Overview

Company profile and research snapshot.

Company profile

GE Aerospace is the global leader in designing, manufacturing, and servicing commercial aircraft engines, along with partner Safran in their CFM joint venture. With its massive global installed base of nearly 70,000 commercial and military engines, GE Aerospace earns most of its profits on recurring service revenue of that equipment, which operates for decades. GE Aerospace is the remaining core business of the company formed in 1892 with historical ties to American inventor Thomas Edison; that company became a storied conglomerate with peak revenue of $130 billion in 2000 until GE spun off its appliance, finance, healthcare, and wind and power businesses between 2016 and 2024.

GE Aerospace Stock Performance

GE Aerospace shares closed at $342.58, reflecting a single-session decline of 3.11% per SID market data. Over the trailing one-month period, the stock has retreated 2.25%, though it maintains a robust 18.8% gain over the past twelve months, underscoring sustained long-term momentum within the industrials sector. On a three-month basis, shares have advanced 6.83%. Technically, GE is trading below its 50-day moving average of $360.30, signaling near-term selling pressure, while remaining above its 200-day moving average of $324.06, which preserves the broader uptrend structure. The 14-day relative strength index registers at 35.1, approaching oversold territory and suggesting the recent pullback may be nearing exhaustion. Average daily volume stands at approximately 4.07 million shares according to Massive/Polygon data. The stock carries a beta of 1.405, indicating meaningfully higher volatility relative to the broader market.

GE Aerospace Valuation Analysis

GE Aerospace commands a market capitalization of approximately $304.3 billion, positioning it among the largest companies in the industrials sector, per SID market data. The stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 38.18, reflecting a premium valuation relative to the broader industrial peer group, which typically trades at lower multiples. The PEG ratio stands at 8.90, according to SEC filings and derived financial metrics, suggesting the current earnings multiple substantially exceeds the company's implied earnings growth rate. GE Aerospace's price-to-book ratio of 16.36 further illustrates the market's elevated expectations for future cash flow generation and margin expansion from the aerospace-focused business. The company offers a modest dividend yield of 0.47%, indicating management's prioritization of capital reinvestment and share repurchases over income distribution. These valuation metrics collectively reflect significant growth expectations embedded in the current share price.

Smart Money Activity for GE

GE Aerospace registers a composite smart money score of 54 out of 100 with a neutral overall signal, per SID market data. Institutional positioning represents the strongest component at a perfect 25 out of 25, reflecting substantial conviction from large fund managers and asset allocators. Congressional trading activity scores 15.6 out of 25, indicating moderate legislative interest in the defense and aerospace name. In contrast, insider sentiment scores just 6.8 out of 25, weighed down by a net selling bias. According to SEC Form 4 filings, company insiders executed 19 transactions over the past 90 days, comprising 7 purchases and 12 sales, resulting in a sell-to-buy ratio of approximately 1.7 to 1. Dark pool activity registers at 6.2 out of 25, suggesting limited off-exchange institutional accumulation in recent periods. The divergence between strong institutional ownership conviction and insider selling activity presents a mixed directional signal for the stock, per 13F institutional filings.

GE Aerospace Earnings Outlook

GE Aerospace has delivered four consecutive quarterly earnings beats, demonstrating consistent operational execution, per company earnings reports. In the most recent quarter reported in July 2026, the company posted earnings per share of $2.02 against analyst estimates of $1.85, representing a positive surprise of $0.17 or approximately 9.2%. The prior quarter saw an even larger beat, with EPS of $1.86 versus the $1.61 consensus, a $0.25 upside surprise of roughly 15.5%. The January 2026 quarter produced EPS of $1.57 against estimates of $1.43, while the September 2025 quarter delivered $1.66 versus the $1.50 consensus. The trajectory of reported earnings shows sequential acceleration from $1.57 to $1.66 to $1.86 to $2.02, reflecting meaningful quarter-over-quarter growth. The consistency of beats across all four periods suggests analyst estimates have systematically underestimated the company's earnings power throughout the cycle.

Wall Street Analyst Ratings for GE

Wall Street consensus remains uniformly bullish on GE Aerospace, with all five most recent analyst actions reaffirming positive ratings, per Wall Street analyst reports. On July 23, 2026, Bernstein maintained its Outperform rating, while JP Morgan reiterated its Overweight designation on July 20. RBC Capital reaffirmed Outperform ratings in two separate notes dated July 17 and July 15, the former from its REIT coverage team and the latter from its primary industrial analyst. UBS maintained its Buy rating on July 17, per SID consensus data. Notably, none of the five most recent analyst actions involved a downgrade or initiation at a neutral or negative rating, and no analyst revised their stance in a less favorable direction. This clustering of reaffirmations around mid-July 2026 coincides with the post-earnings period following GE Aerospace's strong first-quarter beat of $0.17 above consensus. The sustained unanimity across major sell-side firms reflects broad institutional confidence in the company's aerospace-driven growth trajectory.
