As of 2026-06-15, applying a 41.0x earnings multiple to GE Aerospace's (GE) earnings per share of $8.35 yields a fair value estimate of $458.96 per share, versus a market price of $345.26.
Fair value from earnings multiples is sensitive to the multiple you choose. Across the sensitivity grid the estimate spans $394.02 to $531.83. This is a relative estimate anchored to earnings, not a statement of fact. For a cash flow based view, see the intrinsic value estimate on the DCF page.
How our PE model works · Recalculate in PE mode · GE intrinsic value (DCF view)
At $345.26, GE trades about 24.8% below its PE-based fair value estimate, a modest discount to its earnings power, though not enough for us to call it cheap outright.
COMPETITIVE MOAT
↑Dominant Commercial Engine Market Share
GE Aerospace holds a commanding position in the commercial aircraft engine market. This dominance is reinforced by high switching costs for airlines and long product lifecycles.
↑Extensive MRO Network
A vast and established Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) network creates significant customer stickiness. This integrated service offering is difficult for competitors to replicate.
↑Technological Leadership & R&D
Continuous investment in advanced engine technology and research provides a competitive edge. This innovation pipeline ensures future product relevance and performance advantages.
INVESTMENT RISKS
↓Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
Global supply chain disruptions can impact production and delivery timelines. Reliance on specialized components makes GE susceptible to these external pressures.
↓Intensifying Competition
While dominant, GE faces increasing competition from established players and emerging technologies. New entrants could challenge market share over time.
↓Geopolitical and Regulatory Shifts
Changes in international trade policies, defense spending, and environmental regulations can affect demand and operational costs. These external factors introduce uncertainty.

The trailing twelve-month PE ratio of GE reflects how much investors pay per dollar of GE Aerospace's earnings. This metric is most useful when compared to Aerospace & Defense peers and the company's own historical range.
GE's PE of 41.4x combined with a PEG ratio of 1.61 provides a growth-adjusted perspective. A PEG near 1.0 suggests the PE ratio is reasonably justified by the earnings growth rate. Keep in mind that PE-based valuation works best for profitable, mature companies — for high-growth or cyclical Aerospace & Defense, a DCF analysis may be more appropriate.
To value GE Aerospace using PE: (1) Compare the current PE (41.4x) against the Aerospace & Defense median to assess relative pricing, (2) check the PEG ratio (1.61) to adjust for growth expectations, (3) review the 5-year PE range to identify where the stock sits historically, and (4) estimate fair value by multiplying a target PE by forward EPS estimates. This relative approach complements DCF's absolute valuation.
GE's PEG ratio is 1.61, calculated by dividing the PE ratio (41.4x) by the expected earnings growth rate. A PEG near 1.0 suggests the stock is fairly priced relative to growth. Note that PEG accuracy depends on the reliability of growth estimates.
PE ratio gives a quick relative read — how GE is priced versus Aerospace & Defense peers. DCF provides an absolute value based on projected free cash flows. For GE, with a strong ROE of 46.4%, both methods are worth using — PE for a market-relative check, DCF to stress-test whether fundamentals justify the price. Each method has blind spots: PE ignores capital structure and cash flow quality, while DCF is sensitive to growth and discount rate assumptions.
P/E and DCF value GE with different methods and assumptions, so the two conclusions can differ. Compare the DCF intrinsic value.
