GE Infrastructure

Sales: $57.9 billion

GE's Infrastructure division is on solid ground. The company's biggest segment, which pulled in more than one-third of overall revenues last year, makes everything from wind turbines to oil drilling equipment. With broad exposure to infrastructure-hungry emerging markets, the division saw earnings rise 24% to $3.2 billion in the second quarter and just unveiled an efficient propeller-driven engine (BusinessWeek.com, 7/14/08) for airlines struggling with soaring fuel prices. GE's core infrastructure bulwark will drive its earnings for a very long time.
