History

Historical Context

In 2017, General Electric (GE) settled a $1.5 billion lawsuit over misleading cash flow guidance, reflecting growing concerns about corporate transparency. This scrutiny intensified after GE reported a $3.3 billion loss in its pension plan in 2018. By Q2 2025, GE Aerospace rebounded with $11 billion in revenue, yet ongoing supply chain issues continue to challenge the aerospace sector's recovery.
