GE Vernova (GEV) was in the case of a wonderful round, as its shares increased by 206 % during the past year. This increase comes at a time when the company benefits from increasing the demand for electricity led by the construction of data centers to support artificial intelligence (AI), industrial growth, global transition to clean energy, transport electricity, and widespread payment to network update. These factors have strengthened the demand for energy equipment and services in GE Vernova, which greatly enhances its accumulated path and the overall growth path.
Strong demand is translation into strong business victories. In the first quarter of 2025, GE Vernova received $ 10.2 billion of requests, which represents an 8 % increase on an annual basis. This is about 1.3 times the company’s revenue for a quarter. The company also translates these requests into profits and cash flow. The modified EBITDA margins expand, and the free cash flow improves 1.6 billion dollars on an annual basis in the first quarter thanks to the best working capital management and strong payments.

The momentum is built across both the equipment and services sectors. In the first quarter, the company has grown its accumulated equipment by $ 2.4 billion and the accumulation of services by billions of dollars. It is worth noting that the main growth driver is the Ge Vernova Services Company, which now constitute more than 60 % of a total of $ 123 billion. These high -end -marginal service contracts, which include long -term maintenance promotions and agreements, provide strong revenue and reliable cash flow. The increasing use of the installed GE Vernova base is also to create more service opportunities, which supports its long -term growth.
The demand for gas power works is still strong. GE Vernova currently has 50 GB of gas turbine under nodes or reserved and expects to charge more than 10 GB of equipment this year. The administration aims to secure contracts for more than twice this amount by the end of the year, and it may end 2025 with more than 60 GB of gas energy obligations. It is expected that the second half of the year is stronger, with a mixture higher than the orders of the shared cycle, which usually carries a greater value in the dollar.
If we look further, the requests for requests for the year 2026 and 2027 are almost full, with the already formation of 2028. GE Vernova even started signing agreements extending to the end of the contract, which is a reflection of strong demand.
The company also makes a great progress in nuclear energy. One of her main customers has secured a license to build the first small normative reactor in North America (SMR). This landmark raises additional interest in American utilities from American utilities and high -tech companies, with ongoing discussions to bring the first SMR in the United States of America in 2030. Promises to the current nuclear facilities are gaining momentum, which extends to plant life and ability, which in turn leads to high service orders per month.
Electrical, in the meantime, appears as a business piece in the fastest growing gernova. The accumulation in this sector increased by $ 2 billion in succession in the first quarter, which represents an increase of 10 % of the end levels of the year. The demand for transformers, switches and relevant infrastructure is strong, especially in North America and Asia.
Looking at the future, the Ge Vernova momentum is expected to continue, and it is fed by the strong demand in the energy and electricity sectors. In power, margin growth and expansion will be expanded by the power of invading energy, with the support of high demand for data center related to data and capacity investments. Services, a major engine for revenue and cash flow, are also preparing for great growth, with increasing orders linked to an increasing installed base.
In electricity, the demand accelerates where customers enhance network investments. The sector provides the main critical infrastructure of the network. A strong accumulation and a strong flow of work for continuous future growth.
Analysts are optimistic about the GE Vernova track, where GEV shares get a “strong” purchase consensus. Moreover, the highest target price of GEV is $ 702, indicating about 34 % of the upward trend of current levels.

The GEV arrow gathering increased its evaluation, which is a caution. However, with strong basics, the accumulation of increasing services and high passion, strong demand across the energy and electricity sectors, and the improvement of margins, it seems that Ge Vernova is in a good position for continuous growth.
