What Analysts Think of GE Aerospace Stock Ahead of Earnings
Key Takeaways
GE Aerospace ( GE ) is slated to report fourth-quarter results Thursday morning, and analysts are bullish on the maker of airplane engines and other parts.
All nine analysts tracked by Visible Alpha who rate the stock have it as a "buy." The stock's average price target is at $211.67, which 16% higher than its level of $182.85 entering trading Tuesday.
GE Aerospace is expected to post net income of $1.2 billion, or $1.10 per share , on revenue of $10.12 billion, according to Visible Alpha estimates. A year ago, when the company was still a segment of conglomerate General Electric, it posted $1.6 billion in profit on $8.52 billion in revenue.
The report will be its third since GE became three separate companies, with GE Vernova ( GEV ) having been spun off in April 2024 and GE HealthCare ( GEHC ) having been separated earlier. GE Vernova is set to report its own fourth-quarter results Wednesday, with GE HealthCare reporting on Feb. 13.
