What the company does
GE Aerospace is the world's largest jet-engine maker (CFM LEAP, GEnx, GE9X — commercial aviation, about 75% of revenue) plus military engines (F-15/F-16, helicopters). Its money comes from engine sales and multi-year servicing (the military share is checked by the screener).
What was checked
The AAOIFI standard has four steps: business activity first, then three financial ratios. Fail one and the stock is not halal.

Figures from the company's filings (2026-06-30), USD. Market cap is a 36-month average (the S&P Shariah index approach), so a one-day price move does not flip the verdict. Today's market cap: $321.33B.
For information (AAOIFI 3/1 note): cash + receivables are 19.2% of total assets (2026-06-30). AAOIFI recommends tangible assets of at least one third — this figure does not affect the verdict, and other major screeners do not apply it either.
