    GE Aerospace buys CPP for $11.75B to internalize 25% castings — GE engine backlog de-risking

    Question

    GE Aerospace buys CPP for $11.75B to internalize 25% castings — GE engine backlog de-risking

    Direct answer

    GE's $11.75B CPP acquisition brings roughly 25% of structural casting volume in-house, reducing LEAP and defense propulsion bottlenecks. Financing, regulatory or integration slippage that fails to improve delivery schedules invalidates the spread. — bullish pressure on GE.
