Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

GEA is well positioned to benefit from rising demand for packaged, ready-to-eat food and beverages, spurred on by a growing, more urbanized global population.

Bears

GEA’s turnkey solutions tend to offer less opportunity to capture aftermarket sales relative to their highly engineered equipment offering.
