General Electric
Major industrial corporation
General Electric is an American multinational corporation, long one of the world's largest industrial conglomerates.
Founded in 1892, GE became synonymous with American manufacturing—from lightbulbs and appliances to jet engines and power plants.
The company's diversification into finance, healthcare, and media made it a bellwether of corporate America, though recent decades brought contraction and breakup.
GE stock was once considered a safe investment.
