First, you could have phrased this differently and been less aggressive. Edit: I see you edited your comment after the fact. Good job.
But more importantly, has their been a study on layoffs like this and long-term health of companies? By the metric of the stock price, Boeing is doing better than it was 20, 30, 40+ years ago. Yes, they've have some problems, but the modern Boeing is, according to the share prices, more valuable and therefore a better company.
So, I'm also genuinely curious about if research has been done on this outside of immediate stock price and more about general strength of companies.

Is it? You need to normalize the price vs the market or industry. How has Boeing done compared to Airbus over the last 20 years? How about vs the market at large?
