General Electric shares jumped more than 8% in premarket trading.
GE today announced its plan to form three industry-leading, global public companies focused on the growth sectors of aviation, healthcare, and energy, by:
- Pursuing a tax-free spin-off of GE Healthcare, creating a pure-play company at the center of precision health in early 2023, in which GE expects to retain a stake of 19.9 percent; and
- Combining GE Renewable Energy, GE Power, and GE Digital into one business, positioned to lead the energy transition, and then pursuing a tax-free spin-off of this business in early 2024.
- Following these transactions, GE will be an aviation-focused company shaping the future of flight.
