GE Vernova's turbines and grid equipment make it a clear winner from the AI data-center power crunch. Q3 equipment sales rose 42%, total revenue 27% and operating income 281% as margins expanded. Grade: A. x.comÂ
Durable demand makes these eight companies attractive at forward earnings multiples below their historical medians. Vistra has long power deals; ASML expects demand above capacity in 2027-28; GE Vernova's turbines are sold out through 2028. Eaton expects data-center deliveries from 2028. Waste Management leads garbage collection; American Tower has $23B in scheduled rent, Linde $64B in commitments, and BWX Technologies an $8.4B backlog backed by Navy demand. GE Vernova's multiple is still high. … Show more
GE Vernova's buybacks look poorly priced relative to its borrowing cost. At $895, repurchases yield about 2.6% on my 2027 EPS estimate of $23.09 and 3.5% on 2028 earnings, below the 3.8% after-tax cost of debt issued in February. The quarter was strong, but this buyback pace is hard to like. x.comÂ
GE Vernova sits at the center of the most capital-intensive buildout in a generation because AI data centers need massive power and it builds the gas turbines that make it. Every new hyperscaler data center is effectively a new order. Its backlog is $150B and already booked, orders rose 71% last quarter, and Q1 2026 free cash flow exceeded all of 2025's. It has zero debt and $8B in cash, doubled the dividend, expanded buybacks to $10B, and targets $44-45B of revenue in 2026 and $56B in 2028. … Show more
GE Vernova is the best-in-class AI-power play heading into earnings, driven by AI data-center power demand and its gas-turbine backlog. The Street wants another full-year guidance raise, and the stock is down about 13% from its $1,196 all-time high. It ranks among the highest-conviction names of the week alongside Alphabet. The only risk is a 67x forward multiple that already prices in a lot. x.comÂ
GE Vernova is not worth owning even after its pullback, because at 45 times forward earnings it looks expensive when Celestica and Bloom Energy offer much better growth at half the multiple. x.com x.comÂ
GE Vernova is winning the power trade because it spans more of the AI data-center power chain than most peers, from gas turbines and grid equipment to power conversion and electrification. Q1 orders rose 71% organically to $18.3B, backlog reached $163B, gas backlog plus slot reservations hit 100 GW, and electrification booked $2.4B of data-center orders, more than all last year. The test now is converting backlog, expanding capacity and protecting margins to justify the rerating. x.comÂ
GE Vernova's AI-driven power demand is compounding faster than its Wind segment can drag on results. Data center orders already exceed $5B, more than double 2025's full-year total, even as headline EPS came in below estimates. The market is fixating on the wrong line. x.comÂ
GE Vernova is a cyclical gas-turbine manufacturer priced as a secular compounder, the basis for a sell rating. Per @StockWorthyApp, the stock fell 8.62% in a day and 9.43% over a week on concerns about an AI development slowdown. x.comÂ
GE Vernova's gas business is strengthening, just days after people were fading the stock. Per a quoted report, it expects gas capacity additions to grow about 50% by year-end, with second-half contract commitments now expected to exceed its 20GW guidance and Q4 tracking above Q3. x.comÂ
