GE Aerospace Is Making a $12 Billion Acquisition. Here's What Investors Should Know.

GE Aerospace announced a $11.75 billion acquisition of Consolidated Precision Products (CPP), its largest since becoming independent in 2024. The deal, financed with $7 billion in cash and new debt, aims to secure a key supplier and address supply chain constraints. GE expects CPP to generate $2 billion in revenue by 2027, boosting adjusted profit per share and free cash flow, though it faces antitrust scrutiny. GE's stock has risen 5% in 2026, trading at a premium with high P/E ratios.
