Summary
For all its problems, General Electric is not without attractive opportunities.
In the next several years, as Sub-Saharan Africa continues to develop, the company will have a real opportunity to benefit.
In several key sets of operations, the conglomerate already has a nice presence and it can capitalize on this paradigm shift.
It will be a long road, but investors who are in it for the long haul should watch over all of this carefully.

Most investors, myself included, generally think of General Electric (GE) as a US company, but what we don’t tend to think too much about is the potential the business has to expand through other nations or even entire continents. Such is the case with the conglomerate and its business in Africa. As the continent undergoes a global transition, General Electric stands to benefit nicely and in a way that, at least initially, few firms can. This, in turn, could be setting the stage for additional strong value creation from the business for several years to come, something that shareholders, at this time in General Electric’s history, desperately need.
