Frequently asked
Is General Electric (GE) a high-quality business?+
General Electric scores 79 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which rates it a solid business on these measures. Recent figures include a 17.7% operating margin and a 20.0% return on invested capital. Quality and price are separate questions: even a great business can be a poor investment if you overpay, so read this score alongside the valuation. The metric-by-metric breakdown is on this scorecard.
What does General Electric's quality score measure?+
Intrinsiqq's quality score weighs revenue and free-cash-flow growth, operating margins, return on invested capital, change in share count, and balance-sheet strength, each computed from GE's SEC filings rather than opinion or sentiment. A higher score means a more durable, capital-efficient business; it is not a buy or sell signal. Open each metric on this page to see exactly where General Electric scores well and where it falls behind.
What is General Electric's return on invested capital (ROIC)?+
General Electric earns about 20.0% on its invested capital, which is exceptional. ROIC measures how much profit a company generates per dollar put to work; sustained ROIC above its cost of capital is one of the clearest signs of a real competitive moat. Compare it to GE's margins and growth on this scorecard to judge durability.
How profitable is General Electric?+
General Electric runs an operating margin of about 17.7% and a net margin of about 17.3%. Revenue has grown at roughly -9.6% a year recently. High, stable margins usually point to pricing power and operating discipline. Margins are most telling next to growth and returns on capital, all of which feed this quality score. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
