What is the value of the company General Electric?
Answers:
It depends on how you determine value (there are several ways). One way is the Market Cap, ie the number of shares of stock outstanding times the current stock price (ie the cost to buy all the outstanding stock at the current price). By the calculation the value is 385 billion.
Another way is enterprise value (or EV). This is stock cost plus debt plus costs of preferred shares, minus the cash on hand. This is a more realistic way to judge the actual cost to buy the company. By this measure its worth 816 Billion.
As you can see, these numbers are very, very different. Also there are other ways but they can get real complicated. If I were you I'd mention these two numbers and say that actual "true" value is impossible to determine.
Good luck.
G.E. is 385.29 billion dollars of company.
It's value according to the Stock Market (Market Cap) is slightly more than $385 Billion. However, if it was going to be sold or you wanted to buy it, you would use its Enterprise Value which is currently almost $814 Billion.
