GE Aerospace is trading 6.7% down at $312.47 in after-hours trading after announcing a September 8, 2026 agreement to acquire Consolidated Precision Products for $11.75 billion.

• Purchase uses $7 billion cash and approximately $4.75 billion in new debt, amid potential valuation/leverage concern despite expected first-year adjusted EPS and free-cash-flow accretion.

• Risk-off conditions may pressure the Dow, down 1.13%.
