Pratt & Whitney Ramps Engine Production as Airbus Guns for 2025 Targets
Pratt & Whitney is turbocharging engine deliveries—just as Airbus leans hard on suppliers to hit its 2025 aircraft output goals. The aerospace giant's supply chain crunch just got a shot of afterburner fuel.
Behind the scenes: This isn't altruism. It's survival. With airlines screaming for new jets and lessors circling like vultures, every delayed engine means millions in lost revenue. Pratt's move? A calculated play to avoid becoming the scapegoat when delivery timelines inevitably slip.
The cynical take: Watch the champagne flow when these targets are 'adjusted' next quarter—Wall Street's already pricing in the 'operational challenges' premium.

A reverse split applies the same principle in the opposite direction. The share count is reduced, the price per share increases proportionally, and the market value stays the same. This step is typically taken to remain compliant with exchange standards and maintain a stable presence in public markets.
Whether splitting or consolidating, these steps reveal something about a company’s intentions – from widening its audience to protecting its listing – and savvy traders often treat them as clues to the broader story.
Let’s take a look at the upcoming stock splits for the week.
