GROWING PORTFOLIO: GE reported increased profits at all seven of its industrial segments, with growth topping 10 percent at four of them — oil and gas, energy management, aviation and transportation.

THE OUTLOOK: GE said its backlog of new business reached a company record of $210 billion. In a conference call with investors, CEO Jeff Immelt said he expects resurgent growth in China to continue and for the U.S. housing market to continue its steady recovery.
