GE Aerospace posted impressive first-quarter 2026 results, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.86, surpassing analyst expectations and reflecting a 25% year-over-year growth. The company also exceeded revenue forecasts, achieving $11.6 billion, driven by an 87% increase in orders. Despite this strong performance, the stock experienced a 3.16% decline in premarket trading, raised by concerns over lower operating margins and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties. Looking forward, GE Aerospace anticipates a $4 billion increase in service revenue year-over-year but has adjusted its full-year departures outlook to flat or low single-digit growth.
