NEW YORK -- General Electric GE is expected by Wall Street analysts on Friday to post fourth-quarter earnings of 43 cents a share on revenue of $38.74 billion.
The industrial conglomerate posted earnings of 36 cents in the third quarter, and 39 cents during the year-earlier fourth quarter.
CEO Jeff Immelt said last month that "we feel good about how we are positioned" for 2013, but the GE chief also was careful to lower investors' expectations for the quarter.
