1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Over the past three months, General Electric's shares underperformed the industry. Weakening GE Power business remains a major cause of worry for the company. General Electric perceives that reduced new gas orders, increasing popularity of renewable energy sources, overcapacity, macroeconomic challenges and geopolitical tensions might continue to take a toll on the segment's performance in the quarters ahead. Notably, General Electric predicts adjusted industrial free cash to be roughly $6 billion in 2018, a downward revision from $6-$7 billion expected earlier. The revision has been made mainly to account for the ongoing challenges in the company's GE Power business segment.
