On September 9, GE Aerospace fell 3.01% in regular trading, trading at $325.17/share, with turnover of $133 million. The decline came as the market digested the company's announcement of a $11.75 billion acquisition of precision casting manufacturer Consolidated Precision Products (CPP).

GE Aerospace announced on September 8 that it had signed an agreement to acquire CPP from private equity firms Warburg Pincus and Berkshire Partners. The deal will be financed with $7 billion in cash and approximately $4.75 billion in new debt, with closing expected in the second half of 2027 pending regulatory approval. CPP is one of the world's top four jet engine blade and vane manufacturers, operating over 20 facilities globally with approximately 6,600 employees, and is projected to generate around $2 billion in revenue by 2027. The company supplies blades and castings for GE's core engine programs including LEAP and GEnx.

GE Aerospace stated the transaction is anticipated to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share and free cash flow in the first full year after closing, and will not alter the company's existing capital allocation plans. The acquisition is viewed as a strategic vertical integration move to internalize critical supply chain capabilities amid persistent aerospace supply chain constraints.
