GE Shares Slump 0.74% as $1.13 Billion Volume Ranks 61st Amid Delayed Aerospace Contracts and Production Bottlenecks

General Electric (GE) closed down 0.74% on Sept. 26 with a trading volume of $1.13 billion, ranking 61st in market activity. The industrial conglomerate's shares faced pressure amid sector-specific developments and operational updates.

Analysts highlighted a decline in investor confidence following reports of delayed contract awards in the aerospace division. A pending $4.2 billion maintenance agreement with a major airline carrier remains under review, raising questions about near-term revenue visibility. Additionally, production bottlenecks at key manufacturing facilities in Texas and Ohio have pushed back scheduled output by 6-8 weeks, according to internal communications shared with employees.

Short-term technical indicators show bearish momentum with the 50-day moving average now crossing below the 200-day level. Institutional selling pressure intensified in late afternoon trading, with large-cap funds offloading approximately 1.2 million shares in the final hour. Market participants are closely monitoring the company's Q3 earnings call scheduled for Oct. 2, which may provide clarity on capital allocation priorities.
