Launch Catch-Up — Results Announced October 20, 2026
GE Aerospace reported third-quarter orders of $19 billion, up 49% from a year earlier, and reported revenue of $14.1 billion, up 16%, in its October 20 results.
Reported profit rose 12% to $2.8 billion. Earnings from continuing operations reached $2.32 a share, compared with adjusted earnings of $2.25. The adjusted figure excludes specified items and is a different measure from reported earnings.
Operating cash fell 14% to $2.2 billion. Free cash flow, the company’s supplemental cash measure, also declined 14% to $2 billion.
Commercial engine deliveries increased 8%, including 5% growth in LEAP deliveries. GE attributed stronger commercial-engine and services revenue to additional shop work, spare-parts demand and equipment sales.
The company raised its annual outlook and said it expects low-double-digit commercial-services growth in 2027, supported by a backlog exceeding $170 billion. Those expectations are forecasts; orders and backlog do not represent revenue already recognized.
