GE Aerospace has raised its 2026 financial guidance after reporting strong third-quarter growth, driven by commercial-engine maintenance and spare-parts demand. The Cincinnati-based manufacturer now expects adjusted revenue growth of approximately 19–20%, adjusted operating profit of 10.9–11.0 billion US dollars and adjusted earnings per share of 8.00–8.10 dollars.
Third-quarter total revenue rose 16% year on year to 14.1 billion dollars, while adjusted revenue increased 18% to 13.3 billion dollars. Adjusted operating profit climbed 30% to 3.0 billion dollars and adjusted earnings per share rose 36% to 2.25 dollars.
Commercial Engines & Services revenue increased 21% to 10.34 billion dollars. Services revenue grew 17%, while spare-parts revenue rose by more than 20%, reflecting continued demand for engine repairs, maintenance and replacement components despite pressure on airline profitability from higher fuel costs.
GE Aerospace lifted its previous operating-profit guidance of 10.55–10.75 billion dollars and its earlier adjusted EPS range of 7.65–7.85 dollars. Chief executive Larry Culp expects commercial-services revenue to grow at a low-double-digit rate in 2027, supported by a commercial-services backlog exceeding 170 billion dollars.
