Why is GE Aerospace (GE) stock moving?
GE closed at $337.91 on Nov 10, up about 15% from $293.54 on Oct 22, with the stock near the top of its 30-day range (high $340.53). The main catalyst is the $12.9 billion in sales and service deals signed at the China expo, reported Nov 6, which supports the order-growth story. The Nov 5 drop to $314.73 was recovered within two sessions, and the lows of $314-318 now look like a short-term support zone. Volume has faded during the rally: the Nov 10 session traded 3.38M shares against a 30-day average near 6M, which weakens confirmation of the move. The CEO's plan to sell up to $95 million of shares is a negative signal to some investors, though insider sale plans are often routine. The India F414 engine talks are still open and not yet a booked contract. The filings reference Q3 2026 results released Oct 20, but the text provided contains no figures, so the earnings read-through cannot be assessed here.

About GE Aerospace
GE Aerospace is the jet-engine business left over after the old General Electric conglomerate split up. It makes and services engines for commercial airliners and military aircraft, including the best-selling LEAP engine (built through its CFM joint venture with Safran). It has one of the largest installed engine fleets in the world and a commercial services backlog of over $170 billion.
How it makes money
Most of its revenue, roughly three-quarters, comes from the Commercial Engines & Services segment. That segment sells new engines (such as the LEAP, GEnx and GE9X), often at thin margins, and then earns most of its profit from long-term maintenance, spare parts and overhaul work over the decades an engine stays in service. The rest comes from Defense & Propulsion Technologies, which covers military engines like the F404 and F414, helicopter engines and other propulsion systems. Adjusted revenue was about $42 billion in 2025 and grew around 20% in 2026.
