Why General Electric Company's Shares Plunged Again on Tuesday

Shares of General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) fell as much as 8.2% in trading on Tuesday, continuing a plunge in the stock this week. Tuesday's drop was driven by RBC Capital analyst Deane Dray's downgrade of the stock, a turnaround from a formerly bullish view. At 3:20 p.m. EST shares were down 5.4% on the day.

Dray was one of a small number of analysts who had a positive view of GE's stock but today downgraded the stock to sector perform. The turnaround plan will be "more protracted" than he previously thought. This continued a week of downgrades of GE from Wall Street analysts.
