Company Report

GE Aerospace: Stand-Alone Jet Engine Maker Slightly Undervalued as Secular Demand Approaches

We are reinitiating coverage of GE Aerospace as a stand-alone business following the spinoff of General Electric’s power and wind turbine business as GE Vernova. We assign the jet engine maker a wide economic moat rating based on the technical complexity of its products and the specialized know-how it has to design, build, and service them, as well as engines' very long product cycles and some service contracts that imbue switching costs for GE Aerospace’s customers.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Bears vastly underestimate the incremental profits GE will make from operating leverage as commercial aerospace fully recovers and its Leap engine aftermarket program enters its profitable phase.

Bears

Burgeoning demand for its engines could place GE Aerospace’s manufacturing and supply chain under disruptive strain, not just frustrating customers but hampering efficiency.

Company Profile

GE Aerospace is the global leader in designing, manufacturing, and servicing large 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. GE spun off its appliance, finance, healthcare, and wind and power businesses between 2016 and 2024.
