Boston, MA 10\/22\/2013 (wallstreetpr) –\u00a0The company\u2019s share prices have been soaring in recent times at the back of strong third quarter results. The company had recently posted a record backlog of orders, which according to the company, positioned it well for 2014. This has helped to boost investor confidence in the company, and has sent positive signals to the market, leading to a rise in its share prices. This also resulted in overshadowing a decline in quarterly profit and revenue.<\/p>\n
The backlog at the company, ranging from jet engines to locomotives to turbines, had jumped nearly 13% compared with a year ago quarter. The main rise in the share prices can be attributed to the overall impressing performance of the entire group, as against the pattern in the past. Earnings increased at six out of seven of GE\u2019s businesses, and the company is optimistic of expanding its profit margins next year. The company, which everyone doubted of performing, given the size if the company, has used such economies of scale in its advantage.<\/p>\n
The company attributes the boom in infrastructure as one of the main reasons for its outperforming. Orders in China have grown, more than compared to U.S. or Europe. Orders from China rose by 17%, because of the fact that the Chinese economy, which accounts for a major part of the market share of the company, has focused on building their economy, including renewable energy, along with upgrading medical facilities.<\/p>\n
However, the surge has been as a result of the world economy gearing up, rather than any restructuring steps at the company. This means any benefit shall be general to the industry, leaving speculations of how its rivals would perform in such a competitive and positive environment. Such figures at GE may then appear minimal, which has opened a downside risk for the share prices of the company, which had seen unnatural growth in recent times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
