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.
In the last little while this has gone down quite a lot, and a lot of that has to do with currency. It was a darling after the global financial crisis, because it had sold off a lot of their financial assets. Now that that process is largely done, it is much more of a pure play cyclical industrial company, with global scope and obviously global “best of breed”. We are now in an environment where it has exposure to oil with the Baker Hughes acquisition. The market doesn’t care about GE services at this point. We are now at a point where this has a very low valuation. Its balance sheet is reasonable and the dividend is definitely safe. It will grow over time. 4% dividend yield.
