Investing.com - UBS raised its price target on GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) to $321.00 from $300.00 on Friday, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. The aerospace giant, currently trading at $266.17 with a market capitalization of $282 billion, shows signs of being overvalued according to InvestingPro’s Fair Value model.

The firm cited strong end market demand, GE’s leading market position, and strong execution as key factors supporting the higher valuation. UBS noted that GE has years of visibility and conservative components within its guidance. This aligns with InvestingPro data showing impressive returns of 65% over the past year and 43% in the last six months, with revenue growth of 8.82%.

GE Aerospace raised both its 2025 and 2028 guidance, with UBS suggesting the revised assumptions still reflect the company’s typically conservative approach. The analyst firm pointed to several conservative elements in GE’s 2028 outlook, including low single-digit price increases and retirement rates for CFM56 engines at 3-4% compared to 1.5% this year.

UBS also highlighted GE’s flat Commercial Engine Services (CES) margin assumptions despite strong initial LEAP engine performance. The firm believes these conservative estimates leave room for potential upside.

The investment bank expects GE Aerospace’s earnings to compound at 20% with potential upside risk, supporting its view that the share price will move higher over the long term despite what it describes as an "undeniably elevated" current valuation at 36.8x earnings.
