starliner-crew-certification">NASA and Boeing</a> were reportedly working to resolve the technical issues and move forward with crew certification.

'Boeing Set to Restart Jet Handovers to China Amid Trade Spat' - Bloomberg News

I could try to make the insider activity of the last week tell some cool story that might be worth your attention. I would not be doing you any favors, as there has not been any noteworthy activity in the past week.
Insiders, like every other corporate executive and small business owner in America, are sitting on the sidelines at the moment. The confusion generated by policy decisions in Washington makes the sidelines a very comfortable place right now.
I looked through 13D filings as well, and nothing there struck me as having the potential for returns to get excited about.
Two things I did notice in looking over 13D and 13G filings this week are that there is more selling than buying, and the SPAC arbs are getting back in the game. That means we will probably see an uptick in SPAC offerings soon, especially if the markets decline.
Please do not fall into the whole pre-IPO hype that surrounds these offerings. They are an arb trade that uses private companies to create returns for large institutions that know how to execute the arbitrage.
The idea behind Alpha Buying is to post opportunities in insider and institutional buying, and this week I think we are best served by taking a look at an institution that has an outstanding long-term track record and using their ideas to build a watch list of opportunities.
Back in 1995, two former First Boston colleagues, Brian Higgins and Francis Biondi Jr., quietly launched a credit-focused investment firm with $4 million in capital and a contrarian eye for mispriced assets.
Nearly three decades later, King Street Capital Management has grown into one of the most respected credit-focused alternative asset managers in the world, overseeing approximately $28 billion in assets and operating from offices in New York, London, Singapore, Tokyo, and other global financial hubs.
From the outset, King Street&#8217;s strategy was built around complexity. While many were chasing the high-yield trade of the moment, King Street sought opportunity in dislocation, whether in bankruptcies, restructurings, or out-of-favor credits misunderstood by the broader market. The firm&#8217;s ability to dig into the granular details of capital structures and legal documents earned it a reputation for deep research and disciplined risk management.
King Street&#8217;s investment philosophy is centered around five core tenets:
<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Fundamental research: They rely on detailed, bottom-up analysis of companies, debt instruments, and macroeconomic conditions, always with an eye on downside risk.</li>
<li>Opportunistic investing: The firm seeks dislocations and inefficiencies across credit, equities, sovereign debt, and structured finance.</li>
<li>Dynamic capital allocation: With flexibility baked into its DNA, King Street reallocates capital as market conditions shift, ensuring resources are always directed where the best risk-adjusted returns lie.</li>
<li>Event-driven focus: King Street thrives on complex situations—distressed debt, special situations, legal arbitrage, and corporate reorganizations that many others shy away from.</li>
<li>Global perspective: With teams on multiple continents and a willingness to scour the globe for ideas, King Street is anything but parochial.</li>
</ol>
Over the years, the firm has expanded its platform to include new strategies and structures. In 2017, it launched a collateralized loan obligation (CLO) business, and in 2022, it entered the increasingly competitive world of private credit. What ties these strategies together is the firm&#8217;s steadfast commitment to disciplined underwriting and risk control.
If there is a common thread through the firm&#8217;s evolution, it is this: King Street succeeds not by chasing yield, but by embracing complexity. It is the kind of shop that thrives when the rest of the market is running scared.
King Street has a phenomenal track record, and thanks to those pesky mandatory 13F filings every quarter, we can see what they own and begin to engage in idea piracy for fun and profit.
Here are the top six largest stock purchases by King Street Capital in the first quarter. These six names are a reminder that not all values look the same. Some are fallen angels, others are restructuring stories, and a few are still clinging to a yield or a dream. Here&#8217;s a quick look at what&#8217;s happening under the hood.
Surgalign Holdings (Ticker: SRGY)
SRGY is a post-bankruptcy shell trying to reinvent itself after selling off its surgical navigation and spine implant business. What&#8217;s left is a speculative platform company with little revenue, but with optionality for a pivot or merger. It trades for pennies but has attracted interest from deep-spec value players looking for optionality in the wreckage.
Anywhere Real Estate Inc. (Ticker: HOUS)
HOUS, formerly known as Realogy, is the holding company behind Coldwell Banker, Sotheby&#8217;s International, and other major brokerage brands. Its debt-heavy balance sheet and razor-thin margins make it highly sensitive to housing cycles. The stock has had moments of life, but its path forward hinges on a sustained rebound in home sales volumes. Restructuring efforts have been slow but may finally be getting traction as mortgage rates peak.
Boeing (Ticker: BA)
BA continues to wobble under the weight of its own quality control issues and production delays. Still, the global aircraft replacement cycle is intact, and defense contracts provide ballast. At less than 1x forward sales and still far off its highs, the valuation is more interesting than it has been in years. That said, there&#8217;s no margin for error—execution must improve. If it does, the upside is considerable.
Ardagh Metal Packaging (Ticker: AMBP)
AMBP makes beverage cans, not headlines, which is exactly the appeal for yield-focused investors. With sustainability tailwinds at its back and a 6%+ dividend yield, AMBP is a durable if under-followed story. Short-term margin pressure and slow European volumes have hurt sentiment, but the core business is intact. If inflation stabilizes, the company&#8217;s pricing power and fixed cost leverage could come back into focus.
Uniti Group (Ticker: UNIT)
UNIT is a high-yield fiber REIT with a troubled past, mostly due to its overdependence on Windstream, which emerged from bankruptcy in 2020. UNIT has tried to slowly diversify away, but Windstream still accounts for the majority of revenue. It pays a 10%+ dividend, but coverage is tight, and growth is an open question. Investors here are buying a discounted, leveraged bet on fiber infrastructure and hoping the cash keeps flowing.
Altice USA (Ticker: ATUS)
Altice was once billed as the next great cable roll-up story. Instead, it became a cautionary tale of debt, poor service, and relentless subscriber churn. With heavy capital needs and rising competition from fiber and wireless, ATUS has seen its valuation crater. Management is trying to pivot toward fiber and operational efficiency, but results have been uneven at best. The stock trades at a distressed multiple, but with negative momentum and eroding fundamentals, catching this falling knife requires either deep conviction or a strong stomach.
Remember, these should go on your watch list, not your &#8220;run out and put an enormous amount of money in right this moment&#8221; list.

Alpha Buying: What This $28B Credit Giant Is Betting On

On May 29, 2025, The Boeing Company (the "Company") entered into a Non-Prosecution Agreement ("NPA") with the U.S. Department of Justice ("Department") that, subject to court proceedings, resolves matters relating to the Department's determination that the Company did not fulfill its obligations under the previously-disclosed Deferred Prosecution Agreement entered into by the Company and the Department on January 6, 2021 (the "DPA").
 &nbsp;
Pursuant to the NPA, the Company is subject to a $487.2 million overall criminal monetary penalty, $243.6 million of which was paid in 2021 pursuant to the DPA and the remaining $243.6 million of which was included in amounts expensed by the Company in 2024 pursuant to the proposed plea agreement between the Company and the Department filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas on July 24, 2024. The NPA also requires the Company, among other things, to (1) pay $444.5 million in additional compensation to the heirs and/or beneficiaries of those who died in the Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 accidents, (2) to invest $455.0 million in the Company's compliance, safety, and quality programs through the end of the term of the NPA, (3) to retain an independent compliance consultant to assess the Company's progress regarding remediation and implementation of the compliance measures described in the NPA and the attachments thereto, (4) to continue to implement a compliance program, and (5) to continue to undertake a review of its internal controls, policies and procedures. The Department agreed that it will not further criminally prosecute the Company for any conduct described in the NPA provided that the Company performs all of its obligations under the NPA, including those described above. The NPA has a term of two years from the date on which the Company retains the independent compliance consultant, unless the NPA is extended or terminated earlier as described therein.

Behind the Scenes of Boeing's Latest Options Trends

The Trump administration is reportedly planning to relax regulations&nbsp;that require companies to disclose&nbsp;executive perks such as private jet use and bodyguard services.
What Happened: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is organizing a roundtable discussion later this month to consider changes to CEO perks disclosure rules. The participants for this roundtable have not been confirmed yet, as per a <a href="https://www.semafor.com/article/06/03/2025/trump-administration-lays-groundwork-to-make-ceo-perks-easier-to-hide">report</a> from Semafor.
These perks, which have been growing at a faster rate than total CEO pay, have seen a surge due to the pandemic.&nbsp;Companies have been covering costs for private jets and remote work setups — perks that, once granted, are hard to roll back. The recent rise in spending on personal security likely stems from the murder of an insurance executive last year.
The SEC&#8217;s current definition of these benefits includes anything not &#8220;integrally and directly related&#8221; to the job. Since 2015, the agency has filed a lawsuit against at least 20 companies for concealing the cost of these benefits from shareholders.
Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) have faced scrutiny over executive jet use—Boeing admitted it failed to disclose $500,000 in private jet travel by former CEO Dave Calhoun, while Salesforce began reporting CEO Marc Benioff&#8216;s corporate jet flights between San Francisco and his Hawaii home, classifying some as commuting.
SEC did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
SEE ALSO: <a href="https://benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45763037/marjorie-taylor-greene-says-shes-adamantly-opposed-to-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-over-this-ai-provision-i-would-have-voted-no-if-i-had-kn" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Marjorie Taylor Greene Says She&#8217;s &#8216;Adamantly Opposed&#8217; To Trump&#8217;s &#8216;Big Beautiful&#8217; Bill Over This AI Provision: &#8216;I Would Have Voted NO If I Had Known This Was In There&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: The move to make CEO perks easier to hide comes amid a broader criticism around the Trump administration favoring the rich at a time when the wealth gap in the U.S. is widening. For instance,&nbsp;Jeff Bezos<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45757006/jeff-bezos-saved-6-2-billion-in-taxes-since-2017-experts-say-trumps-proposed-hike-wont-touch-capital-gains-loophole"> recently saved </a>$6.2 billion in taxes&nbsp;since 2017, a sum that may remain untouched by President Trump&#8217;s proposed tax hike. This has sparked debate about the fairness of the tax system and the need for reforms to address loopholes that benefit the ultra-wealthy.
Similarly,&nbsp;Senator Elizabeth Warren has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45582300/elizabeth-warren-says-jeff-bezos-and-elon-musk-are-popping-champagne-as-house-passes-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-she-calls-a-handout-to-billionaires">criticized </a>Trump&#8217;s tax package&nbsp;as a &#8220;big tax handout for billionaires,&#8221; paid for by cutting healthcare for millions. These discussions highlight the broader issue of wealth inequality and the role of government policy in addressing it.

10 Industrials Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

After delivering its strongest monthly performance since November 2023, Wall Street entered June on a cautious note, with mounting geopolitical tensions and new trade tariffs clouding investor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/06/45722678/magnificent-seven-closed-a-blockbuster-may-added-nearly-2-trillion-in-market-value">appetite for risk assets.</a>
President Donald Trump announced over the weekend that tariffs on steel and aluminum imports will be doubled to 50% starting June 4, reigniting trade tensions with China. Beijing responded by accusing Washington of seriously violating trade agreements and pledged to take strong measures to defend its interests.
The renewed dispute ignited a rally in precious and industrial metals. Aluminium prices climbed 2.5%, copper gained 3%, and silver soared 4.6%, marking its best daily performance since September 2024. Gold also caught a bid, rising 2.8% to $3,327 per ounce, its highest level since May 8, as investors sought safe-haven protection.
Russia's war with Ukraine escalated over the weekend, with Ukrainian drones striking airfields deep inside eastern Siberia. Moscow responded with one of its largest missile and drone barrages yet.
The geopolitical flare-up sent oil prices up 3.5% to $64 a barrel, shrugging off OPEC+'s announcement of a 411,000 barrels-per-day production hike starting in July.
Meanwhile, U.S. natural gas prices spiked 7% as traders priced in a potential increase in LNG demand from Europe.
On the macro front, the Institute for Supply Management's Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) revealed a deeper-than-expected contraction in May. Price pressures remained elevated, hovering near their highest<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45724821/trumps-manufacturing-narrative-weakens-as-may-data-shows-sharper-contraction-stubborn-inflation"> levels in three years.</a>
Selling pressure resumed in the Treasury market, with the yield on the 30-year U.S. bond rising 6 basis points to 4.98%. 
The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) dropped 1.5%, reflecting losses in long-duration bonds. At the same time, the U.S. dollar softened, with the dollar index falling to 98.7, its lowest in over a week.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell 1.3% to $104,000, continuing its pullback from recent highs.

Stocks Stall, Commodities Rocket As Trade, Geopolitical Tensions Resume: What's Driving Markets Monday?

Bank of America upgraded Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) from &#8216;Neutral&#8217; to &#8216;Buy,&#8217; calling the jet maker a key beneficiary of President <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump&#8216;s trade talks</a>.
What Happened: "Boeing aircraft have emerged as the favored trade tool for&nbsp;the&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;Administration&nbsp;in&nbsp;recent trade deals," Bank of America analyst Ronald J. Epstein said in the note shared Monday.
"We suspect this will continue," he added.
Epstein also raised its price target to a Street-high $260 amid signs of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color">a long-awaited turnaround.</a>
The new price target implies a 25.4% upside from Boeing's last close at $207.32. 
Here are the latest developments that unfolded from Trump&#8217;s travels:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>IAG, owner of British Airways and other European carriers, announced a nearly $13 billion purchase for 32 new Boeing aircraft.</li>
<li>Qatar Airways intends to buy up to 210 Boeing aircraft after Trump visited the Arabian Peninsula and agreed to accept a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45338985/trump-reportedly-set-to-accept-flying-palace-from-qatar-white-house-says-lavish-gift-of-boeing-jumbo-jet-complies-with-all-applicable-laws" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Boeing 747</a> from Qatar as a gift.</li>
<li>Etihad Airways confirmed an order for 28 new Boeing long-haul aircraft during Trump&#8217;s visit to the United Arab Emirates.</li>
<li>And China <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44837703/chinas-ban-on-boeing-could-be-short-lived-but-trump-administration-cant-ignore-trade-fallout-warns-analyst">lifted its long-standing ba</a>n on Boeing jets, opening the door to more deliveries in a key growth market.</li>
</ul>
"These set a precedent for future global trade negotiations, to BA's benefit," Epstein said.
BofA doesn't see backlog alone driving valuation, but it highlights Boeing's new role as a trade facilitator. Combine that with operational improvements and asset sales, Epstein adds, it creates a "buying opportunity.&#8221; 
The F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance contract—awarded earlier this year—is also a win for Boeing's defense business. It secures a foothold in a decades-long fighter program and could help draw top engineering talent to the firm.
Why It Matters: Boeing is attempting to pull out of a crisis. A tough first quarter included a $2.9 billion accounting loss tied to high production costs. That translates to a loss of roughly $30 million per aircraft.
The company also remains under heightened scrutiny due to public concern over the safety of its aircraft. Various events, including mid-air malfunctions, engine fires, and two fatal 737 MAX plane crashes that claimed 346 lives, have significantly impacted its reputation.
Boeing also happens to have the backing of Trump&#8217;s Department of Justice, which recently moved to dismiss criminal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45689735/us-justice-department-seeks-to-dismiss-boeings-fraud-charges-on-737-max-crashes-that-killed-over-300">fraud charges against the company</a>.
It now claims to be restoring stability in its core 737 program.
Even so, Epstein said Boeing is on track to produce 38 jets per month by the fourth quarter. That's up from 25 in March and 33 in April. The company may even push to 42 jets per month by year-end if the Federal Aviation Administration lifts its current cap.
Epstein added that Boeing has reduced traveled work by 50% and continues to unwind excess inventory, especially 737-8 aircraft built for Chinese customers before 2023.
What&#8217;s Next: The analyst also expressed confidence in CEO Kelly Ortberg, appointed last August, calling him central to the company's restructuring. 
Ortberg helped negotiate an end to the 53-day IAM strike, launched portfolio realignments, and implemented new safety systems.
Under his leadership, Boeing is also shedding non-core assets—most notably, its planned $10.6 billion sale of Digital Aviation Solutions.
"Sisyphus [is]&nbsp;on the path to&nbsp;breaking&nbsp;the&nbsp;&#8216;doom loop&#8217;," Epstein said, using a Greek myth to describe Boeing's woes.
Looking ahead, BofA estimates earnings per share will jump from 35 cents this year to $6.40 by 2027. Free cash flow is forecast to swing from a $3.5 billion loss in 2025 to $5.5 billion in 2027. Further upside is tied to the 787 and MAX programs.
&#8220;A premium to the market fairly reflects the strong demand for commercial jets, impending production ramp, steady improving execution and the F-47 program,&#8221; Epstein said.

Boeing To Rally More Than 25%? Here Are 10 Top Analyst Forecasts For Monday

GE Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) is passing along higher prices to customers after U.S. trade tariffs created a $500 million cost burden, meaning airlines, and eventually passengers, will soon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">feel the heat.</a>
Speaking from New Delhi at the International Air Transport Association's annual meeting, chief executive officer Larry Culp told Bloomberg that the world's largest aircraft engine maker is no longer able to shield customers from the financial impact of trade restrictions introduced under President Donald Trump's policies.
"We will be taking cost actions and passing along some of that residual," Culp said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is GE Already Seeing The Tariff Impact?</h3>
"Very much so," Culp said when asked whether the tariffs are affecting business now. The company has seen rising expenses and is adjusting its pricing strategy to preserve margins.
"We're managing the best we can, mitigating where we can through those supply-chain improvements but also through the cost and price actions," he said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff-Free Trade Helped Build US Aerospace</h3>
For decades, the global aerospace industry benefited from the 1979 Civil Aviation Agreement, which allowed for duty-free trade among key nations. 
Culp said that the framework helped U.S. companies like GE and Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) build a $75 billion annual trade surplus in aviation. But that advantage is eroding under new trade barriers.
"We've been advocating for a return to where we were on the heels of that 1979 civil aviation agreement," he said.
The U.S. has already signed a trade deal with the U.K., and more negotiations are underway. 
"I think June will be an important month," Culp added, as more agreements could shape the future cost landscape for aerospace exports.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Production Pressure Grows As Airbus And Boeing Ramp Up</h3>
GE is working to keep pace with increasing production from both Airbus SE and Boeing Co., who are planning record monthly output levels. 
"Be it with Airbus, be it with Boeing, they are effectively sold out through the rest of this decade," Culp said.
GE holds a $170 billion backlog and expects to build more engines in the second half of 2025 and in 2026 than in the first half of this year. 
Culp said parts received from key suppliers in April and May rose double-digits compared to the first quarter, a sign that the company's supply chain efforts are starting to pay off.
GE is also a major supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense, powering two-thirds of the U.S. combat aircraft and helicopters. Culp said the company remains focused on long-term military contracts and advanced engine development as defense spending increases.
When asked about growing concern over technology exports to China, Culp said GE has followed strict government procedures for years and is prepared for tighter controls if they come. 
"We welcome the scrutiny," he said.
