GE Aerospace (GE) 10-K Red Flags

Risk signals extracted deterministically from GE Aerospace’s SEC 10-K/10-Q XBRL filings — no LLM, every finding cites the underlying data.

Detected red flags (15)

  • Earnings-cash flow divergence: Net income grew +2722.0% while operating cash flow declined -12.3%. This divergence may indicate accrual-based earnings inflation — non-cash gains, aggressive revenue recognition, or working capital absorption. The accrual ratio (NI − OCF) is deteriorating.
  • Gross margin compression: Gross margin contracted +2.5%pp (from 18.1% to 15.6%). This may reflect input cost inflation, pricing pressure, or product mix shift toward lower-margin segments.
  • NEW: Going concern doubt in latest filing: The term "going concern" appears in recent 10-K/10-Q filings but was NOT present in the prior 24-month period. This is a new risk disclosure that warrants attention. Found in 5 filing(s).
  • Material weakness in internal controls: The term "material weakness" appears in 35 recent filing(s) (vs 2 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
  • Restatement of financial statements: The term "restate" "financial statements" appears in 7 recent filing(s) (vs 1 in the prior period). This risk language is ongoing.
  • Endogenous analysis: "Material weakness in internal controls" combined with earnings-cash flow divergence is especially concerning — it suggests the reported earnings may not be reliable due to control deficiencies, and the cash flow shortfall may be masking underlying issues.
  • 20 disclosure(s) dropped from prior year — reduced reporting granularity.
  • 1 new risk-language term(s) detected in filing text: Going concern doubt.
  • Ongoing high-severity risk language: Material weakness in internal controls, Restatement of financial statements.
