Intro:
General Electric (GE) is an American multinational conglomerate corporation incorporated in New York and headquartered in Fairfield, Connecticut. GE was founded in Schenectady, New York (1892). In 1896, General Electric was one of the original 12 companies listed on the newly formed Dow Jones Industrial Average. After 118 years, it is the only one of the original companies still listed on the Dow index, although it has not been on the index continuously. The company operates through the following segments: Energy, Technology Infrastructure, Capital Finance as well as Consumer and Industrial. In 2011, GE ranked among the Fortune 500 companies as the 26th-largest firm in the U.S. by gross revenue, as well as the 14th most profitable. General Electric CEO is Jeffrey R. Immelt. General Electric went public in 1892 on the New York Stock Exchange. GE is a Dow Jones and S&P 500 component.
The companys commitment to technology solutions that save money and reduce environmental impact for its customers and GEs own operations has generated more than US$160 billion in revenue. GEs own operations have seen a 32 percent reduction in GHG emissions since 2004 and a 45 percent reduction in freshwater use since 2006, realizing $300 million in savings. In this paper, we are going to apply some theories such as rate of return, risk of our stock (Beta), CAPM, KWACC, and dividend effect.
