“Sells Honeywell Aerospace We sold the position in Honeywell Aerospace to consolidate our aerospace investment in GE Aerospace.”
GE Aerospace - September 2026
“Industrials was the main area of weakness, led by Rentokil, GE Aerospace and Siemens Energy. The latter two were weaker as the market questioned how much of today’s unusually strong demand environment is already reflected in expectations, despite continued evidence of strong underlying fundamentals.”
GE Aerospace - September 2026
“Two of our holdings declined more than 15% during the third quarter – Carrier Global Corp. (CARR) and GE Aerospace (GE). Carrier Global’s quarterly earnings results were mixed, with strong order growth especially within the commercial HVAC segment, offset in part by operating margin pressure driven by unfavorable mix, higher input costs, and tariff timing. We added to our position during the quarter, as the stock’s valuation is depressed, approaching multi-year lows, at a time when we see several avenues for earnings growth to accelerate in the coming years, particularly within the residential HVAC business. GE Aerospace experienced multiple contraction during the third quarter, despite strong results and a broad-based and meaningful upgrade to 2026 guidance.”
GE Aerospace - September 2026
“GE Aerospace fell 16.3% despite growing adjusted earnings per share 22% and raising its full-year earnings and free-cash-flow guidance.”

“Our largest position decreases in the quarter were GE Vernova Inc. (4.4%) and GE Aerospace (3.0%).”
GE Aerospace - June 2026
“While technology remained an important contributor, returns were generated across multiple sectors and investment themes. Taiwan Semiconductor, Applied Materials, Analog Devices, NVIDIA, Astera Labs and Seagate contributed meaningfully as part of our Compute Infrastructure theme. Rolls-Royce and GE Aerospace continued to benefit from favorable aerospace fundamentals, Caterpillar participated in the ongoing expansion of domestic industrial investment, and Goldman Sachs generated strong returns as improving capital markets activity and expectations for regulatory reform supported financials.”

GE Aerospace - New positionPolen Capital Global GrowthJune 2026
“Portfolio Activity In Q2 2026, we initiated new positions in GE Aerospace, GE Vernova, Howmet Aerospace, Hermès International, Keyence, and Rheinmetall while selling our holdings in Boston Scientific, Siemens Healthineers, and Zoetis. During the period we also added to our positions in ASML and Idexx Labs and trimmed our positions in Starbucks, Oracle, Shopify, Aon and Broadcom. The net goal of this activity was to redeploy capital away from businesses where we feel growth has either slowed or may become more difficult to sustain in the near term, and into businesses where we see strong competitive advantages, attractive long-term growth prospects, and stronger current business momentum. We initiated a new position in GE Aerospace, which we view as one of the highest-quality industrial businesses in the world.”
GE Aerospace - March 2026
“We added to our holdings in Broadcom (AVGO), GE Aerospace (GE), Netflix (NFLX) and NVIDIA (NVDA) and trimmed Intuit (INTU), Linde (LIN) and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM).”
GE Aerospace - March 2026
“When Everything Becomes AI As flows into the AI complex decelerated—or reversed in some cases—share price movements and valuations increasingly reflected AI narratives well beyond the obvious beneficiaries. When the market determines that a company stands to benefit from AI, capital follows quickly. Two holdings in our portfolio that benefited from this dynamic in the first quarter were Walmart and General Electric.”
GE Aerospace - March 2026
“Some other stocks that have had a rough ride include Yeti (-15%), and recently General Electric and the banking industry. We have reduced our exposure to these positions and others that have shown weakness.”
GE Aerospace - September 2025
“ Industrials rose in the quarter. We added to Carrier Global (CARR) on price weakness and trimmed the holding when the price recovered. We also trimmed Ferguson Enterprises (FERG) and GE Aerospace (GE).”

“GE Aerospace illustrates this distinction.”
GE Aerospace - September 2026
“From Capital Efficiency to Capital Productivity This does not mean capital-intensive businesses are inherently superior. The relevant distinction is not asset-light versus asset-heavy. It is low-return capital versus high-return capital. For much of the last two decades, companies often improved returns by reducing the invested capital, the denominator in the ROIC equation: outsource the factory, sell the building, reduce inventory, franchise the hotel or move infrastructure to the cloud. Another path to higher returns is increasing the earnings generated by an existing asset base without a proportionate increase in invested capital. When productive capacity is scarce, utilization can rise, pricing can improve and volume can flow through an existing asset base at high incremental margins. That is capital productivity rather than simply capital efficiency. GE Aerospace illustrates this distinction.”

“a potential threat from GE/Safran looks minimal, guidance is reaffirmed, and optionality is expanding through SCI II and FTAI Power, meaning the position has materially de-risked from our original entry.”
