pool adsThe General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) Is a Long Way Past Its Glory Days
Recent media reports reveled that the former CEO of the General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) Jeff Immelt did not like hearing bad news. According to company insiders, Mr. Immelt always preferred to stay optimistic and talk about opportunities and was reluctant to deliver bad news.
Mr. Immelt’s attitude created a culture that shunned transparency at the massive conglomerate, which was a major reason why the company’s board of directors was largely unaware of the many problems facing the company. The appointment of John Flannery as CEO of the company last year was a decision that was made by the board without them being fully aware of the problems facing the company.

Many analysts have raised questions as to whether Mr. Flannery can implement the radical changes needed at the company in order to transform its corporate culture given that he worked under Mr. Immelt. At Stock Traders Daily, we focus on trading stocks based on their daily price movements using risk-controlled strategies that help our subscribers profit handsomely, while at the same time limiting their risk exposure.
Our combined analysis of the company indicates that its stock price has been on a downtrend since December 2016 and is at lows last witnessed in Q4 2011. The company’s poor run is likely to persist this year given that it currently undergoing a massive restructuring and divestiture process in efforts to return to profitability.
The conglomerate’s quarterly growth metric has been declining since it peaked in Q2 2016 and this trend is unlikely to change given the downward revision of base segment performance in 2017. The annual growth figures have also been declining in line with quarterly revenue and this trend is expected to continue in calendar 2018 despite the company’s management maintaining the forward guidance for this year.
In order for GE to transform, it requires a leader with a different approach to Mr. Immelt’s perpetual optimism, yet it is not clear if Mr. Flannery is the right individual to drive cultural change at GE.
