Is GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating GE Aerospace at current levels.
The installed base is the asset. LEAP shop visits ramp into 2028, turning today's engine count into a 20-year annuity.
Where GE is headed
By 2028, GE Aerospace will be running the largest commercial engine services book in aviation history, and the math behind that sentence is the entire investment case. Roughly 70% of the world's narrowbody fleet flies on a CFM engine (the joint venture with Safran), and the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines powering the A320neo and 737 MAX families are only now entering their first heavy shop visits. An engine sold at near-zero margin in 2018 generates 15-20 years of high-margin spare parts and overhaul revenue. The shop visit wave that begins in earnest in 2026 and peaks around 2030 is the cash flow event the market keeps treating as a known quantity when it's actually still mispriced relative to duration.
