4Q08 revenue down 5%, EPS down 47%, but even its finance sector manage to have profit in tough time, I will say it meet the low range of my expectation.
2008 revenue up 6% EPS down 19% (drop mainly due to Finance segment, if I exclude Finance, GE's revenue & profit up 8.8% & 5.3%), thanks to high growth in its infrastructure segments.
The company will keep its dividend at $1.24 and it still has a AAA credit rating.
Cash position remain strong, debt to equity ratio looks high just cuz it has the Finance segment, by split the Finance & non-Finance segment, debt equity ratio actually looks great.
