Revenue growth at 18.5% year over year — +331% above the sector median of 4.3% — and EPS growth of 35.9% place GE Aerospace firmly in the top quartile of the Industrials sector on momentum. FCF grew 142.7%, far above the sector median of 1.0%, and the last eight quarters show a strong beat-rate track record against consensus estimates. The F-Score of 5/9 reflects mixed signals: profitability holds up, but the Leverage & liquidity sub-score is weak, with Debt/EBITDA at 2.4× against a sector median of 2.3×. The price paid for that growth is steep — EV/EBITDA of 47.9× runs +176% above the sector median of 17.4×, and P/B of 20.8× sits +135% above its median of 8.8×. Consensus growth forecasts align with the realized three-year EPS CAGR per SEC filings, which is the rare case where the market's model and the historical record point in the same direction — though the forward PEG reads as stretched.

Quarter-by-quarter classification · a retrospective read by the current logic · not a price forecast
Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice. The method did not see these quarters in real time; this is the current logic applied to past reports.
A simplified retrospective read: no analyst forecast (not available historically); the source is the annual report as of the date, so neighbouring quarters can rest on the same data. Quarters with the same classification in a row are merged into one row — each row is one change in the read, not a separate quarter. One ticker is an illustration of the classification logic, not statistics.
The market prices in earnings growth; analyst sentiment is steady; has mostly beaten consensus.
Price against next year's expected earnings. The forward P/E already carries analyst optimism — read it alongside the “Versus consensus” line.
A forward P/E below the current one means the market expects earnings to grow; above it, to fall. The historical growth is realized figures from SEC filings, not a forecast.
The three-month change in the share of positive analyst ratings. This is sentiment, not an earnings-estimate revision, and not a call to act.
When GE Aerospace reports on October 19, 2026, track whether revenue growth holds above the sector median pace of roughly 1% and whether FCF conversion sustains the momentum that pushed FCF growth to nearly 148× the median. A slip in the profitability F-Score sub-signals — currently 3/4 — would warrant a recheck of the valuation premium.
On SEC EDGAR, open GE Aerospace's most recent 10-K and focus on the Leverage and Liquidity section; the F-Score flags only 1/3 there, pointing to pressure worth understanding in detail. Cross-reference management's discussion of capital allocation against the P/B of 8.84×, which sits 2.4× above the Industrials sector median.
From the same-sector table in section 06, pick two or three companies yourself and line up one metric — EV/EBITDA or P/B — against GE's 17.4× and 8.84× respectively. The table is alphabetical with no ranking, so the comparison is yours to frame in sector-relative terms.

Rule-based classification of fundamentals against the sector. Not a price forecast and not investment advice.
The last few quarters are recent context, not a fixed rate. Consensus for near quarters is set low, so companies clear it routinely; over long horizons the forecasts run the other way, too high.
