Signify Premium Insight: To Dream and to Do – GE Stands Alone

Earlier this month, years of planning and preparation came to fruition as GE HealthCare successfully floated on the Nasdaq exchange as an independent company. There was considerable appetite for the new entrant, which saw shares up 8% at the close of its first day trading.

While the spin-off has been well received by investors, what does the future look like for GE HealthCare itself?

The Signify View

Breaking free from the wider concerns of the GE conglomerate will no doubt be both liberating and invigorating for the stalwart healthtech vendor. The move means that GE HealthCare’s destiny is almost entirely in its own hands. It will no longer have to return profits to the conglomerate should other GE businesses such as Aviation or Energy need support amidst difficult conditions in their own markets.
