General Electric Co. warned that its business would be pressured by supply-chain disruptions this year after reporting strong quarterly growth for its jet-engine unit as commercial air traffic recovers from a pandemic-fueled decline.
The Boston conglomerate said Tuesday that its full-year results were on track to come in at the low end of predictions it issued in January.

For 2022, GE GE 0.91% had projected high-single-digit revenue growth, earnings of $2.80 to $3.50 a share and free cash flow of $5.5 billion to $6.5 billion
GE shares slipped 4% in early Tuesday morning trading.
