Track GE free→GE Aerospace grows revenue about 7% a year with strong defense contracts. Profit margins stay above 21%. Free cash flow is solid at about $8 billion. New tech deals boost future growth.
Revenue growth slows below 7%. Profit margins shrink under 20%. Free cash flow falls below $7 billion. Guidance cuts show risks to earnings.
The price is about 32% above our fair value near $280. Analysts expect 7% revenue growth. Our fair value is 24% below the Street median, so the market is stretched versus fundamentals.
