Up 10% In A Month, Will General Electric Stock See More Gains?

General Electric stock (NYSE: GE) has seen a rise of 10% in a month, while it’s down 5% in the last twelve months, outperforming the broader S&P500, down 1% and 17%, respectively. The recent rise can be attributed to positive investor sentiment around the spinoff of GE Healthcare earlier this month. GE Healthcare is now listed on NASDAQ (GEHC), and GE owns close to a 20% stake in the healthcare arm. GE has released preliminary Q4 results for its healthcare business today, with sales rising 7% y-o-y to $4.9 billion and 2023 revenue growth projected to be between 5 and 7%. GE will split off its energy business next year, unlocking more shareholder value.
