据WENews 网站11月13日休斯顿报道，美国通用电气（GE）周二表示，该公司将出售其在油田服务提供商贝克休斯中的部分股份，这是该公司筹集现金和偿还债务的最新举措。
通用电气在2017年7月收购了贝克休斯。为了降低其债务并将重点放在其核心业务喷气发动机、发电厂和可再生能源上，通用电气进行了组织和财务改革。
通用电气首席执行官拉里周一表示，该公司将“紧急”出售资产来减少高负债。通用电气股价日前重挫10%，其债务担保成本触及六年高位。
通用电气今年6月曾表示，该公司将在未来两到三年内出售所持贝克休斯的部分股份。作为交易的一部分，贝克休斯将回购通用电气的另一部分股份。通用电气目前持有贝克休斯的62.2%股份。
两家公司在一份声明中称，预计这些交易将使通用电气在贝克休斯的持股比例维持在50%以上。
