Why It's a Great Time to Buy GE HealthCare Stock
GE HealthCare Technologies (NASDAQ: GEHC) has had a great run since its spinoff from General Electric in January. But the recent announcement of a 25 million share offering has caused the stock to dip in price. That could be an excellent buying opportunity for investors. Let's see why.

It's expected that GE would look to liquidate its position at the right price to reduce its debt load, and that could lead to a stock overhang that needs to clear.
On June 5, GE HealthCare announced a secondary placing of 25 million shares from GE's 90.3 million shares. As noted in the GE HealthCare release:
