GE Healthcare Technologies, Inc., stylized GE HealthCare, is an American health technology company based in Chicago, Illinois. It operates four divisions: Medical imaging, which includes molecular imaging, computed tomography, magnetic resonance, women’s health screening and X-ray systems; Ultrasound; Patient Care Solutions, which is focused on remote patient monitoring, anesthesia and respiratory care, diagnostic cardiology, and infant care; and Pharmaceutical Diagnostics, which manufactures contrast agents and radiopharmaceuticals.

Separated from General Electric in 2023, the company sells the imaging equipment that hospitals plan capital budgets around: MRI, CT, ultrasound, and the contrast agents used with them. Scanners are sold once and then serviced for a decade, so the installed base generates maintenance and software revenue long after the sale. Hospital capital spending cycles, not patient volumes, set order rates. Employees held General Electric awards that converted at separation, an event that resets both cost basis and holding period. Headquarters are in Chicago.

Equity comp at GE HealthCare
- GE HealthCare uses a modified single trigger structure. If an acquirer assumes, continues, or substitutes your outstanding RSUs, options, and PSUs in a merger, they keep vesting on the normal schedule, and accelerated vesting only happens if you are then let go without cause or resign for good reason (a true double trigger). But if the acquirer does not assume or replace your awards, everything vests immediately and fully at the deal close, with no termination required. Non-employee director RSUs are a separate case: they vest at the earlier of the next annual meeting, a change in control, or the director's death or disability, regardless of termination.
- RSUs use double-trigger vesting. Two things must both happen before the shares are yours: (1) the normal time-based vesting completes, and (2) the company has a liquidity event (an IPO or an acquisition). Until both happen, you do not yet own the shares and you do not owe tax on them.

A protective put caps your downside on the GEHC position at a chosen floor; a zero-cost collar pays for that floor by capping the upside. This calculator prices both structures off the current GEHC option chain, with annual cost, max loss, and tax-treatment notes.
Example: a 5,000-share GEHC position at $64.29 is worth $321,450. A 1-year 30%-OTM put on that position typically runs 2-4% of position value per year (about $6,429 to $12,858) before any premium offset from a short call. The calculator prices both structures off GEHC's current option chain so you see the actual cost for your chosen floor, tenor, and cap.

GE HealthCare equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge GEHC stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and GEHC's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current GEHC option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does GE HealthCare grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at GE HealthCare typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do GE HealthCare RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- Yes. GE HealthCare restricted stock units (RSUs) vest only when two things both happen: the time-based schedule completes, and the company has a liquidity event such as an initial public offering (IPO) or an acquisition. Until both occur you do not own the shares and owe no tax on them.
