As of Jun 18, 2026. Market Open.
Pure play on aerospace powerhouse. Chart shows volatility, but sideways trading shows potential to move to the upside.
Sells an engine once, but generates decades of high-margin service revenue. Service backlog continues to build, giving it highly visible recurring revenue and cashflow. Concerns about economic slowdowns, but airlines are extending life of existing fleets (that means more maintenance, not less). Ranks 7/10 for her. Yield is 0.66%.
Now a pure-play aircraft engine market leader. Sees it still dominating the jet engine market. Value score of 3/10. Analysts still see ~15% upside. Technically, looks to be trying to break out above $170; if it goes higher, could see a bit of a breakout.
Looks to be hitting a ceiling. Great run, aerospace is an exceptional business. Hold in short term and take some profits soon.
Tremendous run over the last couple of years, so you need to be careful. You don't necessarily need to sell, but you need to be prudent by rebalancing and getting back to a level of risk you're comfortable with. Stick with the winners, and this one is. Still positive on it, but make sure you're not over-exposed.
General Electric (GE-N) or United Technologies (UTX-N)? This is an extremely well-run company. Even though the stock has performed poorly over the last many years, the new management has really transformed this company making it a more broadly diversified company and less reliant on financial services. He would love to see this pullback because he feels it is a really well-run, well diversified business, with huge free cash flow growth potential and with a healthy dividend. This would be his preference. Wait for a better entry point.
