As of Jun 18, 2026. Market Open.
The market lets you change horses halfway through the race, and more people should take advantage of that. A better company today than a year ago. CEO has been excellent. It has aerospace, power, and renewables. A lot of future growth is already built in to the price. He'd sell.
This is a stock he has stayed away from. Prior to 2007, when they owned GE Capital, everybody paid a higher multiple for it because of the earnings and the high return on equity, but a lot of that came from GE Capital. Now they’ve gotten rid of GE Capital, so why would you pay a much higher multiple for a company that has a lot more cyclicality than people think. It is fairly valued at these levels, so it is not going to go up dramatically.
