GE Aerospace's stock price surged 5.01% during intraday trading on Friday, reflecting strong investor confidence in the company's position within a booming aviation sector.
The movement comes amid reports that the aviation industry is grappling with supply chain challenges that have become the "new norm," exacerbated by record-breaking global passenger demand. According to industry executives, airlines are being forced to keep older aircraft flying longer due to parts shortages and delivery delays from major manufacturers.
Notably, CFM International, a key joint venture between GE Aerospace and Safran, has successfully increased engine production by 25% in 2025 to meet this "incredible" demand. The company's CEO stated that output is expected to continue growing by at least 10% annually, highlighting GE Aerospace's operational ramp-up and strong positioning to capitalize on the sustained industry recovery and growth.
