8. GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders In Q4 2024: 101

GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) makes commercial and military aircraft engines.

The stock is up significantly so far in 2025 due to the company announcing a strong profit outlook for 2025, coupled with plans to increase its share buyback program to $7 billion and raise its dividend by 30%.

The company benefited from high demand for its jet engines and maintenance services due to production delays at Boeing and Airbus, which forced airlines to operate older aircraft requiring more frequent maintenance.

Q4 2024 results also exceeded expectations, with a 44% increase in profit from the commercial engines division and a 19% revenue growth year-over-year.

On top of that, GE Aerospace announced plans to invest nearly $1 billion in its U.S. factories and supply chain in 2025. This was double the previous year’s investment.

The consensus price target of $211.31 implies 0.41% downside.

GE stock is up 27.42% year-to-date.
