GE Aerospace stock drops nearly 6% after earnings beat — why investors still sold
GE Aerospace shares fell 5.7% to $300.25 Thursday afternoon, erasing earlier gains after the company’s 2026 profit outlook topped estimates. The drop followed news of strong demand for maintenance and a 74% jump in fourth-quarter orders, but investors noted slowing growth and margin concerns after a sharp rally. GE forecast 2026 adjusted earnings of $7.10–$7.40 per share, above consensus.
