Just because the government won't let Boeing go bankrupt doesn't mean Boeing shares will provide the exact same return to investors no matter what. An incident like this should reduce our expectations of how much Boeing will pay investors in dividends/buybacks, so the share price should be lower.

> because the government won't let Boeing go bankrupt

This keeps being repeated. It isn’t true. The government won’t let Boeing go under. It’s fine letting it go bankrupt.

The goverment might try to give Boeing back from McDonnel/Chicago to Boeing. As it should have happened years ago already. It's critical infrastructure for them.
