GE’s aerospace division reported full-year orders backlog of $109 billion as of December 31, up 6% year-over-year. Fourth-quarter revenues reached $9.7 billion, marking an 8% increase compared to the same period a year prior, driven by higher demand for commercial jet engines and aftermarket services. Operating margins expanded by 150 basis points to 17.2%, reflecting improvements in factory productivity and cost controls.

For 2026, management forecasts mid-single-digit revenue growth and expects free cash flow generation of $4.5 billion to $5 billion, underpinned by continued ramp-up of narrowbody engine production and accelerating spare-parts sales.
