That’s great news for bullish investors. But with higher prices come higher expectations, which means the company’s annual outlook meeting Wednesday will be a big deal.\nGeneral Electric (ticker: GE) shares are up more than 30% year to date, far better than comparable gains of the S&P 500. Investors are feeling better about GE’s aviation business because of Covid-19 vaccines. The global economy is improving, too.\nEvenhigher interest rates are helping GE stock these days. GE has a large employee pension obligation, and higher rates means it can earn more money on pension assets. More earnings from the money already set aside to pay benefits means less cash will need to be added in the future.\nThose topics, and more, will be discussed at the meeting. Here’s what to watch for when management talks about the year ahead:\nWhen GE hosted its last outlook meetinga little more than a year ago, management expected toearn about 55 centsa share in 2020. That was before Covid-19.\nBut the pandemic’s impact was difficult to predict. GE’s early estimate was that Covid might hurtcash flow bya few hundred million dollars. It turned out far worse than anyone imagined.\nCovid-19 ended up decimating demand for commercial air travel. GE’s largest business is tied to jet engine manufacturing so the pandemic hit the company harder than most. GEeked outa 1 cent per-share profit. More important, GE managed to generate positive free cash flow of about $600 million for the full year.\nIn 2021, GE believesit can generateabout 20 cents in per-share earnings and about $3.5 billion in free cash flow from its industrial businesses. That guidance was given when the company reported fourth-quarter results.\nOn Wednesday, analysts will check out just how conservative that guidance is. A key question that they’ll want answered: How much improvement in commercial air travel is driving GE’s numbers? Things are getting better, but slowly. Flightsare still off about 50% from this time last year, but they were down 65% only a couple of months ago.\nIn 2020, GE’s balance sheet andthe pending sale of its healthcare business, Biopharma,toDanaher(DHR) was significant. This year, analysts will ask management about another deal—onethat would combine GE’s jet-leasing businesswithAerCap(AER). That agreement could dramatically shrink the size of GE Capital and provide the company with another source of cash. So far, GE has declined to comment on deal status or structure.\nThe healthcare deal helped GE reduce debt. AnAerCapdeal would simplify the company’s balance sheet more. That’s important for both investors and analysts. “The subtext of the event will be that the GE story is simplifying as balance sheet and contingent liability risks diminish,” wrote Wolfe Research analystNigel Coein a report previewing GE’s outlook event. GE Capital still has some issues, such as poorly performinglong term-care insurancecontracts. Coe wants to see GE Capital fund the problems instead of taking cash flow from the industrial businesses.\nCoe rates shares Buy and has a $14 price target. RBC analystDeane Drayalso rates shares Buy. His price target is $13 a share. He expects more granular guidance by business segment as well as cash flow generation throughout the year.\nGE generates most of its cash flow in the second half of the year. The company sells a lot of expensive equipment. Businesses like to take delivery late in the year. That way they preserve cash as long as possible and still earn a tax deduction. “For tax purposes….all equipment placed in service during the taxable year is treated as placed in service at the midpoint of the year,” accounting expert Robert Willens tellsBarron’s.\nIn one key segment, GE’s renewable energy business, Barclays analyst Julian Mitchell is looking for management to lay out the path to consistent profitability. “The three main pieces inside Renewables have very different operating margin rates,” explains Mitchell. Onshore wind is higher margin in North America than overseas. One challenge for GE is to improve international profit margins. Offshore wind is lower margin, but higher growth. Mitchell wants to hear about new orders. Mitchell, like Dray and Coe, rates GE shares Buy. His target is $13 a share.\nOverall, the Street like GE stock. About 65% of analysts covering the company rate shares Buy. TheaverageBuy-rating ratio for stocks in theDow Jones Industrial Averageis about 60%. With GE stock on the move, shares have raced past analyst price targets. The average analystprice targetis about $13.\nOptions marketsimply GE stock will move about 5% to 7% after the event. That makes the outlook call like an earnings report. GE stock has moved about 6%, up or down, on average the past six times the company reported earnings.\nThe event begins at 8 a.m.EST and is expected to run a couple of hours.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":323431144,"gmtCreate":1615366038488,"gmtModify":1703487922295,"author":{"id":"3575154253401290","authorId":"3575154253401290","name":"Zwei90","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/46b93e6126505a4da6890aa36b96d1a1","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"3575154253401290","idStr":"3575154253401290"},"htmlText":"To buy or not to buy","listText":"To buy or not to buy","text":"To buy or not to buy","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/323431144","repostId":1180898455,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1180898455","pubTimestamp":1615363920,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1180898455?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-10 16:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GE Stock Is Hot.

GE’s largest business is tied to jet engine manufacturing so the pandemic hit the company harder than most. GEeked outa 1 cent per-share profit. More important, GE managed to generate positive free cash flow of about $600 million for the full year.</p>\n<p>In 2021, GE believesit can generateabout 20 cents in per-share earnings and about $3.5 billion in free cash flow from its industrial businesses. That guidance was given when the company reported fourth-quarter results.</p>\n<p>On Wednesday, analysts will check out just how conservative that guidance is. A key question that they’ll want answered: How much improvement in commercial air travel is driving GE’s numbers? Things are getting better, but slowly. Flightsare still off about 50% from this time last year, but they were down 65% only a couple of months ago.</p>\n<p>In 2020, GE’s balance sheet andthe pending sale of its healthcare business, Biopharma,toDanaher(DHR) was significant. This year, analysts will ask management about another deal—onethat would combine GE’s jet-leasing businesswithAerCap(AER). That agreement could dramatically shrink the size of GE Capital and provide the company with another source of cash. So far, GE has declined to comment on deal status or structure.</p>\n<p>The healthcare deal helped GE reduce debt. AnAerCapdeal would simplify the company’s balance sheet more. That’s important for both investors and analysts. “The subtext of the event will be that the&nbsp;GE&nbsp;story is simplifying as balance sheet and contingent liability risks diminish,” wrote Wolfe Research analystNigel Coein a report previewing GE’s outlook event.
