GE - Adjustment

The following adjustment was made today on General Electric (GE). All prices include IB commissions.

CriteriaValue
Dividend Champions StatusFallen Angel*
Previous Years of Consecutive Dividend Increases32**
Fair Value Estimate$25.00
Target Buy Price$20.00
Target Margin of Safety20.00%
Actual Buy Price$18.00
Actual Margin of Safety28.00%

*GE is what I classify as a Fallen Angel (i.e. former Dividend Champion). GE cut the dividend in 2009, but has since increased it in 2010 and 2011. **Prior to cutting the dividend GE had 32 years of consecutive dividend increases.
