General Electric shares gained in morning trading Tuesday after the conglomerate announced a much-needed rebound strategy. GE, which has lost more than 50% of its value in the past year, now plans to spin off its health-care business and separate its stake in Baker Hughes (NYSE:GE) over the next few years.
The plan also includes goals to reduce GE’s debt load and generate new corporate cost savings. Overall, General Electric will shift its focus to core businesses like aviation, power, and renewable energy.
On the first half of today’s show, Ryan reviews this plan before diving into GE’s balance sheet, earnings outlook, and recent share price performance.
Later, Ryan is joined by Zacks Strategist Dave Bartosiak to discuss the latest earnings results from homebuilding giant Lennar (NYSE:LEN) , which crushed estimates this morning. Pivoting from this conversation, the pair discuss the overall state of the U.S. housing market.
