GE is moving away from the market as the company tries to narrow its focus, boost cash and stem one of the deepest slumps in its 126-year history. It agreed in April to sell a trio of health-information businesses for $1.05 billion. It's possible that GE could pursue alternatives to an IPO for its health care unit, too. The separation effort picked up pace in June, as then-CEO John Flannery unveiled a plan to sell 20 percent of GE Healthcare and spin off the rest to shareholders. After he was ousted in October amid mounting problems in the power division, successor Larry Culp went a step further, saying he may sell an even bigger piece as part of the push.
