Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 95

GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) was mentioned during the episode of Mad Money and here’s what Cramer had to say:

“Third best performer of January was GE Aerospace. Yes, the part they left over after they spun off healthcare and power businesses. Now GE Aerospace finished January up 22%… A true blowout earnings report… delivered on January 23rd. Not only did the company smash expectations for the quarter, management also issued strong earnings and cashflow guidance for 2025.

They raised dividend by 30% and announced a new $7 billion buyback plan. What’s not the like? Geez, another stock with huge gains in recent years, but it’s a huge run, has been supported all the way by steadily improving numbers. So I think it is more staying power. I remain firmly bullish on GE Aerospace under the leadership of this remarkable turnaround artist chairman CEO Larry Culp. I really like him.”

GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) focuses on creating engines for commercial and military aircraft, along with offering integrated components, electric power systems, and mechanical systems for the aviation industry. Recently, Cramer praised Culp as he commented:

“Next, how about Larry Culp at the old General Electric? This company really stunk up the joint for so long, we almost had to believe GE was merely a practical joke played on the market. Larry Culp didn’t think it was all that funny though. He raised some cash by selling some good stuff because he knew every turnaround has to start with a balance sheet. Without a good balance sheet, the turn would be stillborn. Then he split the company into three separate businesses, GE HealthCare, GE Vernova, and GE Aerospace.”

Since its split in April 2024, GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) stock has gained nearly 50%.
