Boeing Company (BA)

Batteries or the aircraft or both could be the problem.

Contamination of battery materials, testing of batteries, specifications of batteries could be lacking proper environmental requirements, and many more items. The ultimate responsibility remains with boeing. The prime contractor has to manage the specifications and their vendors. As long as the vendor met the specifications provided by boeing then they are off the hook. This could be a boeing problem or a vendor problem.

It is way to early to jump to any conclusions when none of us investors have data or expertise to make a call. Very smart engineers will make the call and fix the problem whatever it is.

Boeing will pay dearly for this problem so I think short term PPS will suffer. Long term boeing will be just fine.
