The company faces a significant loss from a failed investment in United Site Services, part of a continuation vehicle strategy, contributing to a $1.4 billion combined loss with other firms. This has occurred alongside a 16.6% stock decline year-to-date. However, the firm is actively pursuing growth, reportedly nearing a deal to acquire MacLean Power Systems for over $4 billion. Recent stock performance is mixed, with a 4.5% weekly gain but longer-term declines, though its five-year return remains strong at 179.6%.
