Cash buffers and other factors helped Boeing (BA.US) avoid the S&P downgrade crisis, but the outlook remains negative.

Zhitong Financial APP learned that the rating agency Standard & Poor's Global has stated that it will no longer consider downgrading Boeing's (BA.US) credit rating to junk level. This is due to the fact that the aircraft manufacturer has $24 billion in cash reserves and other stable factors to help it deal with potential future challenges.
