Widely followed analyst Tusa says GE report shows ‘material and negative’ disclosures

Key Points

“There were a few disclosures that we would consider material and negative to anyone building a model and doing fundamental analysis,” J.P. Morgan’s Stephen Tusa writes.

The embattled industrial company released its annual report late Tuesday and went into greater detail on the state of its insurance liabilities.

The analyst gained a following on Wall Street for his work on GE after his negative call in May 2016.

General Electric’s latest annual update to shareholders justifies a below-consensus view on earnings and free cash flow, according to widely followed J.P. Morgan analyst Stephen Tusa.

“There were a few disclosures that we would consider material and negative to anyone building a model and doing fundamental analysis,” Tusa wrote to clients. On industrial free cash flow, it’s the “same result and now working capital benefits officially peak out.”

The embattled industrial company released its annual report late Tuesday and went into greater detail on the state of its insurance liabilities and how its financial and industrial arms work together. But that wasn’t enough to pacify some analysts, including Tusa.

The analyst gained a following on Wall Street for his work on GE after his negative call in May 2016. Tusa was the first to warn investors that shares of the one-time Dow Jones Industrial Average member were going to fall. That was back when the stock was above $30. It closed Wednesday at $10.88.

Tusa said the latest annual report has a lot of incremental disclosures that are a challenge for average investors to understand. “There are still a myriad of moving parts between and into and out of GE and GECS, a significant amount of restatement versus the 2017 10-K, and even another reclassification of cash flow from operating to investing which was $5 billion,” he said.

“Lastly, the word ‘adjusted’ was used 113 times, two times the amount it was used in the 2017 10-K,” he wrote. “So far little change and little of value around important items we had previously highlighted as key to better understanding the story.”

GE’s stock jumped on the day in December that J.P. Morgan upgraded the company’s rating to neutral from underperform. Tusa has been critical of the idea that GE’s stock should rise because of CEO Larry Culp providing more insight to the company’s business.

“You don’t just get an entitlement for saying ‘we’re going to call it what it is and we’re going to operate above board,’” Tusa said Wednesday.

Plantguard Fault Tolerant Technology

With an increasing awareness of personnel safety, environmental protection, and process profitability, the Plantguard fault tolerant control system offers a safe solution with near zero downtime.

It’s powerful, flexible and extremely configurable.

• No compromise design – TUV certified fault tolerant without repair time restrictions. Always fault tolerant, always safe.

• Maximise plant up time – TMR architecture identifies and outvotes CPU mismatches and keeps running

• Certified safe – certified by TUV to AK6 and meets IEC61508 SIL1-3 requirements.

• Certified to NFPA72C for Fire and Gas detection applications.

• Simple user programming – familiar IE61131-3 based programming allows users to configure both safety and continuous process programs.

• Plantguard features full online (Bumpless) module replacement with no process interruption.

• HIFT keeps it simple, keeps it safe – Hardware implemented fault tolerance design reduces operating system size, minimises systems software and increases processing speed, offering the end user the safest and simplest design.

Buy only what you need – wide range of configurable, fault tolerant, multi function I/O modules to suit most applications.

Fault Containment

Distributed hardware voting prevents hardware fault propagation.

Fault containment allows the system to operate safely with multiple faults.

Largest I/O Capacity

Plantguard can support systems of over 7000 I/O points. Using the same architecture for applications from 16 to 7000 I/O means less training and fewer spares.

Plantguard Software

TMR tolerates faults

The Plantguard TMR architecture will outvote errors to continue running safely. This fault tolerant feature ensures maximum run time of the plant – a major life time cost improvement factor. To repair an unhealthy CPU or I/O module, you simply swap the module online without upsetting the process or taking the system offline.

Plantguard controller

This 19” x 6µ chassis contains CPU, CPU spare slot and 8 slots for any mix of interface module.

Open but safe

Using Ethernet, Plantguard can integrate with other process management products. OPC allows seamless integration with a host system. The Plantguard OPC implementation includes the data acquisition and alarms and events protocols. This ensures that all locally time stamped (1MSEC) data is transferred to the host system.

Remote Diagnostics

Using the Internet, a Plantguard system can be configured and monitored from anywhere in the world provided local password protected permission is given.

Remote Expander

Expander chassis (10 per system) can be distributed over 10km or 6 miles apart using the fibre-optic expander bus which saves cable costs and improves immunity from external interference.

Signature Analysis Diagnostics

Predictive maintenance diagnostics provide signature analysis of end device as well as environmental conditions of the hardware, alerting the operator to problems before they happen

1ms time event stamps

True 1ms sequences of events (SOE) resolution (regardless of system size), for each alarm threshold, analogue or digital, input or output point, configured at the module to give the operator the most accurate resolution for process and system level alarms

Sitewide synchronised time

All Plantguard systems can be synchronised to any IRIG-B time source for sitewide synchronisation of all events to a few milliseconds.

IEC61131-3 Configuration Tools

The IEC1131 Toolset allows you to define up to 250 individual programs using any of the 5 specified languages, LD, FBD, ST, SFC, and IL in each project. Offline simulation, online de-bug, graphical interface provides simple and appropriate tools for configuration, verification and maintenance of the application logic.

Firewall Protection

The toolset makes use of the Firewall protection designed into the operating system to guarantee that safety related application tasks are isolated from noncritical tasks

Saves space and cost

Plantguard has the smallest footprint of any fault tolerant system.

Self protected outputs

By replacing troublesome, short-lived fuses in output circuits with current limited, selfprotected outputs Plantguard I/O reduces maintenance costs.

The widest range of fault tolerant I/O modules

Ranging from low density modules of 16 points to high density modules with 40 and 60 points, Plantguard I/O makes it possible to tailor the most cost effective solutions for each segregated process under control.

Distributed fault tolerant intelligence

Because Plantguard has distributed fault tolerant intelligence at the I/O module, you can configure multiple alarm thresholds per point and active line monitoring continuously checks sensor and wiring

Field Power Consumption-T9110

To estimate overall controller power dissipation it is necessary to include the field power component dissipated within the controller. Referto the table “Field Loop Power Heat Dissipation”. The field power requirements should be calculated separately and is dependent on the number and type of field elements. Refer to the specifications for the Digital and Analogue output modules for details of the channel output electrical specifications.

System Design Considerations for Heat Dissipation and Cooling

The controlleris designed to operate in its specified environment without forced air cooling. However, forced air cooling may be needed in individual circumstances when the controller shares its enclosure with other heat producing equipment and the internal temperature could exceed the recommended operating temperature range.

Module Orientation

Rockwell only recommend that modules are oriented vertically, if modules are mounted in any other orientation, then specific temperature tests must be done to achieve reliable and predictable operation.

Maximum Air Temperature

The maximum air temperature rating in an enclosure where AADvance modules are installed to support predictable operation is 70 °C (158 ° F).

Estimate Heat Dissipation

The heat in the enclosure is generated from several sources such as the power supplies, the AADvance modules and some of the field loop power. Use the following calculation and the data given in the tables to estimate the overall heat dissipation:

• Power supply consumption (Watts x (100-efficiency) (%) + the sum of the system power consumed by the modules + part of the field power that is in the enclosure.

The following module power dissipation values are worst case values over the range of operating voltages and currents.

Estimating Center of Gravity Information

If it is necessary to calculate the location of the center of gravity of an AADvance controller destined for a maritime or other shock-mounted application, it is reasonable to assume the center of gravity of each assembly of modules and their base unit is at the geometric center of the assembly

Design Considerations for Electrical Grounding

All applications of the controller will require at least two separate ground (earth) systems:

• An AC safety ground (sometimes called the ‘dirty ground’) to protect people in the event of a fault. The ground stud on the T9100 processor base unit, and all exposed metalwork such as DIN rails, will be bonded to the AC safety ground.

• An instrument ground (sometimes called the ‘clean ground’ or the ‘0 Vdc ground’) to provide a good stable 0 V reference for the system. Every signal return will be referenced to the instrument ground. The instrument ground will be isolated from the AC safety ground.

The AC safety ground and the instrument ground will usually be made available through bus-bars. Bus-bars must be of copper; they may be nickel plated. For a small application, you may use ground studs instead of bus-bars.

Some field wiring, such as communications cables, will need shielded (screened) cable. There may be a shield ground, in addition to the AC safety and instrument grounds, to provide a common point to terminate shields of such cables. The shield ground will usually be connected to the AC safety ground; or, more rarely, to the instrument ground. In practice, the continuity of the shield connections will be more important than the goodness of the ground connection provided.

The controller input and output modules incorporate galvanic isolation. Nevertheless, it is possible that a particular application will require the provision of barrier strips with galvanic isolation, for example to provide consistency with an existing installation. In these cases, there may be a separate intrinsic safety ground as well.

Specify software requirements

For information about supported operating systems and other software product version support, refer to product release notes from the Product Compatibility and Download Center (PCDC): rok.auto/pcdc.

Design Considerations for Maintenance Activities

Maintenance Activities

The design of the installation must allow preventive and corrective maintenance activities to take place. Corrective maintenance tasks will embrace the identification and renewal of defective modules and other assemblies and, when exhausted, renewal of the back-up battery within the T9110 processor module.

Fuses on the termination assemblies can be replaced so access to the fuses is required. There are no user-serviceable parts inside modules therefore repair is by replacement; defective modules should be returned to Rockwell Automation forinvestigation and repair.

Design Provisions

The design of the controller installation should make the following provisions:

• Clear access to remove and install modules, termination assemblies, base units and security dongle (Program Enable key). Repair of controller modules will be by module replacement.

In addition, it may be appropriate to make the following provisions:

• A lock on the door of the enclosure, to deter unauthorized access and possible unofficial modifications.

• Lighting.

• Utility sockets.

Connecting the AADvance Controller to the Network

The T9100 processor base unit has six auto-sensing 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet ports which allow it to connect to a local area network through standard Rj45 Ethernet cable. These are two ports for each processor module.

If a direct connection is required from the controller to the computer (for example, during setting up) use a crossover cable. This will depend on the characteristics of the network interface in the PC.

The fixed connectors on the controller are RJ45 sockets. Use Cat5e (enhanced) cables with RJ45 modular plugs forthe network cabling.

Connect the network cables to the sockets on the T9100 processor base unit.

• For each network connection, insert the RJ45 modular plug on the cable into the appropriate socket.

• Make sure the length of the cable does not exceed 100m (328 ft).

Referto the illustration for an example.

Removal EMERSON FLOBOSS S600

To remove a module:

1. Power down the S600+ before you attempt to extract a module.

Unscrew the retention screws before you attempt to remove a module. This avoids damage to the ejectors (refer to Figure 2-8).

Unlatch the ejectors for the appropriate module and pull the module clear of the case. You may need to rock the module slightly to release it from its connectors (refer to Figures 2-9 and 2-10).

To install a module:

Carefully align the module with the guides (located at the top and bottom of the case). Gently slide the module into the case until it seats fully with the appropriate connector on the backplane.

Press each of the two ejectors securely into place once the module is fully inserted.

Secure the module with the retention screws (two per board).

Installing EMC Protection

Your site may require you to install electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding on the S600+ to minimize electromagnetic interference. The S600+ EMC protection kit (which came with your S600+) typically has the following components:

1 security backplate (place over the installed modules)

1 25-way EMISTOP Inline T Filter Adaptor (attach to the 25-pin socket A on the I/O module)

1 37-way EMISTOP Inline T Filter Adaptor (attach to the 37-pin socket B on the I/O module)

3 large (for 13mm cable) ferrite clamps

3 medium (for 10mm cables) ferrite clamps

1 small (for 6.5mm cables) ferrite clamp

2 M3 x 6mm screws (which secure the EMC backplate to the sides of the S600+ housing)

5 TY523 Ty-Rap self-locking cable fasteners (use as necessary to secure cables)

Note: These are standard components for a standard configuration. If your S600+ has a different configuration (for example, additional modules), you may have more components.

Install the EMC kit after you install the S600+ but before you wire the modules.

To install the EMC components:

Unscrew and remove the small Phillips-head screws on the I/O module (see Figure 2-11).

Place the security backplate over the modules already installed in the S600+ and secure the backplate to the I/O module using the two screws you removed in step 1 (see Figure 2-12).

Note: In actual operation, the two right-most slots on the S600+ shown in Figure 2-12 would either contain modules or would be covered by blanking plates.

Secure the backplate to the sides of the S600+ housing using the 2 M3 x 6mm screws.

Place and secure the 25-way and 37-way EMISTOP adaptors (see Figure 2-13) onto, respectively, sockets A and B on the I/O module (see Figure 2-14).

Wire the modules according to your site’s requirements.

Attach a small ferrite clamp onto the wiring to socket A on the I/O module. Attach large ferrite clamps onto the cables to sockets B and C (see Figure 2-14).

Attach a large ferrite clamp onto the wiring to the CPU’s power connections and one medium clamp to the COM3 and COM 4 connections (see Figure 2-15).

Attach a medium ferrite clamp onto the wiring for COMs 5, 6, and 7 and a small ferrite clamp onto the Ethernet cable (see Figure 2- 16).

This completes the installation process and provides the S600+ with EMC protection.

CPU Module (P152)

The CPU module contains the host processor and associated peripherals, which form the heart of the S600+ system. Various plug-in connections are provided on the rear backplate of the CPU module. Refer to Figure 3-1 for an illustration of the CPU module backplate and to Figure 3-2 for a schematic of the CPU power terminations. Figure 3-3 shows the wiring terminations. Additionally, the module uses connectors and jumpers, which are set at the factory prior to shipping. See Section 3.5, Jumpers for further information.

It is recommended that all wiring be made with stranded wire that is no larger than 1.5 mm2 (0.0023 in2 ) For the communication ports, wiring of 1.75 mm2 to 1.65 mm2 (0.0027 in2 to 0.0025 in2 ) is recommended. Power wiring is recommended to be 1.5 mm2 (0.0023 in2 ). Observe all local wiring practices and regulations.

Power Supply

The power connection is a plug-in, standard 5 mm pitch screw terminal block on the CPU module. The power supply connector is labeled TB1. Refer to Table 3-1 for the TB-1 pin connections.

Power the S600+ using a nominal 30 Volts dc power source capable of supplying 2 Amps. The S600+ operates between 20 and 32 Volt dc.

The startup in-rush current may draw 6 amps for approximately 100 milliseconds. This in-rush becomes significant when multiple flow computers are connected to the same power supply.

An on-board anti-surge fuse (2.5 Amp slow blow rating) protects the supply line should a fault occur within the unit.

Fully regulated 15 and 24 Volts dc supplies are also available for applications such as powering loops or pre-amplifiers. Resettable thermal fuses protect these outputs.

Watchdog Relay

A single pole, double-throw relay with Normally Open or Normally Closed terminals provides the watchdog status from pins 6, 7, and 8 of TB-1. Table 3-2 shows the TB-1 pin connections. Connection is through plug-in, standard 5 mm pitch screw terminals.

The relay is energized during normal operation. A CPU failure causes the relay to de-energize.

Note: Contact is rated at 1 Amp, 30 Volts dc and 30 Volts ac, and is a Form “C” contact.

On-Board Battery Backup

The backup battery (see Figure 3-2) retains the contents of the SRAM on the CPU module, the PC-compatible BIOS CMOS memory area, and the calendar clock. The battery, a Lithium 3.0 volt 1500 mAmp/hour unit, is user-replaceable. For further battery specifications, see the technical specification (S600+). To ensure that the battery is fully functional, the S600+ software routinely performs a regular load test on the unit.

Trump ‘not happy’ with Boeing Air Force One delays, but airlines growing optimistic

President Donald Trump has expressed displeasure in recent days about the long wait for two Boeing 747s to serve as the new Air Force One aircraft.

The planes are years behind schedule for delivery. Trump signed a $4 billion contract for the planes during his first term, and it’s unclear if they will be ready during his current term. Cost overruns have totaled more than $2 billion so far.

Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg reiterated Thursday that Trump adviser Elon Musk is working with Boeing to get the planes delivered faster.

“The president is clearly not happy with the delivery timeline. I think he’s made that very clear,” Ortberg said at the Barclays Industrials Conference. “Elon Musk has actually been very helpful to us in terms of meeting the requirements … helping us work through those non-value-added constraints so that we can move more quickly and get these airplanes delivered to the president.”

Ortberg praised Musk as a “smart guy” who “is able to very quickly identify the difference between a technical requirement and a hurdle that we can get around.” Musk is the CEO of SpaceX, which competes with Boeing’s defense and space division.

Trump told reporters on Wednesday aboard a 747 presidential jet he’s currently flying that he was considering other options.

“We might buy a plane, or buy a plane, or something,” Trump said, according to Reuters, who toured a 747 parked at Florida’s Palm Beach International Airport over the weekend, according to the outlet.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Disappointment is nothing new for Boeing’s airline customers, who faced long delays at the start of the post-pandemic travel boom. A near-catastrophic blowout of Boeing’s door plugs in January 2024 further slowed deliveries and prompted a leadership change.

Now, some customers are starting to become more optimistic. Executives told CNBC that the manufacturer appears to have turned a corner after Ortberg took over in August.

“Boeing has done a pretty good job of turning things around and becoming a more reliable supplier,” United Chief Financial Officer Mike Leskin said at the same Barclays conference on Wednesday. “In my time at United, our confidence in on-time MAX deliveries has never been stronger.”

Bob Jordan, CEO of all-Boeing 737 carrier Southwest, said on a Jan. 30 earnings call: “While they still have a lot of work to do, they appear to be on the right path and we feel more optimistic.”

Boeing’s Ortberg said at the Barclays conference on Thursday that he doesn’t see any supply chain issues that would prevent the manufacturer from increasing production of its best-selling cash cow 737 Max aircraft to 38 per month in the coming months.

Robinhood says SEC dismisses investigation into crypto sector, latest sign of deregulation

The SEC is dropping its investigation into Robinhood’s crypto unit, the company revealed on Monday.

Robinhood said it received a letter from the SEC’s enforcement division on Friday detailing that the agency had closed its investigation into the cryptocurrency business and had no intention of taking enforcement action. Three days ago, Coinbase also announced that the SEC had agreed to end its enforcement case against it.

Robinhood shares initially rose on the news, but ultimately closed down 3.2% as the stock market retreated from its highs of the day.

In May 2024, Robinhood received a notice warning that its crypto unit could be charged for securities violations after the company received subpoenas for its cryptocurrency listings, custody, and platform operations — despite “our good faith attempts to work with the SEC to obtain regulatory clarity over the years, including our well-known ‘come in and register’ attempts,” Dan Gallagher, the company’s chief legal, compliance and corporate affairs officer, said at the time.

“Robinhood Crypto has always respected federal securities laws and would never allow securities trading,” he said in a statement on Monday. “We appreciate the formal closure of this investigation, and we are pleased to see the SEC return to the rule of law and commitment to fairness.”

A spokesperson for the SEC declined to comment for this story.

The SEC’s dismissal of the Robinhood and Coinbase lawsuits is an early sign of regulatory changes to the crypto industry that President Trump promised during his campaign. Despite the surge in Bitcoin prices, many crypto businesses saw it as a low point under the previous administration due to the SEC’s notoriously aggressive enforcement approach to cryptocurrencies under then-Chairman Gary Gensler, rather than clear operating rules.

Bitcoin prices rose to $100,000 for the first time, and nearly half of Robinhood’s $672 million in fourth-quarter trading revenue came from a 700% increase in revenue related to cryptocurrency trading, as the Trump administration is expected to introduce more favorable policies.

So far in 2025, Robinhood shares have risen 34%.
