GE 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 1
GROWTH STARTS HERE
In the 2008 letter to shareowners, as we grappled with
the worst economy since the Great Depression, we
talked about a global economic reset. In 2009, we talked
about GE’s renewal as we established our priorities for
the company in an improving global economy.
In 2010, growth resumed and our earnings expanded by
15%. GE Capital’s earnings rebounded sharply. We raised
the dividend twice, for a combined 40% increase. Our
stock price responded well, up 21% for the year. Our aim
in 2011 and beyond is to continue the progress.
