The stock made a high of $342.73 on Tuesday (Sep 8) before fading through the rest of the week. Wednesday (Sep 9) saw the sharpest pullback, with the stock trading as low as $321.16. On Friday (Sep 11) it closed at $323.66, near the low end of its 60-session range and on below-average volume. The weekly swing was 6.38%. ## Key Events The main story this week was GE’s agreement to acquire Consolidated Precision Products (CPP), a castings supplier, for nearly $12 billion. The deal was announced on Tuesday (Sep 8), with reports highlighting that GE paid around 26 times CPP’s profit to secure downstream capacity and ease engine supply bottlenecks. The stock still ended Tuesday higher, but then pulled back over the next two sessions. Howmet Aerospace, a peer exposed to the same supply chain, fell after the news, with its CEO later saying he was fine with the deal. Separately, Avianca announced first-of-its-kind financing for MRO services at GE’s Brazil shop. The week’s event flow was concentrated in the first half and centred on capacity and supply-chain positioning. ## Analyst Ratings Among 22 brokers covering the stock, 16 rate it buy, 3 rate it outperform, 2 rate it hold, and 1 rates it underperform—with no sell ratings and no no-opinion ratings. The consensus is strong buy, with a consensus target of $404.90476, about 25.1% above the latest price. Individual targets range from $347 to $455, a wide spread that still sits entirely above spot. Within the aerospace and defence sector, GE ranks 7th out of 84 names, and its 22 covering brokers are well above the industry mean and median. ## The Week Ahead On Tuesday (Sep 15), the New York Fed manufacturing index is due, with the prior reading at 20.6 and the consensus forecast at 14.75. Wednesday (Sep 16) brings a cluster of US data: retail sales, retail sales ex-autos, retail control, import prices, the NAHB housing market index, and weekly EIA crude and Cushing inventories. A surprise in retail or manufacturing data could shift sentiment across industrials and aerospace. Progress on the CPP transaction will also stay in focus. ## In Short This week left a clear tension in GE’s tape. The rating setup is heavily skewed to the upside, with a consensus target roughly 25% above spot. Yet the stock broke below its 20-day average, small-lot flows turned net seller in the latest session, and the stock sits near the low end of its 60-session range. Valuation also looks stretched at about 37x earnings and 19x book. The next leg depends on whether the CPP deal can actually deliver capacity, and on whether next week’s macro data supports or undercuts risk appetite in the sector. *This article is generated by LongbridgeAI from market data, for information only and not investment advice.* ### Related Stocks - [GE.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GE.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [ANALYSIS-GE Aerospace bets on 'black art' of casting to secure jet engine supply](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298442606.md) - [GE Aerospace Gains After Paying 26 Times Profit for a Bottleneck](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298358446.md) - [GE Aerospace To Acquire Consolidated Precision Products (Cpp), Expanding Mission-Critical Castings Capacity](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298312900.md) - [If You Invested $100 In GE Aerospace Stock 5 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298387031.md) - [GE Aerospace’s $11.75B Deal Puts Howmet Aerospace in Focus](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298490164.md) --- > **Disclaimer: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.**
