General Electric (NYSE:GE) Combines Minervini Trend Template with High Growth Momentum

General Electric Aerospace (NYSE:GE) has recently appeared through a specialized screening method that joins Mark Minervini's strict Trend Template with a High Growth Momentum (HGM) rating. This two-part method seeks to find companies that are in strong technical uptrends and also have the fundamental speed-up in earnings and sales that usually supports continued, high-level growth. The method highlights that real market front-runners show both solid price momentum and basic business health, creating good conditions for major capital gains.

Meeting the Minervini Trend Template

The main part of the Minervini method is its Trend Template, a group of technical rules made to find stocks in a confirmed and strong Stage 2 uptrend. A look at General Electric's chart shows it meets these strict conditions, which are important for making sure a stock is trading with the main market direction and not against it.

• Price Above Key Moving Averages: The stock's current price of $306.39 trades well above its rising 50-day ($288.27), 150-day ($250.93), and 200-day ($237.46) simple moving averages. This order confirms health across short, medium, and long-term periods.
• Positive Moving Average Alignment: The 50-day moving average is placed above both the 150-day and 200-day averages, and the 150-day also trades above the 200-day. This ordered, positive setup points to a well-set and speeding up upward trend.
• Proximity to Highs: The stock is trading within 3.2% of its 52-week high of $316.53, a main Minervini rule that indicates strong momentum and no major overhead supply. At the same time, it sits 92% above its 52-week low, showing a strong recovery trend.
• Superior Relative Strength: With a ChartMill Relative Strength rating of 90.72, GE is doing better than over 90% of all stocks in the market. This is a sign of market leadership, a trait Minervini often notes as needed for top performance.

Fundamentals Driving High Growth Momentum

While the Trend Template finds the "when," the High Growth Momentum rating helps find the "why" by concentrating on the fundamental speed-up that brings institutional buying. GE's financial numbers show a company in the middle of a major earnings and operational growth, fitting well with this growth-centered idea.

• Explosive Earnings Growth: The company has shown notable earnings power, with EPS (TTM) growing 46% year-over-year. Quarterly growth is even more clear, with the last quarter showing a 44% increase compared to the same time last year. This type of speed-up is a main driver that Minervini says "attracts big attention."
• Consistent Earnings Surprises: GE has beaten EPS estimates in all of the last four quarters, with an average surprise of 15.1%. This steady over-performance often makes analysts raise their future estimates, creating a positive cycle of rising expectations. In fact, the average EPS estimate for next year has been raised by 6% over the last three months.
• Strong Revenue and Profitability: The top line is also growing in a healthy way, with TTM revenue up 17.7% and last quarter's sales jumping 26.4% year-over-year. The company keeps up solid profit margins, with the last quarter at 17.7%, showing pricing ability and operational effectiveness.

Technical Health and Setup Assessment

Beyond the basic Trend Template, GE shows excellent overall technical health. It has received a perfect ChartMill Technical Rating of 10, showing its strong trends across many time periods and better relative performance. The long-term trend is positive, matching the wider S&P 500, and the stock is trading with good liquidity, averaging over 4 million shares per day.

The stock also shows a reasonable setup pattern, with a Setup Quality rating of 5. Prices have been moving in a range between about $290 and $317 over the past month, which can help form a new base for a possible next move up. A recent "Pocket Pivot" signal—where the price went up on volume higher than the largest down volume day in the previous ten sessions—points to quiet accumulation, a good sign for future momentum.

Conclusion

General Electric Aerospace presents a strong case for investors following a high-growth, momentum-based method. It successfully meets the strict technical filters of the Minervini Trend Template, confirming its place in a strong uptrend with better relative strength. Fundamentally, the company is supporting this price action with sped-up earnings growth, steady positive surprises, and strong revenue growth, meeting the criteria looked for by high-growth investors. The mix of technical leadership and fundamental speed-up makes GE a stock worth more study for those looking for exposure to high-opportunity market front-runners.
