GE Aerospace plans $12B acquisition to fix supply chain amid rating downgrade to Hold.

GE Aerospace is acquiring Consolidated Precision Products for $12 billion to resolve supply chain issues, marking its largest deal since becoming independent in 2024. The acquisition, partly funded by cash and debt, aims to secure critical aerospace castings supply but faces regulatory review and mixed market reactions. Melius Research downgraded GE Aerospace's stock to Hold with a $350 price target, reflecting cautious optimism despite recent stock declines. The move could improve long-term market outlook if regulatory hurdles are cleared.

As of Sep 14, 2026 21:04 WIB, GE Aerospace shares trade at USD 313.70, down 3.08% for the day and below their 52-week high of USD 381.22 but above the 52-week low of USD 273.25. This price movement contrasts with the cautious market sentiment following the CPP acquisition announcement and the Hold rating from Melius Research. The stock's current dividend yield stands at 0.58%, reflecting modest income potential amid ongoing regulatory reviews.
