GE to divest GE Capital assets

G

E is to sell most of its GE Capital assets over the next 24 months and focus on continued investment and growth in its industrial businesses. The company will retain its “vertical” financing businesses – GE Capital Aviation Services, Energy Financial Services and Healthcare Equipment Finance – that directly relate to its core industrial businesses. Under the plan, GE expects that by 2018 more than 90% of its earnings will be generated by its industrial businesses, up from 58% in 2014. “This is a major step in our strategy to focus GE around its competitive advantages,” said GE chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt. “GE today is a premier industrial and technology company with businesses in essential infrastructure industries. These businesses are leaders in technology, the Industrial Internet and advanced manufacturing. They are wellpositioned in growth markets and are delivering superior customer outcomes, while achieving higher margins. They will be paired with a smaller GE Capital, whose businesses are aligned with GE’s industrial growth.”
