- Amid a flurry of divestments, General Electric (GE +2.5%) says it's got no intent to split off any (significant) parts of its healthcare business, despite questions about whether it fits the business any more than finance assets.
- "Bottom line is we have been black and white that all aspects of healthcare are part of our portfolio," GE Healthcare CEO John Flannery told a Morgan Stanley investor conference.
- That's despite speculation that some parts could be more valuable if separated. The company gets "a lot of questions" about the life sciences part of the business, but it's "a high-value beachfront property that is appreciating in value," Flannery says.
- The business will focus on internal improvement rather than a sale or split, he said.
