General ElectricGEDON'T BUYNov 29, 2017Stock price when the opinion was issued
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.
A little concerned about the progress management is going to be able to make as they prune the portfolio trying to right size it. After years of growing by acquisition, focusing on energy and relying on GE Financial, he worries at a stock trading at this price and supposed to generate $1 in earnings. They’ve cut the dividend. There’s a lot of work to be done. It looks like the end markets are struggling. It’s probably going to take several quarters before the turnaround starts to work out. You really want to see organic growth before you get excited. There are better risks/rewards in other industrials.
