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.
Had never liked this because GE Capital masked a lot of the other returns, so the stock used to trade at a huge multiple because of their so-called stable earnings. It was a massive finance company that could manipulate the earnings. In 2008, it became unstable. They have a new CEO who has to 1) take a lot of costs out, 2) sell a lot of businesses and 3) cut the dividend. They’ll be having their investor day very soon, and thinks they should cut the dividend. Probably a great buy between $15 and $20.
