On September 16, GE Aerospace rose 3.17% in regular trading, trading at $316.92/share, with turnover of $3.76 billion, recovering notably from its intraday low. The stock rebounded alongside the broader aerospace sector after multiple consecutive sessions of significant pullback driven by surging oil prices and market digestion of its $11.75 billion acquisition of Consolidated Precision Products (CPP).
GE Aerospace announced the deal on September 8, agreeing to acquire CPP — one of the world's top four turbine blade and vane manufacturers — from Warburg Pincus and Berkshire Partners. The transaction will be financed with $7 billion in cash and the remainder in new debt, with closing expected in H2 of 2027. CPP operates over 20 facilities globally with approximately 6,600 employees, producing precision castings for commercial aerospace, defense, and power generation markets.
Sentiment improved after Honeywell Aerospace's CEO publicly characterized the CPP acquisition as a positive move for the industry. Additionally, GE Aerospace's expectation that the deal will be accretive to adjusted EPS and free cash flow in its first full year helped alleviate bearish concerns. Within the Aerospace & Defense sector, Honeywell Aerospace rose 4.04%, Axon Enterprise rose 2.67%, Boeing rose 0.68%, and RTX Corp rose 0.54%.
