Analysts Consider Bombardier As Standalone Bizjet OEM
Bombardier's biggest test as a lone business jet manufacturer will be during the next downturn, analysts said.

Bombardier will be in rarified air should the proposed sale of its train business to Saint-Ouen, France-based Alstom close in the first half of 2021. The memorandum of understanding between the two companies, announced February 17 in conjunction with Bombardier’s full-year 2019 financial results, would leave Bombardier as a standalone business jet manufacturer with more than 18,000 employees and a $14.4 billion backlog.
