It took 9,150 days, but GE Aerospace stock hit a new all-time high. It's the first record since 2000.
Shares of the jet engine maker traded at $290.50 early Tuesday. GE, which is now GE Aerospace, last hit an intraday high of $289.54 on Aug. 28, 2000, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The record close was the same day at $287.15.
It isn't a record for the company's market value. GE Aerospace's market capitalization is about $310 billion. GE was broken up into three pieces: GE Aerospace, GE Vernova, and GE HealthCare Technologies. The combined market value of the three companies is about $510 billion. The combined GE had a market value of about $600 billion in Aug. 2020.
Still, eclipsing the old high for GE stock is a feat after 25-plus years.
Coming into Tuesday trading, GE Aerospace stock was up about 72% this year, about 84 percentage points ahead of the S&P 500, boosted by increasing demand for commercial jets.
