As of Oct 14, 2026. Market Open.
GE's split into 3 was designed to create a lot of value for shareholders. All 3 are different sizes and have different growth profiles. Doesn't own any, and none appeal to him.
GEHC is low-multiple, but low growth. Weak growth profile. Likely to be an acquisition target down the road.
The other 2 are in really hot sectors right now, in light of geopolitical tensions. Backlogs and estimates of future growth have gone up dramatically. Valuations are rich.
They split the company into 3 to get out of a troubled period. GE Verona has done very well, for instance, which is tied to data centre building. GE Healthcare has done well, but faces some headwinds. AI could make their equipment more efficient, so that's an opportunity. Would I keep all three companies? Each has its virtues, but Verona is very expensive so he'd pass. Would keep the other two. He likes the aerospace business and Healthcare is well-priced.
They've been hurt by China, but had a decent quarter. He bought the weakest of the three GE companies. He will ultimately make money on this.
