Boeing has cash for investments - CFO

NEW YORK, July 15 (Reuters) - Aerospace giant Boeing Co. is looking at opportunitites
to grow its business and has cash for investments, Chief Financial Officer Debby Hopkins
said Thursday.

''We have a beehive of activity in looking at opportunities to grow this business,'' Hopkins
said during a luncheon briefing in New York. ''We clearly have cash and we have the ability to do some investments.''

Earlier Thursday, Hopkins told analysts and reporters that the company does not expect to make any more significant
divestitures.

Hopkins said the investments could be made ''to expand something we are already doing today'' or ''adjacent opportunities,''
such as in its engineering services business.

''Most of the things we're looking at are triple-digit type opportunities,'' Hopkins told reporters during the briefing.

When asked if the company would have enough cash to buy back stock, make acquisitions and fund a new aircraft program,
Hopkins said, ''I feel very comfortable that we have the ability today to juggle those things.''
