Iindaba

Kangangeminyaka ephantse ibe yi-130, iGeneral Electric ibingomnye wabavelisi abakhulu eMelika. Ngoku iyawa.
Njengophawu lobuchule baseMelika, eli gunya lemizi-mveliso lizibekele uphawu lwalo kwiimveliso eziqala kwiinjini zejethi ukuya kwiibhalbhu zokukhanya, izixhobo zasekhitshini ukuya kumatshini we-X-ray. Imvelaphi yale nkampani inokulandelwa emva kuThomas Edison. Yayikhe yaba yeyona mpumelelo iphambili kwezorhwebo kwaye yaziwa ngembuyekezo yayo ezinzileyo, amandla eenkampani kunye nokufuna ukukhula okungapheliyo.
Kodwa kwiminyaka yakutshanje, njengoko iGeneral Electric izama ukunciphisa imisebenzi yeshishini nokuhlawula amatyala amakhulu, impembelelo yayo enkulu ibe yingxaki eyikhathazayo. Ngoku, kwinto uSihlalo kunye ne-CEO uLarry Culp (uLarry Culp) ayibize ngokuba “lixesha elibalulekileyo”, iGeneral Electric igqibe kwelokuba inokukhulula elona xabiso ngokuziqhekeza.
Le nkampani ibhengeze ngoLwesibini ukuba i-GE Healthcare iceba ukuqala ukusebenza ekuqaleni kuka-2023, kwaye amacandelo amandla ahlaziyekayo kunye namandla aza kudala ishishini elitsha lamandla ekuqaleni kuka-2024. Elinye ishishini i-GE liza kugxila kwiinqwelomoya kwaye liza kukhokelwa yiCulp.
UCulp uthe kwingxelo yakhe: “Ihlabathi lifuna—kwaye lifanelekile—senza konke okusemandleni ethu ukusombulula imingeni emikhulu kwiinqwelomoya, ukhathalelo lwempilo kunye namandla.” “Ngokudala iinkampani ezintathu ezikhokelayo kushishino lwehlabathi, inkampani nganye Zombini zinokungenelwa kulwabiwo-mali olugxile ngakumbi nolulungiselelweyo kunye nokuguquguquka kwesicwangciso, ngaloo ndlela ziqhuba ukukhula kwexesha elide kunye nexabiso labathengi, abatyali-mali kunye nabasebenzi.”
Iimveliso ze-GE zingene kuzo zonke iikona zobomi banamhlanje: unomathotholo kunye neentambo, iinqwelomoya, umbane, ukhathalelo lwempilo, ikhompyutha, kunye neenkonzo zemali. Njengenye yezinto zokuqala zeDow Jones Industrial Average, isitokhwe sayo sasikhe saba sesinye sezona zabelo zigcinwe kakhulu kweli lizwe. Ngo-2007, ngaphambi kwengxaki yezemali, iGeneral Electric yayiyinkampani yesibini ngobukhulu kwihlabathi ngexabiso lemarike, iqhagamshelwe ne-Exxon Mobil, iRoyal Dutch Shell kunye neToyota.
Kodwa njengoko iingxilimbela zobuchwepheshe baseMelika zithatha uxanduva lokuvelisa izinto ezintsha, iGeneral Electric ilahlekelwe yintando yabatyali-mali kwaye kunzima ukuyiphuhlisa. Iimveliso ezivela kwiApple, Microsoft, Alphabet, kunye neAmazon ziye zaba yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yobomi banamhlanje baseMelika, kwaye ixabiso lazo kwimarike lifikelele kwizigidigidi zeedola. Kwangaxeshanye, iGeneral Electric yatshatyalaliswa yiminyaka yamatyala, ukuthengwa kwayo ngexesha elingafanelekanga, kunye nemisebenzi engasebenzi kakuhle. Ngoku ibiza ixabiso lemarike elimalunga ne-$122 yeebhiliyoni.
UDan Ives, umlawuli ophetheyo weWedbush Securities, uthe iWall Street ikholelwa ukuba olu tshintsho bekufanele ukuba lwenzeke kudala.
U-Ives uxelele iWashington Post kwi-imeyile ngoLwesibini wathi: “Iinkampani ezinkulu zemveli ezifana neGeneral Electric, iGeneral Motors, kunye ne-IBM kufuneka zihambisane namaxesha, kuba ezi nkampani zaseMelika zijonga esipilini kwaye zibona ukukhula okucothayo kunye nokungasebenzi kakuhle. “Esi sisahluko esinye kwimbali ende ye-GE kunye nomqondiso wamaxesha kweli hlabathi litsha ledijithali.”
Ngexesha layo lokuphumelela, i-GE yayifana nokuvelisa izinto ezintsha kunye nokugqwesa kwenkampani. UJack Welch, inkokheli yakhe yangaphandle, wanciphisa inani labasebenzi waza wayiphuhlisa ngenkuthalo inkampani ngokuthenga. Ngokutsho kwemagazini iFortune, xa uWelch wathatha izintambo ngo-1981, uGeneral Electric wayexabisa i-14 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zaseMelika, kwaye wayexabisa i-400 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zaseMelika xa wayeshiya isikhundla malunga neminyaka engama-20 kamva.
Ngexesha apho abaphathi babenconywa ngokugxila kwinzuzo endaweni yokujonga iindleko zentlalo zeshishini labo, waba ngumzekelo wamandla eenkampani. I-"Financial Times" yambiza ngokuthi "nguyise wentshukumo yexabiso labaninizabelo" kwaye ngo-1999, imagazini ethi "Fortune" yambiza ngokuba "ngumphathi wenkulungwane".
Ngowama-2001, ulawulo lwanikezelwa kuJeffrey Immelt, owalungisa uninzi lwezakhiwo ezakhiwe nguWelch waza kwafuneka ajongane nelahleko enkulu enxulumene nokusebenza kwamandla kunye neenkonzo zemali zenkampani. Ngexesha leminyaka eli-16 ye-Immelt, ixabiso lesitokhwe se-GE liye lehla ngaphezulu kwekota.
Ngexesha iCulp ithatha izintambo ngo-2018, iGE yayisele ichithe izixhobo zayo zasekhaya, iplastiki kunye namashishini eenkonzo zemali. UWayne Wicker, iGosa eliyiNtloko loTyalo-mali kwiMissionSquare Retirement, uthe inyathelo lokuyahlulahlula ngakumbi inkampani libonisa "ukugxila okuqhubekayo kweCulp kwiqhinga."
“Uyaqhubeka nokugxila ekwenzeni lula uthotho lwamashishini anzima awawazuza njengelifa, kwaye eli nyathelo libonakala libonelela abatyali-mali ngendlela yokuvavanya ngokuzimeleyo iyunithi nganye yeshishini,” uWick uxelele iWashington Post kwi-imeyile. “. “Inkampani nganye kwezi iya kuba nebhodi yayo yabalawuli, enokugxila ngakumbi kwimisebenzi njengoko izama ukonyusa ixabiso labaninizabelo.”
I-General Electric ilahlekelwe sisikhundla sayo kwi-Dow Jones Index ngo-2018 yaza yasithatha indawo ye-Walgreens Boots Alliance kwi-blue chip index. Ukusukela ngo-2009, ixabiso layo lesitokhwe liye lehla nge-2% minyaka le; ngokutsho kwe-CNBC, ngokuchaseneyo, i-S&P 500 index inembuyekezo yonyaka ye-9%.
Kwisibhengezo, iGeneral Electric ithe kulindeleke ukuba inciphise ityala layo ngeebhiliyoni ezingama-75 zeerandi zaseMelika ekupheleni kuka-2021, kwaye ityala elipheleleyo eliseleyo limalunga neebhiliyoni ezingama-65 zeerandi zaseMelika. Kodwa ngokutsho kukaColin Scarola, umhlalutyi wezabelo kwiCFRA Research, amatyala enkampani asenokuchaphazela inkampani entsha ezimeleyo.
“Ukwahlukana akumangalisi, kuba iGeneral Electric ibisoloko ichitha amashishini iminyaka emininzi izama ukunciphisa ibhalansi yayo egqithisileyo,” utshilo uScarola kwingxelo ethunyelwe nge-imeyile kwiWashington Post ngoLwesibini. “Isicwangciso solwakhiwo lwemali emva kokutshintshwa kwe-spin-off asikabonelelwa, kodwa besingenakumangaliswa ukuba inkampani ehlanganisiweyo ithwele umthwalo wetyala elingalinganiyo langoku le-GE, njengoko kusoloko kunjalo ngezi ntlobo zohlengahlengiso.”
Izabelo zeGeneral Electric zivale kwi-$111.29 ngoLwesibini, zinyuke phantse nge-2.7%. Ngokwedatha yeMarketWatch, isitokhwe sinyuke ngaphezulu kwe-50% ngo-2021.
