GE's acquisition of Consolidated Precision Products for about $11.75 billion prompted a roughly 10% drop in Howmet Aerospace shares amid investor concern GE may rely less on outside suppliers. Howmet CEO John Plant said he remains confident in growth, but the company is being tested by the scale of required capital expansions to meet soaring demand across commercial aviation, defense and data-center turbines. The deal validates strong industry demand for castings but raises a longer-term risk that GE's vertical integration could erode Howmet's market share and margins unless Howmet rapidly increases capacity and retains key customers. » More on finance.yahoo.com

Vineyard Wind sued GE Renewables in Boston court alleging breach of contract and seeking an injunction to stop GE from abandoning turbine supply, commissioning and maintenance work by April 28. GE issued a termination notice citing over $300 million in unpaid bills, while Vineyard Wind says GE owes it more than $800 million for delays and losses from a 2024 blade failure and may therefore withhold payments. Vineyard Wind warns that GE’s exit would likely prevent the 62-turbine, $4.5 billion project from reaching full output, risk lender defaults on $2 billion of loans and leave the wind farm inoperable. GE says it exercised contractual rights for non-payment and will defend its position; a hearing is scheduled April 16 and GE must respond by April 15. » More on finance.yahoo.com
