GE Vernova's Stock Performance and Future Outlook
General Electric spun off its energy division as GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) on April 2, 2024. The stock opened at $142.25 per share but surged to a record high of $1,174.86 by June 30, 2026, and currently trades around $1,000 per share. GE Vernova operates in three segments: Power (gas/steam turbines), Electrification (grid modernization products), and Wind (turbines). Strong demand from the AI-driven energy market has driven significant growth in its Power and Electrification divisions. Since 2024, organic order growth for these two segments has been robust—99% year-over-year for Power and 76% for Electrification. The Wind segment underperformed due to supply chain issues but is being scaled back. GE Vernova's backlog reached $176.3 billion by mid-2026, driven largely by demand for gas turbines and grid technologies. Analysts project revenue growth at a 17% CAGR from 2025–2028 with adjusted EBITDA expected to grow at 60%. If GE Vernova continues this momentum through the early 2030s, its stock could more than triple over five years if it trades at 25 times estimated EBITDA.
