What happened
GE Aerospace (GE) stock reports third-quarter earnings Tuesday before the open, with Wall Street expecting $2.01 per share on $12.9B in revenue, up about 14% from a year ago. Last quarter, the jet-engine maker earned $2.02 per share, up 22% from a year earlier, and raised its full-year profit forecast (guidance) to $7.65 to $7.85 per share. This quarter's expected profit is about 21% above the $1.66 earned a year ago. GE has beaten profit expectations four quarters in a row, though it has missed sales estimates several times in two years.
Why it matters
GE Aerospace (GE) makes and services many of the engines on passenger jets, so its results show how healthy air travel and aircraft production are. Strong numbers would suggest airlines are still paying for engine repairs and parts. Any warning about supply shortages or a weaker forecast could weigh on the shares. The stock is up only 4.7% this year, while rival RTX is up 20.7%.
