7 Blue-Chip Busts That Could Use a Spark: General Electric (GE)

Yes, General Electric (GE) is rebuilding mode. But that isn’t necessarily a good thing, yet.

Turning around a $277 billion company that has been wallowing for a decade or more is not an overnight process.

Yes, it’s cutting off its now-vestigial appendage GE Capital. Once it was a great engine of growth but has now turned into an engine of destruction.

The government was about to consider GE Capital “systemically important,” which would put it under much stricter financial regulatory rules.

It was the final straw — GE decided to jettison the unit and get back to its knitting. It’s been doing a good job of selling its financial assets and unloading other extraneous properties. And it will like plow a lot of that money into massive share buybacks and dividend increases to make investors happy again.

But after those anticipated feel-good moves, there’s a real question about where GE goes from there, especially if global growth remains anemic.

That’s why this one is best left alone until it figures out what it wants to be in the next quarter century.

Mega-Cap Stocks to Buy: General Electric (GE)

First up, we have household name General Electric (GE) — a diversified company that has been around since 1892 and operates in 175 countries. And upcoming moves make it one of the best stocks to buy right now.

Don’t be fooled by the slated 20% drop in earnings on tap for this year. So far this year, shares of GE stock have notched year-to-date gains of just over 8%. General Electric has been hard at work shedding assets of late — moves that analysts are applauding left and right.

Selling GE Capital, for instance, is a long-term investment for the broader company … and one that’s setting the company up for a nice 20% increase to next year’s EPS as well.

Expect investors to keep being bullish on GE as a result … and the company’s 3.5% dividend yield won’t hurt.

Sure, companies usually shell out such a yield when growth isn’t in the cards, but remember the positive one-two punch of high-yield picks.

You’ll be able to tack that payout onto your returns, and it lures in lots of other investors craving a constant payout — and they, in turn, can bid GE stock higher as well.

Stocks to Buy: General Electric (GE)

Last but not least, General Electric (GE) may be big, boring, and predictable, but it’s also got a lot more going for it now than it did just a few months ago.

Namely, GE has waded waist-deep into its effort to streamline its operations by shedding distracting divisions, with most of those planned divestitures coming from its finance arm.

All told, General Electric says it’s looking to sell $275 billion worth of GE Capital and its separate divisions.

The bigger and better reason General Electric has earned a spot on a list of stocks to buy because of impending fireworks, however, is that it’s buying back up to $50 billion worth of GE shares. That’s the world’s second-biggest-ever share repurchase program, and will likely have a more direct impact on the price of GE shares than the cash-boost created by multiple divestitures will.

And to be clear, this stock buyback is just getting started. General Electric only announced it in April, so any the benefit of the repurchase has yet to be priced into the stock’s value.

Iconic Large Caps to Sell: General Electric (GE)

7 Iconic Large Caps to Sell as the Markets Decline Deepens

As General Electric (GE) goes, so goes the overall market as the diversified industrial giant represents a broad cross-section of the U.S. economy.

And after peaking in April, shares of this blue chip have been on the slide, threatening to fall below their 200-day moving average.

The Aug $27 GE puts I recommended to Edge Pro subscribers on July 21 are up 165%.

In what you’ll see is a familiar theme among these struggling large caps, General Electric reported weaker-than-expected earnings on July 17.

Top Stocks to Buy Now No. 1: General Electric Co. (NYSE GE)

General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) shares are trading near $24.70 and are down roughly 15% from April highs.

According to Money Morning Executive Editor Bill Patalon, this is an excellent opportunity for picking up shares in GE. One of the biggest reasons he recommends GE shares is the diversification of its products.

"GE is in several growth segments: Aircraft engines, medical-imaging equipment, power generation, water treatment and, as a great special 'kicker' – the 'Internet of Everything' (IoE)," Patalon said.

"Demand in each of those sectors is only going to grow, so GE can take comfort in knowing there will be plenty of demand for its wares long term."

Another bullish sign for GE stock is insider buying. According to Patalon, that is the "single-biggest indicator that a stock is going to move higher."

In 2014, CEO Jeffrey Immelt bought an additional 40,000 shares of GE. That brought his total investment to more than $47 million worth of GE stock. And he wasn't the only one. Two other independent GE directors also scooped up 14,000 shares combined that year.

Corporate insiders sell their company's shares for many reasons, he explained, but buy for only one: "They see a chance to make money on their own stock."

Another key draw is GE's 3.7% dividend yield and commitment to increasing payouts.
