Description:
Parent company General Electric is looking to transform itself under new CEO John Flannery (the former healthcare chief who succeeded Jeff Immelt last year), announcing plans to shift its worldwide headquarters to Boston and spin out its GE Healthcare subsidiary as a stand-alone, publicly traded entity. GE is also planning an “orderly separation” from its 62.5% stake in the BHGE oil and gas servicing and equipment unit over the next two to three years. Chicago-based GE Healthcare has long been a bright spot for GE, consistently posting sales and profit gains despite overall declines at GE. In April 2018 the division agreed to sell its value-based healthcare division to Veritas Capital for $1.05 billion in cash.
