On 25 July 2023, General Electric released its quarter 2 earnings which crushed the consensus estimate and the stock price surged 6.27% in the last trading session. The company has also lifted its full-year guidance due to solid demand from its aerospace business and record orders in its renewal energy division.
GE has also lifted its free cash flow estimates to a range of $4.1 Billion to $4.6 Billion from its previous estimate of $3.6 Billion to $4.2 Billion. The manufacturer also cited the rising demand for jet engines and wind energy turbines.
Analyst estimates by FactSet, an American financial data company, state that GE is on the journey of generating $61 Billion in revenue this year. The company also said that it would buy back all the outstanding preferred shares for about $2.8 Billion on September 15 2023 to simplify the company’s balance sheet.
Since Larry Culp, current CEO of General Electric, took over the industrial conglomerate, the stock price has been up by 65% and is charging toward six-year highs.
If the bullish momentum prevails, the next candle can shatter the high of the last candle. The price might head toward the next resistance level of $124 causing a rise of roughly 5.11%.
Will GE Stock Price Retrace Before Making a Bullish Move?
