NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 13:05 ET — Regular session
- GE Aerospace shares were up about 0.2% in afternoon trading.
- The stock traded ex-dividend on Monday, a timing wrinkle for late-year flows.
- Investors are also watching Fed minutes later today and GE’s Jan. 22 earnings update.
GE Aerospace shares edged higher on Tuesday, up about 0.2% at $312.2 in afternoon trading in New York.
The move comes in holiday-thin markets, when light liquidity can make small shifts in positioning look bigger than they are.
For GE, the calendar matters: the stock began trading ex-dividend on Monday, meaning new buyers no longer qualify for the next quarterly payout.
GE fell 1% on Monday and finished about 2% below its 52-week high of $318.06 set last week, while peers Honeywell and RTX slipped less, MarketWatch data showed.
GE Aerospace’s board declared a $0.36 per share quarterly dividend payable on Jan. 26, 2026, to shareholders of record as of Dec. 29, 2025, and set Dec. 29 as the ex-dividend date, the company said.
Across the market, stocks were muted as investors waited for minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting, with strategists framing the recent rotation away from mega-cap tech as orderly. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations more so than an emotionally driven sell-off,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide.

GE Aerospace is one of the largest suppliers of jet engines and related services, a business that tends to draw attention to aircraft production rates and the pace of maintenance work.
Investors often focus on the “aftermarket” — parts and maintenance for engines already in service — because it can be steadier than sales of new equipment.
The next scheduled catalyst is GE Aerospace’s fourth-quarter earnings webcast on Jan. 22, when management is expected to give an update on operations and the outlook for 2026.
Traders will be looking for commentary on deliveries, maintenance capacity and cash generation, along with any sign that supply constraints are easing or returning.
Price action is also in focus after the stock touched a 52-week high on Dec. 26; investors are watching for a retest of that level and for support to hold near recent lows.
With no major GE-specific announcements on the calendar this week, the shares may continue to track broader moves in industrial and aerospace names until fresh guidance arrives in January.
