The current bull market has officially hit its two-year milestone, overcoming recession fears, elevated interest<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates"> rates, and persistent skepticism.</a>
Since bottoming out on October 12, 2022, the S&amp;P 500 has soared 63%, driven by a resilient economy and impressive corporate earnings. Gains have been further amplified by optimism around productivity and breakthroughs in artificial intelligence.
Defying all expectations, the S&amp;P 500 is now trading at record highs, solidifying this as one of the most resilient—and surprising—bull markets in history.
&#8220;It is hard to believe that only two years ago the S&amp;P 500 closed at 3,577 as investors feared inflation was entrenched after wholesale inflation data unexpectedly ticked higher that day,&#8221; said Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist at LPL Financial.
Looking back, this day marked the birth of a bull market—one that has grown against the odds and market skepticism. Quoting legendary investor John Templeton, Turnquist added "Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria."
Veteran market strategist Ed Yardeni has been a vocal proponent of the bull market since its inception. Reflecting on the last two years, Yardeni stated, &#8220;The current bull market started two years ago, and we've loved it from the start, even though it was among the most widely hated bull markets in history.&#8221; 
Many critics expected a recession due to the Federal Reserve&#8217;s tightening cycle, but Yardeni and other bullish analysts remained confident in the economy&#8217;s resilience. As Yardeni points out, "The economy has instead remained highly resilient, which has been our forecast since early 2022."

This Analyst With 85% Accuracy Rate Sees Around 20% Upside In AMD - Here Are 5 Stock Picks For Last Week From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

GE Aero's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 22.76% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 10.20 million shares sold short, which is 0.95% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.9 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1728657912_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for GE Aero has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing GE Aero's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, GE Aero's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.98%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

However, over the past month, the company's stock increased by 11.11%, and in the past year, by 116.15%.

<h3>A Look at GE Aero P/E Relative to Its Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 72.2 in the Aerospace &amp; Defense industry, GE Aero Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 51.16. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1728585980_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Intraday Update

A Look Into GE Aero Inc's Price Over Earnings

Deutsche Bank analyst Scott Deuschle changed price targets and presented earnings previews for major Aerospace companies such as GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and Howmet Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HWM#NYSE">HWM</a>).
The analyst writes that these stocks are well-insulated against end-market challenges and are likely to achieve the largest earnings beats and drive significant upward revisions.
GE Aerospace: The analyst raised the price target to $235 from $212 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ge/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">while maintaining a Buy rating</a>.
Deuschle expects a 9% EPS beat in their base case and a 15% beat in the blue sky scenario for the third quarter.
In both cases, the analyst anticipates an increase in 2024 guidance, with a potential 7% EBIT rise if the blue sky scenario occurs.
Strong CSA collections from the summer flying season could drive free cash flow (FCF) above expectations, leading to an increase in FCF guidance, adds the analyst.
Overall, Deuschle says that they are optimistic ahead of the earnings release due to the potential for a significant beat and raise this quarter.

Howmet: The analyst raised the price target to $125 from $106 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hwm/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Buy rating</a>.
The analyst writes that the base case estimates third-quarter EPS at $0.68, above the Street&#8217;s $0.66, with a roughly 2% midpoint guidance increase.
The analyst cited upside drivers such as pricing strategies, strong execution allowing shipments above long-term agreement caps, and earlier-than-expected generation 2 LEAP HPT blade shipments.
Deuschle expects HWM to guide 2025 revenue in line with the Street (+10%), which could trigger further positive revisions, given a higher 2024 base and likely surprises in Engine Products EBITDA margins.

For Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), the analyst lowered the price target to $195 from $225 while <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BA/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">maintaining a Buy rating</a>.
The analyst anticipates a third-quarter free cash flow burn of ($4.0 billion), up from a previous estimate of ($2.4 billion), due to the strike&#8217;s impact on September deliveries and ongoing cash pressures in Boeing&#8217;s Defense segment.
The forecast includes a $1 billion EBIT loss at Boeing Defense Systems (BDS) and a $1.6 billion loss at Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA), adds the analyst.
Deuschle says that BCA loss forecast assumes a $1 billion forward loss on the 777X, reflecting delays in entry into service and increased costs related to union negotiations and wage hikes.

$100 Invested In GE Aero 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

GE Vernova (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gev#NYSE">GEV</a>) is a relatively new stock that has nearly doubled its value since it started trading in March.&nbsp;The stalwart American firm General Electric (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ge#NYSE">GE</a>) spun it off, and it is now a $70 billion industrial company. Even after a massive price increase, several Wall Street analysts at big-name firms still see more room for the stock to run. So, what exactly does GE Vernova do, and is it a compelling investment?
<h2>GE Vernova: Electrifying the World</h2>
GE Vernova is a parts, maintenance, and technology provider to electricity generation facilities. The company works across many types of plants, including gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, steam, and wind power.
It is a leader in this space, claiming that its installed base generates 30% of the world&#39;s electricity. The term &quot;installed base&quot; represents the total number of plant products currently in use, including gas and wind turbines. The company typically divides its revenues almost equally between its products and services.
So far, in 2024, 42% of the company&#39;s revenue is attributable to its gas products and services. Wind accounts for 24%, and the company&#39;s electrification segment accounts for 22%. Nuclear accounts for just around 3% of revenue.
The Power segment, which includes gas, hydro, nuclear, and steam, accounted for the vast majority of the company&#39;s profits. It has an earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin of 13.8%. The Wind segment is money-losing, with an EBITDA margin of -5.7%; however, that&#39;s a 430-basis-point improvement from last year. The Electrification segment has an EBITDA margin of 7.2%.
<h2>High Demand and Price Targets</h2>
Although the company is clearly reliant on its gas power solutions to make money right now, it is positive to see that all its segments are improving their margins. However, the wind segment saw a big drop in revenues of 21% last quarter compared to the previous year.
At this point, one very strong tailwind for GE Vernova is its remaining performance obligations (RPOs). These are revenues that the company has contracted but still needs to deliver the products and services before they can be recognized. RPOs now total $116 billion. That&#39;s around 14 times the company&#39;s revenue last quarter. This shows an extensive backlog and that demand for the company&#39;s solutions is very strong.
Additionally, 64% of these RPOs are for the company&#39;s services. This should help increase margins as services typically have higher margins than products. At the same time, they need to sell new products to maintain servicing revenue in the future. Seeing a mixture of demand for products and services is a good thing.
Wall Street analysts&#39; price targets for GE Verona are seemingly only moving in one direction: up. In September alone, the company has received at least 10 price target upgrades. Analysts at Bank of America recently raised their price target by 50%, which now sits at $300. Guggenheim also just initiated the stock with a $300 price target, and Jefferies raised their target to $293.
BofA and Guggenheim&#39;s targets represent the currently highest estimates for the stock. They imply that GE Verona&#39;s stock price could rise 17% from its Sept. 24 level of $256. However, taking the average of all the company&#39;s targets actually implies a downside of 11%. It&#39;s important to consider both these figures when thinking about GE Verona&#39;s potential value.
<h2>Electricity Demand Is a Big Tailwind, but GE Vernova&lsquo;s Plans Warrant Skepticism</h2>
Although the demand for GE Vernova&#39;s products is strong, I am not as bullish on this name as some. It plays a part in powering the AI and data center revolution, but that&#39;s not its main selling point.
Those firms are seeking nuclear energy, which is fully renewable. This isn&#39;t a big part of the company&#39;s business. It wants to fuel its gas turbines with hydrogen to decarbonize them. However, I believe the economics of doing this is still largely in question. The company says on its website, &quot;Major changes to policies, incentives, and infrastructure and initial investments need to be made to make hydrogen a competitive and viable option.&quot;
Additionally, the company is scaling back its wind business due to losses. Despite this, I believe GE Vernova will be a winner overall as demand for electricity continues to increase, especially in its electrification segment.

EMCOR Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EME#NYSE">EME</a>): The electrical and manufacturing construction and facilities services provider gained interest from readers over the week, which could be related to upcoming earnings or the recent Fed rate cut. 
The company is set to report third-quarter financial results in October. Analysts expect the company to report revenue of $3.77 billion and earnings per share of $4.98, up from $3.21 billion and $3.61, respectively, in last year's third quarter. 
EMCOR Group has beaten analyst revenue estimates in 16 straight quarters and earnings per share estimates in nine straight quarters. The recent interest rate cut could prove beneficial to the company as this could lead to increased spending by the private sector.
EMCOR shares were down 2% over the last five trading days, but remain up over 50% year-to-date.
