    **ALEX:** Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown where we take the dense stuff from earnings calls and turn it into something you'd actually want to listen to. I'm Alex.

    **JORDAN:** And I'm Jordan. And Alex, before we get into today's company, we gotta say this.

    **ALEX:** Right. This podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN:** Okay, with that out of the way — today we're talking GE Aerospace, ticker GE, Q3 2026 results, reported October 20th.

    **ALEX:** And Jordan, I'll just say it — this was a genuinely blowout quarter. Orders up 49% company-wide. Revenue up 18%. Operating profit up 30%. EPS up 36%. If you're an investor in this name, that's about as clean a sweep as you can ask for.

    **JORDAN:** It really is. And the engine — pun intended — behind all of it is their Commercial Engines and Services segment, CES. Orders there were up 58%. Services orders alone, up 23% in the quarter, 30% year-to-date. That's the sixth straight quarter of at least 20% revenue growth in that segment.

    **ALEX:** Six quarters! That's not a blip, that's a trend. And it's being driven by this massive backlog — over $170 billion now. CEO Larry Culp talked about the Farnborough Airshow where they locked in commitments for more than 1,800 engines, including that IndiGo deal — the largest LEAP engine agreement ever, over 1,000 engines for their A320neo fleet.

    **JORDAN:** And just last week, before this call even happened, they announced Turkish Airlines — over 300 LEAP-1B engines plus a long-term service deal covering their entire 600-plus engine fleet. So the order book just keeps stacking up.

    **ALEX:** Let's talk numbers a bit more. CFO Rahul Ghai broke down margins — 22.5% operating margin, up 220 basis points year-over-year. Free cash flow came in over $2 billion for the quarter, $6.7 billion year-to-date, which is 105% conversion of earnings into cash. That's a really healthy number.

    **JORDAN:** And because of all this strength, they raised full-year 2026 guidance across the board. Revenue growth now expected at 19-20%, up from high teens. EPS guidance bumped to $8 to $8.10, up 30 cents at the midpoint. Free cash flow guidance raised to $9.1 to $9.4 billion.

    **ALEX:** And here's the one that really jumped out to me — they gave an early look at 2027, guiding to low double-digit growth in commercial services. That's based on the sheer size of that backlog and engines that are already flying and will need shop visits.

    **JORDAN:** Right, and this is where it gets interesting operationally. They're using something called "Flight Deck" — their lean operating system — to attack bottlenecks. One example: they reoriented a LEAP fan assembly production line and more than doubled output just through better workflow design, not new equipment.

    **ALEX:** And there's an AI angle too, which feels very on-brand for 2026. At their Celma MRO site in Brazil, they built an AI tool to automate technical records collection for CFM56 engine shop visits — cut processing time by about 25%.

    **JORDAN:** That stuff matters more than people realize. Turnaround times on shop visits are down over a week since the end of last year, LEAP specifically down two weeks. And probably the headline operational win — LEAP-related grounded aircraft, the AOG number, is down to near zero since summer. That's been a persistent pain point for airlines, so that's a real customer-facing win.

    **ALEX:** Big strategic news too — the agreement to acquire Consolidated Precision Products, or CPP. This is about securing capacity for mission-critical castings industry-wide, and also accelerating next-gen engine cooling technology. Culp mention

    Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown of the companies moving the market. I'm about to walk through GE Aerospace's Q2 2026 results.

    ALEX: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown. I'm Alex, here with Jordan, and today we're digging into GE Aerospace's second quarter 2026 numbers. Before we get into it — quick disclaimer: this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    JORDAN: And GE Aerospace gave us a lot to talk about this quarter, Alex. This wasn't just a beat — they raised guidance across the board.

    ALEX: Right, let's start with the headline numbers. Orders up 17%, revenue up 24% — that's the fifth straight quarter of at least 20% revenue growth — operating profit up 18%, EPS up 22% to $2.02, and free cash flow jumped 43% to $3 billion.

    JORDAN: That free cash flow number really stood out to me. They actually reduced working capital even while earnings grew 24%. CFO Rahul Ghai called that out specifically — better receivables, better inventory management. That's not easy to pull off when you're scaling this fast.

    ALEX: And both segments contributed. Commercial Engines and Services, or CES, was up 27% in revenue, and Defense and Propulsion, DPT, grew 16%. CES margins did dip about 130 basis points to 21.7%, but that's from investing in installed engine growth — basically the cost of feeding future services revenue.

    JORDAN: Which is the classic GE Aerospace story right now — sell more engines at lower margin today, because those engines come back for decades of high-margin maintenance work. Their backlog is over $210 billion total, with $170 billion of that in commercial services alone.

    ALEX: So given all that strength, they raised full-year guidance pretty significantly. Revenue now expected to grow high teens, up from low double digits. EPS guidance moved to $7.65 to $7.85, and free cash flow guidance jumped to $8.9 to $9.2 billion.

    JORDAN: What's interesting is CEO Larry Culp explained why they didn't raise guidance last quarter despite a strong Q1 — there was real geopolitical and demand uncertainty back in April. He said flat out, "we would play April all over again in the same way." They wanted to see how customer behavior actually played out before getting ahead of themselves.

    ALEX: And it turns out demand held up remarkably well. Culp mentioned parked CFM56 aircraft have actually declined since March, and departures — which were roughly flat in the first half — are expected to gradually pick back up in the second half.

    JORDAN: The demand side really isn't the constraint here anymore. Multiple times on the call, both Culp and Ghai said this is now a supply-side story, not a demand-side one. Spare parts delinquencies — meaning shipments delayed due to material availability — were actually up 20% sequentially, even as they're growing spare parts revenue over 25%.

    ALEX: That's a good problem to have, but still a real constraint. They talked about using their "Flight Deck" operational system to chip away at it — things like a Kaizen event with supplier GKN that led to a 90% improvement in inspection time, and AI-driven demand signal processing that cut processing time by nearly 90% across 190 parts.

    JORDAN: And on the product side, a big milestone — they certified the LEAP-1B durability kit, which should roughly double time on wing. That's huge for airlines worried about engine cost of ownership, which came up multiple times in the Q&A. Analysts pushed hard on whether airlines can keep absorbing these costs.

    ALEX: Culp's answer was essentially: we hear you, we're not taking a victory lap, but we're doing everything we can short-term — like getting LEAP

    # Beta Finch Podcast Script: GE Aerospace Q1 2026 Earnings

    **ALEX**: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown where we dive into the numbers that matter. I'm Alex, and I'm here with my co-host Jordan to unpack GE Aerospace's first quarter 2026 results.

    **JORDAN**: Hey everyone! And before we jump in, Alex, we need to make sure our listeners know that this podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **ALEX**: Absolutely, Jordan. Now, let's talk about GE Aerospace - and wow, what a quarter this was! The aerospace giant just delivered some seriously impressive numbers despite operating in what CEO Larry Culp called "a dynamic geopolitical environment."

    **JORDAN**: Right off the bat, Alex, these top-line numbers are eye-popping. Orders up 87% - that's not a typo, folks - with their Commercial Engines & Services segment nearly doubling. Revenue jumped 29%, operating profit grew 18%, and earnings per share increased 25% to $1.86.

    **ALEX**: And let's not forget free cash flow up 14% to $1.7 billion. But Jordan, what really caught my attention was how they're navigating the Middle East conflict. They're being pretty transparent about the headwinds - reducing their full-year air traffic departures outlook from mid-single-digit growth to flat to low single-digit growth.

    **JORDAN**: That's a great point, Alex. It shows mature management recognizing reality while still delivering strong results. What's fascinating is their services backlog - over $170 billion, up nearly $30 billion since 2024. That's incredible visibility for a cyclical business.

    **ALEX**: Speaking of services, their spare parts business is absolutely on fire. Demand is so strong that they're actually seeing delinquencies - meaning they can't ship parts fast enough to meet demand. Spare parts orders are up over 30% year-over-year, and they're entering Q2 with more than 95% of spare parts revenue already in backlog.

    **JORDAN**: It's almost a good problem to have, right? Though I'm sure their customers don't love waiting for parts. What really stood out to me was their "Flight Deck" initiative - this is their digital transformation program that's apparently changing how they operate. They gave some concrete examples, like helping a supplier increase output by over 40% and reducing LEAP engine repair times by over 50%.

    **ALEX**: That's the kind of operational excellence that creates lasting competitive advantages. And speaking of competitive advantages, let's talk about their market position. They've got 80,000 engines in their fleet with more than 2.3 billion flight hours of experience.

    **JORDAN**: Plus they're investing heavily in the future - $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing for the second consecutive year, plus $100 million in supplier equipment and tooling. They're not just managing the present; they're building for the next decade.

    **ALEX**: Now, let's dig into the segments. Commercial Engines & Services saw orders grow 93%, with services up 49% and equipment more than tripling. Their LEAP engine program continues to be a star performer with deliveries up 63%.

    **JORDAN**: And on the defense side - Defense & Propulsion Technologies had orders up 67%, including a massive $1.4 billion contract for T408 engines for the Marine Corps. This is their second consecutive quarter with defense book-to-bill above 2, which means they're winning more new business than they're delivering.

    **ALEX**: The Q&A session revealed some interesting insights too. When asked about potential prebuying by customers ahead of disruptions, CEO Culp was pretty clear - they're not seeing that behavior. The strength is genuine demand, not artificial pulling forward of orders.

    **JORDAN**: What I found reassuring was their discussion about airline retirements. CFM56 retir
