GE History

GE's stock performance is generally viewed as a bellwether for the entire market. From the late 80's to the mid-90's, GE shares gradually climbed into the double digits. During the late 90's, GE experienced their greatest period of share price growth, rising from the low teens to an all-time high of just over $57.

The bursting dot.com bubble slashed GE's stock value in half. By the beginning of 2003, GE traded near $25/share, and by 2007 the multinational conglomerate recovered to just over $41 per share. But the global meltdown of 2008 sent GE tumbling back towards the low double digit range.

GE Last Month
