Best Stocks to Buy: General Electric (GE)

Dividend Yield: 3.2%
Long-Term Growth: 12.1%

GE is a leading American industrial conglomerate that has clearly stood the test of time. It was an original Dow component over a century ago, and it will likely still be around a century from now.

Though for a while, that might have been a dubious statement. Back in 2008, during the pits of the financial crisis, GE had to go to Warren Buffett begging for money. GE’s financial arm, like virtually every bank out there, had gotten in over its head. And GE Capital had grown to the point that GE looked more like a mammoth hedge fund than an engineering company.

Thankfully, that has changed. GE has spent the better part of the past decade winding down its financial operations, and GE was recently removed from the list of “systematically important financial institutions.”

It took time, but GE finally looks like a real industrial company again, and a leading producer of everything from aircraft engines to medical devices.

GE isn’t exceptionally cheap right now (few stocks are in this market), but if you’re looking at a holding period of forever, then buying at today’s prices isn’t unreasonable. GE sports a respectable 3.2% dividend.

Why General Electric Company (GE) Stock Is STILL a Powerhouse

GE stock has exposure in nearly every sector, including oil and gas

By Chris Lau

General Electric’s Earnings Outlook

The 2017 earnings-per-share forecast of $1.60 to $1.70 a share may prove too low an estimate for GE stock.

In the meantime, management is continuing with its plans on returning between $19 billion to $21 billion to shareholders this year.

This Stock is a Solid Buy

by James Brumley

Last year’s $123 billion in revenue isn’t considerably better than 2014’s top line of $117 billion.

Net income of $8.1 billion for last year is miles away from 2014’s profit tally of $15.2 billion.

The $31 Billion Hole in GE’s Balance Sheet That Keeps Growing

by Katherine Chiglinsky , Brandon Kochkodin , and Rick Clough

Pension shortfall is the biggest among S&P 500 companies
Top brass ‘living in fear’ of activists with short-term goals

At $31 billion, GE’s pension shortfall is the biggest among S&P 500 companies and 50 percent greater than any other corporation in the U.S.

It’s a deficit that has swelled in recent years as Immelt spent more than $45 billion on share buybacks to win over Wall Street and pacify activists like Nelson Peltz.


Needs to pay close to $50 billion in pension obligations that come due in the next decade.

GE CFO: The dividend cut is about improving total shareholder return

by Nicole Sinclair

The dividend cut to $0.12 per share from $0.24 aligns the company’s payout with its less robust free cash flow, which is expected to be $6 to $7 billion next year versus initial expectations for $12 to $14 billion.


GE sees EPS of $1.00 to $1.07 per share versus the long-held $2.00 target for 2018.


Narrowed focus to three business units — Aviation, Healthcare Equipment and Power —which account for about 60% of the company’s revenue.


It will divest $20 billion of assets over the next one to two years. (The company will be shedding its locomotives and lighting business either via sales or spin-offs, and is also looking at shedding its majority stake in Baker Hughes.)

General Electric: Barely Worth $11/Share

by Keith Fitz-Gerald

GE’s breakup value is only $11 a share.

The reduced dividend will still cost the company ~$4 billion a year at a time when actual free cash flow is approaching zero if you factor in capital expenditures and pension expenses.

2018 Tech Dog No 1: GE

If there were an award for Tech Turkeys of 2017, General Electric Corp. (NYSE: GE) would definitely make the list of finalists – and it deserves to win.

Through Dec. 4, the Nasdaq Composite had gained an amazing 23.3% -while GE managed to notch a 43.4% decline.

All that seemed to be changing in early November as Wall Street awaited word from new CEO John Flannery on his comeback plan for the global tech-industrial giant.

But after Flannery laid out his plan on Nov. 14, even longtime bulls hoping for a true turnaround were disappointed. RBC Capital Markets analyst Deane Dray was especially outspoken.

Dray said Flannery offered “very little new or bold ideas,” adding that there were “no meaningful changes to the business model or quality of earnings.”

The analyst cut his price target from $25 to $20 and noted that the turnaround underway will take much longer than previously thought because of deep “structural problems.”

Flannery later told CNBC that he can fix the problems. That will mean selling several units. But the bad news for investors was stunning – GE is also cutting its dividend by 50% to improve its lousy cash flow.

Ouch.

General Electric Company (NYSE:GE) is a stock that Wall Street has seemingly left for dead after suffering more than a 43% decline from its summer 2016 highs.

This on frustration with the company’s direction, lack of confidence in its new management, and an underwhelming corporate restructuring plan that didn’t do enough, apparently, to trim weak performing areas like transportation.

A possible relief rally could be underway now, however, with shares pushing up and off of a three-month consolidation range near $17.50.

The company will next report results on Jan. 24 before the bell. Analysts are looking for earnings of 30 cents per share on revenues of $33.6 billion.

When the company last reported on Oct. 20, earnings of 29 cents missed estimates by 20 cents on an 11.5% rise in revenues.
