Modern day Seinfeld: Jerry dates a woman named Julia with views on the Middle East he hates but she has a giant rack. Kramer stockpiles barrels of crude oil to sell for a profit but didn’t realize it can’t go in cars, and now has to try to sell it back. George tries to make insider bets on DraftKings on Yankees trades but the team never makes any of the trades. Elaine is smitten by a handsome guy but won’t commit because he still listens to Diddy music since “Diddy never did anything to me.” Newman has to deliver mail to “J. Epstein” and is convinced Jeffrey must still be alive, so he stakes out the apartment, only to find it’s actually Julia, the girl Jerry is dating.
The break up of GE has created an impressive amount of shareholder value:
▫️In 2023, GE was worth $120B before splitting off into three. Those firms — GE Healthcare ($34B), GE Vernova ($212B) and GE Aerospace ($340B) — now a combined $586B (~5x).
▫️Combined $14B profit for GE Vernova (huge AI data centre demand for gas turbines) and GE Aerospace (sticky plane parts business) in 2025 was more than GE’s total profit the decade before splitting off.
▫️In 2019, GE sold majority stake in O&G services business Baker Hughes and it’s market cap is since up 3x to $60B.
▫️Same year, GE sold GE Transportation for $11B merged with Wabtec Corp, which is now worth $42B.
▫️In 2018, GE sold an on-site generator busienss to PE for $3B and up 5x to $15B now.
▫️A bunch of former GE Capital folk running similar business (aircraft lending, mid-market corproate) at Apollo.
