Background on Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc.
Headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, Spirit is the world’s largest manufacturer of aerostructures for commercial airplanes, defense platforms, and business/regional jets. Their core products include fuselages, integrated wings and wing components, pylons, and nacelles. Spirit’s largest customer is Boeing Co. They have long-term supply agreements together, under which Spirit provides products for several Boeing aircrafts, including the 737.
The Securities Fraud Claims
The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (i) Spirit lacked effective production quality controls; (ii) Spirit incorrectly installed fittings designed to join the aft fuselage to the vertical tail for some Boeing 737 Max airplanes that Spirit sent to Boeing; (iii) as a result, Spirit would have to develop an inspection and repair procedure for the affected fuselages; and (iv) the foregoing would negatively impact Spirit’s financial results.
After the market closed, on April 13, 2023, Boeing announced that it would halt deliveries of its 737 MAX aircraft due to a “supplier quality problem.” The same day, Bloomberg identified Spirit as the supplier of the faulty part. On this news, Spirit’s stock price fell $7.38, or 20.7%, to close at $28.22 per share on April 14, 2023.
