Zeke:
EADS is in an extremely poor financial position. Cash in the bank is offset by massive debts, a lack of ongoing currency hedges to protect their revenue against the falling dollar (a/c are sold in dollars), and numerous operational and unionisation issues.
EADS have €4.1bn cash (declining each time they report!), and earnings of €19m from €12.9bn revenue. Not so safe if you ask me.
