SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Notifies Investors of Class Action Against General Electric Company (GE) & Lead Plaintiff Deadline: January 2, 2018

NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against General Electric Company ("GE" or the "Company") (NYSE: GE) and certain of its officers, on behalf of a class who purchased or otherwise acquired GE securities between July 21, 2017, and October 20, 2017, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/ge.

This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On October 20, 2017, GE revealed its quarterly results for the third quarter 2017, divulging earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.29, falling below earnings estimates of $0.49 per share. GE also lowered its 2017 earnings expectations, lowering EPS to $1.05-$1.10 from $1.60-$1.70. On that same day, GE held a conference call to discuss its financial results and GE CEO John Flannery said that the Company was finalizing a review of its operations and that, "While the company has many areas of strength, it's also clear from our current results that we need to make some major changes with urgency and a depth of purpose. Our results are unacceptable, to say the least." Following this news, GE stock dropped close to 7% or $1.51 per share, over two trading sessions, to close at $22.32 on October 23, 2017.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) GE's various operating segments, including its Power segment, were underperforming Company projections, with order drops, excess inventories and increased costs; (2) as a result GE overstated its full year 2017 guidance; and, (3) consequently, Defendants' statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects, were false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.
