GE Aerospace Rises 1.20% to 73rd in Trading Volume Amid HealthCare's Strong Q2 Revenue Growth and Revised Guidance

General Electric’s GE Aerospace (GE) rose 1.20% on July 30, with a trading volume of $1.28 billion, ranking 73rd in market activity. The stock’s performance coincided with GE HealthCare’s second-quarter 2025 financial report, which highlighted a 3% year-over-year revenue increase to $5.0 billion, driven by strong demand in imaging and pharmaceutical diagnostics segments. Organic revenue growth stood at 2%, with adjusted EBIT margin at 14.6%, down 80 basis points due to tariff pressures. The company raised full-year guidance, projecting organic revenue growth of approximately 3% and adjusted EPS of $4.43–$4.63, reflecting improved operational efficiency and tariff mitigation efforts.

GE HealthCare’s segment results underscored mixed performance. The Pharmaceutical Diagnostics division saw 14% year-over-year revenue growth, while Imaging and Patient Care Solutions reported modest gains. Adjusted net income rose to $486 million, and free cash flow improved to $7 million, reversing a prior-year deficit. Management emphasized progress in AI-enabled medical devices, including FDA approvals for advanced imaging agents and AI-powered diagnostic tools. Strategic collaborations, such as a partnership with Ascension to enhance healthcare technology, were cited as growth drivers amid evolving market dynamics.
