Safran/GE JV CFM International to Supply 300 Engines to Turkish Airlines

GE Aerospace plans to double its annual supply chain spending in India to $400 million by 2030. The increase, driven by growing domestic airline orders, will support new and existing engine components. The company collaborates with 17 global suppliers, including Tata Group and Mahindra, and operates manufacturing and engineering centers in Pune and Bengaluru. India's aircraft fleet expansion and local maintenance needs further support this investment.

RBC Capital and Citi maintained Buy ratings on GE Aerospace, with price targets of $400 and $431, respectively. The company reported Q2 revenue of $13.35B and net profit of $2.37B, up from last year. Insider sentiment is negative, with recent sales by executives.

GE Vernova's stock rose 0.20% to $928.29 on October 16, following a framework agreement with Venture Global for up to 16 power islands. The deal, which includes transformer equipment, could lead to a purchase order by year-end 2026. However, firm orders and pricing details are still pending, and the company's GF Score of 17/100 indicates weak fundamentals.
