Um, GE is currently at $241.09. In your reckoning, when did it "collapse for good"?

That "GE" is the former GE Aviation, and a small remnant of the multinational conglomerate it once was. It was split in three at the end of its long collapse.

Stock price is not market capitalization.

30-Aug-2000 GE was $580.94 billion

It's never gotten above around half that valuation since.

Most key divisions were sold off. You can get "GE" label appliances, but it is a Chinese company. Plastics, which invented Lexan, was sold to Sabic. On and on. It is simply not the company it was and will take decades, if ever for it to become that again.

30-July-2020 = $53.13 billion

Since then, the remaining aerospace division has recovered to $257B, but it is a different business.
