Read MoreHide Full Article

General Electric Company’s (GE - Free Report) aviation division recently announced that it collaborated with PASSUR Aerospace, Inc. (PSSR - Free Report) to leverage its domain expertise in software development, design thinking and FastWorks. 

PASSUR is a leading business intelligence company in the U.S.  The company’s information solutions are used by the five of the largest North American airlines, across over 60 airport customers, hundreds of business aviation customers and the U.S. government.

The agreement will allow General Electric understand the customers’ needs and drive efficiency. With iterative input from its customers, PASSUR will create next generation aviation intelligence solutions to address operational challenges and opportunities in order to improve overall airline and airport reliability, service and cash flow.

This collaboration will be the start of a design process leading to new, transformative capabilities for PASSUR's customers. It will shape the vision and future of PASSUR's integrated suite of solutions. The deal is an important milestone in both companies' active investment in the Industrial Internet.

Despite the change in its top-level management, General Electric has been expanding its business and launching new products to augment growth. Recently, it announced the launch of its expanded Predix-based software applications suite. With the latest ‘Digital Utility’ solutions, energy traders are connected to valuable, real-time plant productivity and capacity data to permit more profitable, analytics-informed trading.  

However, General Electric has underperformed the Zacks categorized Diversified Operations industry in the last three months owing to macroeconomic challenges and fluctuations in currency exchanges. The company reported an average loss of 4.3% against 3.8% gain for the industry in the same time frame.  We expect the company to improve its performance on the back of its strategic decisions.

General Electric presently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). A couple better-ranked stocks in the industry include Barloworld Limited (BRRAY - Free Report) and Bunzl plc (BZLFY - Free Report) both carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Barloworld has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 17.2%.

Bunzl plc has a long-term earnings growth expectation of 3.20%.
