Our Current Assesment Of GEV Stock
Risk: A good way to gauge risk is by checking how much GEV has fallen during major market downturns. It plunged 55% in the Dot-Com crash, 62% during the 2008 financial crisis, and 48% in the 2022 inflation sell-off. Even smaller shocks like 2018 and the Covid crash caused dips north of 20%. This shows that no matter the positives, GEV can still take a serious hit when the broader market sells off.
GEV stock may have seen strong gains recently, but investing in a single stock without detailed, thorough analysis can be risky. The Trefis High Quality (HQ) Portfolio, with a collection of 30 stocks, has a track record of comfortably outperforming its benchmark that includes all 3 — the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000 indices. Why is that? As a group, HQ Portfolio stocks provided better returns with less risk versus the benchmark index; less of a roller-coaster ride, as evident in HQ Portfolio performance metrics.
