Comparison of Five-Year Cumulative Total Return Among GE, S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)
The annual changes for the five-year period shown in the graph on this page are based on the assumption that $100 had been invested in GE stock and each index on December 31, 1996 (as required by SEC rules) and that all quarterly dividends were reinvested at the average of the closing stock prices at the beginning and end of the quarter. The total cumulative dollar returns shown on the logarithmic scale of the graph represent the value that such investments would have had on December 31, 2001.
