GE Vernova and Quanta Services poised to weather market crash with strong backlogs and AI-driven growth

GE Vernova and Quanta Services are positioned as resilient stocks that could withstand market volatility, according to a new analysis. Both companies are benefiting from surging demand for electrical infrastructure driven by AI and data centre expansion. GE Vernova, spun off from General Electric in 2024, has seen its stock rise more than sixfold since debut. The company's backlog expanded 37% year over year to $176.3 billion at the end of Q2 2026, nearly four times its projected annual revenue of $46.2 billion. Quanta Services, an energy infrastructure builder, reported a backlog of $53.4 billion in Q2 2026, up 49% year over year. The company's revenue is projected to grow 39% in 2026. Analysts expect GE Vernova's revenue and adjusted EBITDA to grow at compound annual growth rates of 17% and 60% respectively from 2025 to 2028.

GE Vernova hires Rivian CFO Claire McDonough, leaving EV maker without clear successor

GE Vernova has hired Claire McDonough as CFO, effective 1 January, leaving electric vehicle maker Rivian to find her successor. McDonough joined Rivian in January 2021 and helped take the company public through a $13.7 billion IPO that November. She also negotiated Rivian's technology joint venture with Volkswagen, which agreed to invest up to $5.8 billion. Rivian shares fell more than 6% following the announcement, whilst GE Vernova shares declined about 3%. Analysts cited Rivian's lack of a clear succession plan as a factor weighing on its shares. Derek Mulvey, Rivian's VP of finance, is expected to serve as interim CFO after McDonough's departure. McDonough will join GE Vernova in November, succeeding Kenneth Parks, who is retiring.

SpaceX builds turbine foundry to break AI power bottleneck, cut GE Vernova wait times by 18 months

Elon Musk's SpaceX is building a foundry in Bastrop, Texas, to manufacture blades and vanes for industrial gas turbines, according to The Information. Musk confirmed the move on X, saying in-house casting could accelerate natural gas turbines coming online by up to 18 months. The initiative targets the same supply chain bottleneck GE Vernova has flagged to investors. GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik said the company pushed suppliers to add capacity in 2024, sometimes providing capital for new furnaces. GE is mostly sold out through 2030 and aims to increase annual turbine production from 20 gigawatts this year to 30 GW by decade's end. SpaceX has committed over $2.8 billion to gas turbines over three years to support its Colossus data centres near Memphis. The move addresses growing power demand from AI infrastructure expansion.

GE Vernova and LS Electric form JV to target South Korea's HVDC market

GE Vernova has formed a joint venture with LS Electric to strengthen its position in the high-voltage direct current sector. Announced at the CIGRE 2026 event in Paris, the partnership will focus on South Korea's voltage source converter-based HVDC projects, which are crucial for transmitting renewable energy from the southwestern region to greater Seoul. The venture combines GE Vernova's VSC-HVDC technology with LS Electric's local capabilities and market presence. The companies also plan to pursue HVDC opportunities in other global markets. The move aligns with GE Vernova's strategy to capitalise on growing power infrastructure demand. During Q2, the company's Power orders jumped 135% year-over-year, whilst Electrification revenue grew 68%. However, the joint venture faces execution risks and may take time to generate meaningful revenue.

Cramer backs GE Vernova despite Q2 earnings miss, shares $6.4B in customer deposits

Jim Cramer defended GE Vernova on CNBC, arguing the industrial power generation equipment maker isn't a good short despite broader negativity around the data centre sector. He cited the company's stable nuclear reactor delivery timelines and exposure to AI infrastructure buildout. GE Vernova reported strong Q2 results with $6.4 billion in working capital benefit from customer down payments, pushing free cash flow to $5.1 billion, up 2,532% annually. The company raised its full-year cash flow guidance to $11.5 billion-$12.5 billion from $6.5 billion-$7.5 billion. However, Q2 earnings per share of $2.47 and EBIT of $653 million both missed analyst estimates. Hedge fund interest declined, with 106 out of 1,006 funds holding stakes in Q2, down from 118 out of 1,022 in Q1.
