Shares of General Electric Co. jumped on Tuesday, recovering after a spate of weakness that took it to its lowest level since 2009. The stock GE, +5.62% surged 5.8%; it was on track for its biggest one-day percentage gain since April 2015. The industrial conglomerate was by far the biggest percentage gainer among components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, however, this comes after a session where it was the only one of the 30 Dow stocks to end negative on the day, despite a massive rally in the overall market. In addition, because the Dow is price-weighted, rather than being organized by the market capitalization of its components, GE's rise had a minimal impact on the overall move of the blue-chip average, as the stock is the cheapest of the 30 by far. GE is coming off three straight days of declines, and it has fallen in eight of the past 11 sessions. Thus far this year, it is down 22%, and it has shed more than half its value over the past 12 months amid a myriad of issues, including weak a profit outlook and a 50% reduction in its dividend. The Dow DJIA, +0.24% rose 0.6% on Tuesday while the S&P 500 SPX, -0.15% was up 0.2% and the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -1.17% was down 0.5%.
