11:56 AM EDT, 09/08/2026 (MT Newswires) -- GE Aerospace (GE) agreed to acquire castings manufacturer Consolidated Precision Products in a deal worth $11.75 billion, as the aerospace giant looks to bolster its castings capacity amid a strong demand environment. GE Aerospace plans to finance the deal with $7 billion in cash and the remaining amount with new debt, the company said Tuesday. Ohio-based Consolidated Precision Products, currently owned by private investment firms Warburg Pincus and Berkshire Partners, manufactures engineered castings and sub-assemblies mainly for the commercial aerospace and defense markets. The company has about 6,600 employees and more than 20 facilities. GE Aerospace said it has been a customer of Consolidated Precision Products for over 15 years. "Investing in mission-critical casting capacity is needed to support the strong simultaneous demand across commercial engines, aftermarket and defense," GE Aerospace Chief Executive H. Lawrence Culp Jr. said in a statement. "We expect to expand capacity, improve performance and accelerate new engine technologies for the current fleet and next-generation platforms." Shares of GE Aerospace were up 0.5% in Tuesday trade, taking their year-to-date gain to about 10%. The transaction, which requires regulatory approval, is expected to close in the second half of next year. The aircraft engine supplier expects the acquisition to be accretive to its adjusted earnings on a per-share basis and free cash flow in the first year. In July, the company raised its full-year adjusted EPS outlook on the back of stronger-than-expected second-quarter results amid a 17% annual jump in orders. "As we advance our position as an industry leader in castings, GE Aerospace has expressed strong enthusiasm for supporting our continued growth and expanded vision," Consolidated Precision Products CEO James Stewart said. "Together, we look forward to delivering meaningful value and advancing the success of both organizations." The deal comes days after SpaceX (SPCX) CEO Elon Musk reportedly said the company plans to manufacture turbine blades and vanes to address power constraints tied to AI data-center expansion. In March 2026, GE Aerospace announced plans to invest another $1 billion in its US manufacturing sites and supplier base this year to speed up engine deliveries and ramp up parts production. The company acquired aerospace component maker Northstar Aerospace in 2025. In the broader industry, aircraft parts maker TransDigm (TDG) completed the purchase of Jet Parts Engineering and Victor Sierra Aviation for about $2.2 billion in April 2026. Last year, drone maker AeroVironment (AVAV) closed the acquisition of defense technology company BlueHalo for $4.1 billion. Price: 339.24, Change: +2.12, Percent Change: +0.63

Oil prices are approaching $110 per barrel, with only seven and a half weeks left before the midterm elections, and the probability of the Democratic Party regaining the Senate has surpassed 50%. Political and economic pressures are forcing the White House to seek relief. Meanwhile, the structural appreciation of the yen poses an even deeper global risk—the correction in the U.S.-Japan interest rate differential, large-scale Japanese capital repatriation, and the forced unwinding of carry trades are all likely to simultaneously push up European and American bond yields and awaken the VIX. A cross-asset volatility storm may already be brewing.

Once the Federal Reserve starts the rate hike cycle, is "three consecutive hikes" a reasonable expectation?

BMO expects consecutive rate hikes in October and December, with a total of three increases potentially wiping out all rate cut gains for 2025. Vanguard believes "three consecutive hikes" is a reasonable starting point, but the actual number could be as high as six. There are historical exceptions: in 1997, the Federal Reserve raised rates only once and took no further action for the following 18 months. Meanwhile, trillion-dollar debt financing by AI giants, private credit exposure in the insurance industry, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield approaching 5% are the most dangerous pressure points in this rate hike cycle.

Goldman Sachs Also Changes Its Tune: The Fed Will Raise Interest Rates Next Week!

Goldman Sachs has shifted from predicting a rate hold to betting on a 25 basis point hike next week, stating that this change is not due to particularly bad inflation data—the August CPI was not perfect, but it wasn’t alarming either. The real key is that hawkish comments from Waller have already shaped market expectations: "If the inflation data isn’t perfect, there will be a rate hike." If the Federal Reserve backs down now, its credibility will suffer a serious blow and long-term interest rates could react sharply and immediately.
