Foolish take

GE's early January 2025 split created a pure play aerospace company, GE Aerospace, which retains the original ticker for the original company. People investing in GE Aerospace are doing so for the exposure to both commercial and military aviation markets, as a parts supplier and aviation technology developer, both moats with long term potential.

In the short term, a significant backlog already exists for orders worth more than $140 billion. Investment in research and development in advanced propulsion projects should feed the longer-term pipeline. Next generation engines will require significant investment, but will also position GE Aerospace as a leader in this technology space.

However, tariff pressures and supply constraints may create a bottleneck that makes it more difficult for GE Aerospace to fulfill its existing orders. Although it isn’t exposed to the same pressures as plane manufacturers, GE Aerospace will have to contend with a variety of economic pressures coming from those manufacturers on its commercial end. It may be able to make up for these with its military contracts.

Since the January split, the stock is up 61.5%, with a share price of $272.28 as of close of trading on August 6, 2025. Strong earnings continue to drive investor confidence in the stock.
