General Electric Completes Historic Split into Three Companies

The demerger aims to sharpen focus on core businesses, potentially boosting growth and shareholder value.

General Electric has completed its demerger into three independent companies: GE Aerospace, GE Vernova, and GE Healthcare.
The split aims to allow each entity to focus on its core businesses, potentially enhancing long-term growth and shareholder value.
GE Aerospace and GE Vernova have outperformed the Dow Jones Industrial Average, with shares doing better than most American spin-offs.
The breakup follows a history of acquisitions and losses, with recent efforts significantly reducing GE's debt by about $100 billion.
The future success of the new entities may face challenges from cyclical industries and political changes, but reorganization itself is not seen as a current obstacle.
