GE Aerospace is the global leader in designing, manufacturing, and servicing large aircraft engines, along with partner Safran in their CFM joint venture. With its massive global installed base of nearly 70,000 commercial and military engines, GE Aerospace earns most of its profits on recurring service revenue of that equipment, which operates for decades. GE Aerospace is the remaining core business of the company formed in 1892 with historical ties to American inventor Thomas Edison; that company became a storied conglomerate with peak revenue of $130 billion in 2000 until GE spun off its appliance, finance, healthcare, and wind and power businesses between 2016 and 2024.

GE Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) has maintained strong stock performance in recent months, driven by robust aerospace demand and operational efficiency gains. Expanding margins, solid order volumes, and tariff-driven pricing strategies have all contributed to investor optimism.
The stock has climbed over 46% year to date. It is currently trading near $244, well above its 50-day moving average of around $235, and approaching its 52-week high of $260.55.
On July 7, GE Aerospace <a target="_blank" href="https://www.geaerospace.com/news/press-releases/china-airlines-signs-multi-year-service-agreement-ge-aerospace-ge9x-engines" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced</a> a multi-year service, repair, and overhaul (MRO) agreement with China Airlines covering GE9X engines for its 14 Boeing 777X aircraft. The deal reinforces a partnership that dates back to 1999, when China Airlines began operating GE90 and GEnx-powered fleets. The GE9X engine is noted for delivering 10% better fuel efficiency than its predecessor and is fully compatible with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The move reflects the company&#8217;s effort to maintain margin stability amid trade-related cost pressures.
In the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44921124/ge-aerospace-expands-q1-operating-margins-ceo-talks-cost-control-to-mitigate-tariff-impact" rel="noreferrer noopener">first quarter of 2025</a>, GE Aerospace reported strong results, with revenue rising 11% year over year to $9.94 billion. Adjusted earnings per share jumped 60% to $1.49, beating the consensus estimate of $1.26. Operating margins also expanded significantly.
The company reaffirmed its full-year 2025 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GE/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">guidance</a>, forecasting low double-digit revenue growth and EPS between $5.10 and $5.45, compared to a consensus estimate of $6.135.
The market is looking ahead to GE Aerospace&#8217;s second-quarter earnings, with analysts anticipating continued growth in service revenue and further pricing momentum tied to tariff pass-throughs.
In June, RBC Capital reiterated its Outperform rating on GE Aerospace and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GE/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">raised</a> its price forecast to $275. Meanwhile, options market <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/07/46223636/behind-the-scenes-of-ge-aerospaces-latest-options-trends" rel="noreferrer noopener">data</a> pointed to strong institutional activity ahead of the company&#8217;s second-quarter earnings report.

GE Aerospace Climbs 46% In 2025 As Investors Eye Tariff Strategy, Earnings

Honeywell International Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>) announced Monday that it is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46291891/honeywell-to-evaluate-strategic-alternatives-for-productivity-solutions-and-services-and-warehouse" rel="noreferrer noopener">weighing strategic options</a> for two of its logistics-focused business units, part of an ongoing restructuring designed to streamline operations ahead of a major corporate split slated for 2026.
Honeywell is exploring potential paths for its Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) units, both of which cater to the transportation and logistics sectors. These deliberations come as the company positions itself to emerge as a dedicated automation player following the planned separation of its aerospace and materials divisions.
Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of the company, said the move aligns with Honeywell&#8217;s goal of sharpening its focus on industrial, process, and building automation. Once the spin-offs are complete, Honeywell aims to concentrate exclusively on markets with robust long-term growth prospects.

PSS, which brought in more than $1 billion in revenue last year, provides mobile computing and barcode solutions for warehouses. WWS, which operates under the Intelligrated and Transnorm brands, generated nearly $1 billion in 2024 through supply chain automation tools such as sortation systems, robotics, and conveyor systems. Both units boast established customer bases and wide-ranging product portfolios.
Although the company hasn&#8217;t committed to a specific outcome, the review process will run concurrently with Honeywell&#8217;s broader corporate reshaping. It won&#8217;t impact existing plans to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/24/12/42505835/honeywell-advances-strategic-review-explores-aerospace-business-separation" rel="noreferrer noopener">spin off</a> the Solstice Advanced Materials business by early 2026 and the aerospace division in the second half of the same year.
As part of the restructuring, Honeywell also appointed Jim Masso to lead its process automation division, effective July 14. Masso, a seasoned executive with two decades of experience across energy and industrial sectors, most recently served as CEO of Allied Power Group and held key leadership roles at General Electric Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>).

GE Aerospace Announces It Reached Multi-Year Service Agreement With China Airlines; Multi-Year Service Agreement Covers Maintenance Repair & Overhaul Of GE9X Engines For Airline's 14 New Boeing 777X Aircraft

Lockheed Martin Corp. is a defense company that uses its capital to generate profits most efficiently as compared to its peers; however, the year-over-year growth of this specific metric has been tepid.
What Happened: A company&#8217;s capital efficiency, or how profitable a company is with the capital it has put to use, is measured by ROCE or Return on Capital Employed.
When a company demonstrates consistently growing ROCE, it signals its ability to be a compounding machine, skillfully reinvesting profits back into the business for increasingly higher returns.
In the case of defense stocks, Lockheed Martin has the highest ROCE among its peers, representing the management&#8217;s effectiveness in deploying capital for productive use.
As of the quarter ending March, LMT had an ROCE of 25.71%, higher than 22.97% from the same quarter of the previous year, highlights GuruFocus data.
As the year-over-year expansion was minimal, it might not be a super high-growth stock; however, Lockheed Martin&#8217;s solid 25.71% return on capital shows it&#8217;s running a really efficient business.
That strong performance probably explains why Lockheed Martin is a high-yielding stock and has a history of consistent dividend increases, with the current dividend yield at 2.85%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LMT/dividends">Benzinga</a>. 
Here is a list of a few other defense stocks with their current ROCE.

Howmet Aerospace Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HWM#NYSE">HWM</a>) has recently seen a positive stock performance trend, driven by strong aerospace demand and improved operational efficiency.
Howmet Aerospace shares climbed this week, rebounding from a brief pullback. The stock jumped more than 4% on June 27 and, after a minor dip on July 1, is hovering between $184 and $186.
Wall Street sentiment continues to favor Howmet. RBC Capital reiterated its Outperform <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HWM/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">rating</a> and raised its price forecast to $200. Truist Securities also reaffirmed its Buy rating, lifting its forecast to $192, citing strong aerospace demand and improved operational efficiency.

In late June, Howmet awarded CEO John C. Plant a $45 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/secfilings/25/06/46154214/howmet-aerospace-inc-general-corporate-statement-form8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">retention grant</a> in restricted stock units (RSUs), set to vest in 2028. A related Form 4 filing disclosed that Plant received 255,363 RSUs. His base salary of $1.8 million and bonus eligibility remain unchanged under the amended agreement.
In the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45139061/howmet-aerospace-confident-of-passing-tariff-costs-to-customers-stock-takes-off" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">first quarter</a>, Howmet posted revenue of $1.94 billion, up 6.5% year over year. Adjusted earnings per share surged 51% to 86 cents, surpassing Wall Street estimates.
The company raised its full-year 2025 revenue outlook to between $7.88 billion and $8.18 billion &nbsp;(prior $7.93 $billion-$8.13 billion), above the $8.07 billion consensus. EPS guidance was also boosted to a range of $3.36 to $3.44 (prior $3.13-$3.21) ahead of the $3.27 average estimate.
The company is scheduled to report second-quarter results on July 29. Analysts forecast revenue of $1.98 billion-$2.00 billion versus the consensus of $2.00 billion, and EPS expected between $0.85 and $0.87 versus the consensus of $0.80.
Howmet shares have a 52-week range of $76.99 to $187.51. After falling nearly 39% from their February highs to April lows, the stock rebounded more than 30% in the past three months. Year-to-date, it&#8217;s up approximately 64% and is trading about 6.5% above its 50-day simple moving average.
Other aerospace names, including RTX Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>) and General Electric Co.

10 Industrials Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Risk appetite surged at the end of the trading week, with the S&amp;P 500 breaking above 6,190 and the Nasdaq 100 extending all-time highs, as investors responded to easing trade tensions and geopolitical <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">risks with robust buying.</a>
President Donald Trump said the U.S. is in the process of finalizing multiple trade agreements, suggesting that four to five deals are either completed or close to completion ahead of a key July 9 deadline. Sentiment was further lifted after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed a new U.S.-China trade accord that includes tariff reductions and safeguards for rare earth imports.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Dow Eyes 44,000 As Blue Chips Shine</h1>
The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed steadily near the 44,000 mark, outperforming other major indexes on the back of major gains among blue-chip names.
Nike Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) jumped 18%, marking its best trading day ever, after reporting quarterly earnings that crushed Wall Street expectations. Boeing Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) advanced 4% following a bullish analyst note from RedBurn Atlantic.
NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) extended its leadership role in the AI sector and beyond, pushing past a $3.8 trillion market capitalization and reinforcing its position as the world's most valuable company.
GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) gained 3.5%, reaching its highest level in 17 years. 
Nearly every S&amp;P sector closed in the green except for energy, which lagged sharply as oil prices headed for their worst weekly drop since March 2023. The easing of military tensions in the Middle East helped pull crude lower, capping a volatile stretch for commodities.
Gold also saw selling pressure, dropping 1.6% to $3,270 per ounce, as traders rotated into risk assets and shrugged off traditional safe havens.
The U.S. dollar extended its losing streak to a seventh straight session, dragging the U.S. Dollar Index to its lowest level since February 2022 — just before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The dollar is now on track for its worst first half of a year since 1991, weighed down by dovish Fed expectations and U.S. fiscal uncertainties.

$1000 Invested In This Stock 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Indian authorities have successfully extracted the black box data from the Air India flight that tragically crashed earlier this month, India&#8217;s civil aviation ministry said on Thursday. This step was long-awaited and is expected to provide crucial insights into the cause of the disaster.
What Happened: The Civil Aviation Ministry of India announced the recovery of the black box data from the Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 787 Dreamliner that crashed in Ahmedabad, India, on June 12, killing 260 people, Reuters reported. The aircraft was flying to London when it crashed shortly after takeoff. The recovery of the Cockpit Voice Recorder and Flight Data Recorder is a crucial step.
The Ministry, in a statement, said, &#8220;These efforts aim to reconstruct the sequence of events leading to the accident and identify contributing factors to enhance aviation safety and prevent future occurrences.&#8221;

The data was accessed by a team led by India&#8217;s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau in collaboration with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board. The investigation is expected to focus on the aircraft&#8217;s engine thrust, among other factors.
Why It Matters: The recovery of the black box data is a significant development in the investigation into the Air India crash. This step is expected to provide critical insights into the events leading up to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899174/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-ba-stock-falls-over-5-in-thursday-pre-market">disaster</a>, potentially shedding light on the causes and contributing factors.
The fatal crash has had a significant impact on the aviation industry, particularly on Boeing. The incident has raised questions about the safety and quality of Boeing aircraft, leading to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45991614/if-its-boeing-im-not-going-why-some-people-are-turning-their-backs-on-the-american-plane-maker-in-favor-of-rival-airbus">a shift in public perception</a> and potential consequences for the company&#8217;s future.&nbsp;
Involvement of two major U.S. aerospace players, Boeing and GE, in the aircraft, places them at the center of the investigation, with potential legal and reputational risks.
Price in Action: Boeing has gained 1.85% during regular trading and closed at approximately $202.58,  according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.
Benzinga's Edge Stock Rankings indicates Boeing stock has a Momentum in the 71st percentile. How does the stock stack up against other aviation players? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-3/#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Find out here.</a>

$1000 Invested In GE Aerospace 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

BlackRock, in its latest note, highlighted the defense sector as a prime investment opportunity, driven by accelerating geopolitical fragmentation and a global emphasis on national security.
What Happened: The financial giant is sharpening its focus on specific regions and technologies, with a strong preference for the United States.
According to BlackRock, the U.S. stands out due to its substantial defense expenditure, which, as SIPRI data indicates, &#8220;spends more than double on defense than Europe.&#8221;
Furthermore, the U.S. is home to the most sophisticated defense and defense technology firms, serving as a key supplier for critical systems like air and missile defense for many nations.
Within the defense sector, BlackRock highlights significant prospects in defense tech. This broad category encompasses not only artificial intelligence (AI) and software companies but also essential IT services and hardware, such as semiconductors, that power advanced defense capabilities.
The firm anticipates that numerous private defense tech companies could launch initial public offerings (IPOs) in the coming years, offering public market investors new avenues into this expanding theme. Space tech is another area of interest, expected to benefit from intensifying strategic competition.
BlackRock notes that &#8220;growing geopolitical fragmentation and strategic competition in AI are reinforcing the global focus on national security and resilience – creating opportunities in defense.&#8221; This underscores a selective approach to defense investments, where technological superiority and robust national security infrastructure are becoming paramount.
Here&#8217;s a list of some defense and defense tech stocks and global exchange-traded funds that investors could consider.

However, the Foreign Minister of Iran, Syed Abbas Araghchi, refuted claims of a ceasefire, saying that there was "no agreement" for cessation of military operations, in a post on X.
