Some say, “As goes GE so goes the economy.” With earnings due out Friday morning, what should you expect?
Investors are eagerly awaiting earnings news from General Electric believing the corporate giant could serve as a barometer for the overall economy, explains Dylan Ratigan.
I think GE will be a “tell” for Honeywell , says Guy Adami. If GE says good things I recommend getting long HON.
Or look at Siemens , adds Tim Seymour. If you hear good things from GE’s infrastructure division, than SI would be appealing to me.
The bottom line: Good news from GE could be good news for the rest of the industrial complex.
