General Electric Co. on Friday reported a decline in third-quarter profit, but strong performances from its core units helped the company top Wall Street expectations.
General Electric has been making a push to focus on industrial businesses — making large, complicated equipment for other companies — and shrinking its other businesses that focus on finance. The largest change involves selling most of GE Capital's assets, including $26.5 billion in real estate assets.
The Fairfield, Conn., company said profit fell 29% to $2.5 billion, or 25 cents a share. Revenue fell 1% to $31.7 billion.
Earnings, adjusted for non-recurring costs and to account for discontinued operations, came to 32 cents a share. Earnings including the GE Capital businesses that the company is keeping amounted to 29 cents a share. That topped Wall Street expectations with the average estimate of 11 analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research for earnings of 26 cents a share.
