General Electric Co. warned that its business would be pressured by supply-chain disruptions this year after reporting strong quarterly growth for its jet-engine unit as commercial air traffic recovers from a pandemic-fueled decline.
The Boston conglomerate said Tuesday that its full-year results were on track to come in at the low end of predictions it issued in January. The manufacturer continues to face pressure from supply-chain disruptions and rising raw-material and freight costs, and impact from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“As we continue to work through inflation and other evolving pressures, we’re currently trending toward the low end of the range,” CEO
Larry Culp
said.
