Analyst Gavin Parsons of UBS, who ranks 1807 out of 12161 with a 64% success rate and 10.3% average return, reiterated his Buy rating on GE with a $350 price target. Parsons argues that revenue and margins are proving resilient, the recent sell-off looks overdone, and that services demand and orders point to a stronger baseline than the market currently prices in.
Parsons notes that management has taken a cautious stance in light of uncertainty around the Iran conflict, building potential second-half headwinds into guidance. Yet he believes guidance to 2026, even reiterated toward the high end, remains conservative, with upside driven mainly by services growth and LEAP engine margin expansion despite temporary drags like higher GE9X costs.
Bank of America analyst Ronald Epstein, ranked 177 out of 12161 with a 63.56% success rate and 20.5% average return, also reiterated a Buy on GE with a higher $365 price objective. Epstein highlights that while markets are focused on the Middle East conflict and its potential impact on 2026–2027 services, GE’s commercial services backlog above $170 billion and strong CES services revenue growth provide multi‑year visibility.
Epstein points to robust spare parts demand, rising shop visits, strong LEAP and widebody engine deliveries, and decade-high defense orders as support for the long-term earnings story. With both high-ranked analysts reiterating Buy ratings and seeing meaningful upside from today’s price, investors watching GE’s recent pullback may view it as a potential entry point rather than a sign of weakening fundamentals; never miss a stock rating and find all the latest ratings on TipRanks’ Top Wall Street Analysts page.
