GE Aerospace beat Q2 estimates with adjusted EPS of $2.02, raised full-year EPS guidance, and holds a $210 billion engine and services backlog.
Boeing's 737 running at 42 per month and its $695 billion commercial backlog directly fuel demand for GE's LEAP and GEnx engine programs.
Culp flew a SAAB A340 testbed across the Atlantic on hybrid-electric power, calling it a strong proof point for next-generation commercial propulsion.

GE Aerospace CEO Larry Culp used a Farnborough Air Show appearance on CNBC this morning to spotlight its advanced technology and strong second-quarter results. GE Aerospace (NYSE:GE) said its testbed aircraft flew across the Atlantic under partial hybrid electric power to reach the show, then delivered a Q2 report that put commercial services growth, engine deliveries, and aftermarket spare parts all on the same steep trajectory.
Culp framed the flight as a technology proof point. "We had the first ever high altitude hybrid electric flight crossing the Atlantic to bring that plane here. This is a first of its kind. And as you might imagine, we're terribly excited," he said, describing the SAAB A340 testbed program run in collaboration with Boeing (NYSE:BA), Beta Technologies, and NASA. He was careful to set realistic expectations: "Hybrid electric is a key part of that. So nothing imminent in terms of a product launch. But this is a strong proof point that hybrid electric will be part of that next generation commercial offering."

GE Aerospace saw revenues increase 21% in the quarter, and earnings per share were up 22% year over year. Total engine deliveries were up 31% in the first half of the year, and aftermarket spare parts revenues were up over 30% in the same window. Commercial Engines & Services were up 27% to $9.73 billion, and Defense & Propulsion Technologies were up 16% to $3.44 billion. Free cash flow reached $3.03 billion.
Management lifted full-year 2026 guidance to adjusted EPS of $7.65 to $7.85, operating profit of $10.55 to $10.75 billion, and free cash flow of $8.90 to $9.20 billion.
The demand signal driving those numbers is a backlog Culp put at $210 billion between new engines and aftermarket services. "Customers that we talk to are very keen to see us continue to ramp in partnership with our airframe partners," he said. That ramp is tied directly to Boeing, whose 737 program is running at 42 per month and 787 program at 8 per month, with a Boeing commercial backlog of $695 billion. LEAP engines power the 737 MAX, and GEnx powers the 787.
