GE Aerospace Acquires Consolidated Precision Products for $11.7 Billion
On September 8, 2026, GE Aerospace announced the acquisition of private company Consolidated Precision Products (CPP) in a deal valued at approximately $11.7 billion. CPP is one of four major component manufacturers producing jet turbine blades and other precision parts for aerospace applications. The move represents a strategic effort by GE to vertically integrate its supply chain, ensuring better control over critical components amid rising demand in the aviation sector. The acquisition was funded using cash on hand and debt rather than stock issuance, which is expected to make it earnings per share (EPS) accretive in year one. However, analysts noted that the deal's 26 times EBITDA valuation is high for an industrial transaction, though justified by GE’s own elevated multiples and strategic rationale. While not a transformative financial move, the acquisition strengthens GE Aerospace’s position in aerospace manufacturing and signals confidence in long-term industry growth.
