General Electric - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts.

MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

General Electric

General Electric's stock price recently reached $187.44, reflecting a significant increase of 10.7%, indicating strong market interest and potential for further growth.
Institutional investors hold 74.77% of General Electric's stock, suggesting confidence in the company's stability and future performance.

General Electric
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in General Electric for these reasons:

The company's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is 31.29, which may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.
General Electric's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.88 suggests a relatively high level of debt, which could pose risks in times of economic downturns or rising interest rates.
Despite recent gains, the stock has a 52-week high of $214.21, indicating that it may face resistance at higher price levels, limiting short-term upside potential.
Market volatility can impact stock performance, and with a beta of 1.04, General Electric's stock may be more sensitive to market fluctuations, increasing investment risk.
Recent institutional selling, such as Aviva PLC reducing its holdings by 12.9%, may signal a lack of confidence among some investors, which could affect market perception.
