Shares of General Electric Co. turned lower on heavy volume Wednesday, erasing earlier sharp gains, as the industrial conglomerate’s earnings and free cash flow beats, and raised full-year outlook, weren’t quite enough to inspire investors.

In aviation, CFO Miller said the grounding of Boeing’s BA, -0.19% 737 Max fleet, for which GE makes engines, has negatively impacted cash flow by about $300 million per quarter in the first half of the year. She said the impact will ramp to $400 million for each quarter that the fleet remains grounded.
