GE Aerospace, Northrop Grumman, and RTX Raise 2026 Profit Forecasts Amid Strong Demand
GE Aerospace has raised its 2026 profit forecast twice this year, driven by strong demand for engine maintenance and spare parts despite rising jet fuel costs affecting airlines. Meanwhile, Northrop Grumman and RTX also increased their annual profit forecasts due to robust military demand and record backlogs. Sustained commercial aerospace services and heightened geopolitical tensions have supported growth across these aerospace and defense contractors, although GE Aerospace noted potential risks from higher fuel prices.
