GE Stock Price Is Closest It's Been to Analyst Target in a Year

(Bloomberg) -- Depending on your viewpoint, either the General Electric Co. rally is overdone or Wall Street hasn’t yet grasped its power.

The stock’s price potential -- the ratio of analysts’ average target to the current share value -- is at the lowest level in the past year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
