General Electric has completed its split of the one-time conglomerate into three separate companies, as its aerospace and energy businesses started trading on the New York Stock Exchange as separate entities on Tuesday.

GE has decided on the names it will give to the three publicly companies that it plans to divide itself into.

Paycom Software’s Chad Richison and Advanced Micro Devices’ Lisa Su are among the top paid CEOs in the S&P 500 index.

General Electric narrowed its losses in its third quarter as it trimmed expenses and managed to post an adjusted profit that surprised Wall Street. GE lost $1.19 billion, or 14 cents per share, for the three months ended Sept. 30. Earnings, adjusted for one-time costs and asset impairment costs, were 6 cents per share. For the year to date, it has reduced debt by $11.7 billion, including $8.1 billion in GE Industrial debt and $3.6 billion in GE Capital debt. Quarterly revenue declined to $19.42 billion from $23.36 billion, but still topped the $19.15 billion that analysts predicted.

GE raised its projections for industrial free cash flow Wednesday despite a damaging trade fight and ongoing problems with Boeing's 737 Max. While overall revenue was flat at $23.36 billion, industrial segment organic revenues rose 7%. In July the company anticipated its full-year industrial free cash flow would be negative $1 billion to positive $1 billion. On Wednesday it painted a rosier picture, saying it now expects industrial free cash flow would be flat to $2 billion. The company expects that cash flow to remain in positive territory next year, and that it will accelerate in 2021.
