GE Aerospace Signals Continued 2026 Growth on Strong Demand Outlook

Looking ahead to 2026, GE Aerospace has provided optimistic guidance, anticipating continued growth in revenue and earnings. The company projects adjusted revenue growth in the low double digits, building on the $42.3 billion achieved in 2025. This growth is expected to be driven by increased demand for commercial engines and services, as well as advancements in defense and propulsion technologies.

GE Aerospace’s guidance for 2026 includes an operating profit range of $9.85 billion to $10.25 billion, reflecting the company’s confidence in its ability to improve operational efficiency and capitalize on market opportunities. The company also anticipates an adjusted EPS range of $7.10 to $7.40, representing a substantial increase from the $6.37 achieved in 2025. This guidance underscores GE Aerospace’s focus on enhancing shareholder value through strategic investments and operational excellence.

Furthermore, GE Aerospace expects its free cash flow to range between $8.0 billion and $8.4 billion, with a conversion rate exceeding 100%. This positive cash flow outlook aligns with the company’s plans to invest over $1 billion in its global maintenance, repair, and overhaul network, supporting the expansion of its commercial engines and services segment. With a strong order backlog and strategic initiatives in place, GE Aerospace is well-positioned to sustain its growth trajectory and deliver significant value to its stakeholders in 2026 and beyond.
