Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 18 days.
The thesis — published December 18, 2025
GE gives exposure to aircraft engines and services and has positive market attention from the Singapore Airshow. However, the stock rose sharply in 2025, and some say that price already reflects big improvements, which could limit short-term gains. The stock is not in a deeply discounted state, so a cautious plan is to buy on dips and expect slow gains, not a quick surge.
Primary drivers
- Strong backlog and services mean more predictable cash coming in
- Airshow attention can keep investors focused on aerospace prospects
- Big 2025 gain raises questions about whether the stock is already priced for improvement
- Waiting for pullbacks reduces risk since the stock is not deeply discounted
How it played out
GE: target reached in 18 days
Lyra published GE Aerospace at $298.04 on 2025-12-18 with 10% expected growth. The thesis pointed to aircraft engines and services, strong backlog, more predictable cash from services, and attention from the Singapore Airshow. It also said the stock had already risen sharply in 2025, so gains might be slow rather than quick.
Inside the window, the stock reached the $327.47 target in 18 days. It later peaked at $348.48 on 2026-02-25, a 16.9% gain. By 2026-03-18, it ended at $300.96. The thesis played out on the measured target, even though the closing price gave back much of the move.
