General Electric

General Electric (GE) is one of the largest and oldest industrial companies in the United States, founded in 1892. Its headquarters is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The company trades on the NYSE under the ticker GE. Between 2023 and 2024, GE completed a planned split into three separate publicly traded companies: GE Aerospace (jet engines and aviation systems), GE Vernova (energy — gas turbines, wind turbines, and electrical grid solutions), and GE HealthCare (medical imaging and diagnostic equipment), which was spun off to public markets in 2023. The entity currently trading under the GE ticker is GE Aerospace.

GE Aerospace manufactures jet engines for commercial and military aviation, including the LEAP and GE9X engine families, partly through CFM International — a joint venture with France's Safran. GE Vernova produces gas turbines, wind turbines, and power grid infrastructure. GE HealthCare supplies medical imaging equipment including MRI, CT, and ultrasound systems.

GE Aerospace's direct competitors include Rolls-Royce and Pratt & Whitney (a division of RTX). GE Vernova competes with Siemens Energy and Vestas in the turbine space. GE HealthCare competes with Siemens Healthineers and Philips Healthcare.
