General Electric's bond ratings measure its overall creditworthiness, which in many ways corresponds to the cost of borrowing for an issuer. These ratings assign a letter grade to all of General Electric's outstanding corporate bonds that indicate their credit quality. We use reports published by private self-sufficient rating services such as Standard & Poor's or Fitch Ratings Inc. to evaluate a bond issuer's financial strength or its ability to pay a bond's principal and interest.
Financial leverage usually refers to the use of borrowed funds to amplify returns from an investment. In general, analyzing the relationship between debt to total assets helps investors to understand General Electric's financial leverage.

By using current balance sheet information, investors can analyze the liability, assets, and equity on General Electric's books and decide whether to invest or hold.

Liquidity
General Electric cash flow analysis is essential to understand how it generates and spends money over a specific period. It can also help you figure out where your money is going and how much cash you have available at a given moment. The company reports 22.94 B of total liabilities with total debt to equity ratio (D/E) of 1.0, which is normal for its line of buisiness. General Electric has a current ratio of 1.08, indicating that it is not liquid enough and may have problems paying out its debt commitments in time. Debt can assist General Electric until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, General Electric's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like General Electric sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for General to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about General Electric's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
