What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Our framework reads AVOID: it trades above our $290.75 fair value estimate, moderate competitive moat, 21.10% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-09-08 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. The price runs 13.2% above the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 21 covering, consensus None. The average target sits +19% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Our more conservative model reads it as fully-to-richly valued here, while the Street is more bullish: a quality-at-a-fair-price name rather than a deep-value one.

The Business, in Plain Words
GE Aerospace - Ethical Fail Despite Profits
Imagine a company that powers the engines of commercial jets and military aircraft, an integral part of the world's skies. GE Aerospace, under the General Electric umbrella, does just that, controlling a significant share of the aerospace engine market. Yet, despite its robust position and 21% revenue growth, GE Aerospace has failed our ethical screen, primarily due to its business activities, which are not aligned with our ethical-first investment philosophy. Why we pass.
Despite a strong buy consensus rating from analysts and a target price significantly higher than the current market value, our fair value estimate stands at $290.75. This suggests a margin of safety of -16%, indicating the stock is overvalued, in our view. While the company boasts a healthy 18% profit margin and an impressive 48% ROE, the ethical failings overshadow these financial metrics.
The risk here is not only in the ethical domain but also in the high forward P/E ratio of 38.0x, which may not be sustainable, especially when paired with an ethical failing. GE Aerospace's moderate moat suggests it has some competitive advantage, but this is not enough to offset the ethical concerns in our book. Analysis, not advice.
