GE Aerospace posted adjusted earnings of $1.66 a share for the second quarter of 2025, comfortably ahead of the roughly $1.43 analysts expected. Adjusted revenue rose 21% year on year to $10.15 billion, also beating forecasts, while free cash flow reached $2.11 billion. On the back of the stronger quarter, the company raised its full-year outlook, projecting adjusted earnings per share of $5.60 to $5.80, up from a previous range of $5.10 to $5.45. It now sees adjusted operating profit of $8.2 billion to $8.58 billion, versus prior guidance of up to $8.2 billion. Longer-term, GE Aerospace targets about $8.40 in adjusted EPS and roughly $11.5 billion in operating profit for 2028, and plans to return $20 billion to $24 billion to shareholders over 2024–26. Chief Executive Officer Larry Culp said the company is "slightly more optimistic" about spare-parts and engine sales to China than earlier in the year, though he cautioned that tariffs remain a headwind the firm cannot fully offset without working with airline customers. GE Aerospace shares rose about 1% in pre-market trading, extending a rally that has brought the stock to its highest level in 25 years.
