Company News
GE Vernova, General Electric's former energy division spun off in 2024, is positioned to benefit from surging power demands at AI data centres. The company operates three segments: Power (55% of 2025 orders), Electrification (33%), and Wind (13%), providing turbines, transformers, and grid services. Orders grew 24% organically in the first half of 2026, driven by Power and Electrification segments. By Q2 2026, GE Vernova's backlog reached $176.3 billion — 4.6 times its 2025 revenue of $38.1 billion. The company expects 2026 revenue to grow 20-22%, accelerating from 9% growth in 2025 and 5% in 2024. Fortune Business Insights projects the global AI in power utilities market could expand at a 19.3% compound annual growth rate from 2026 to 2034.
Four major engineering firms have signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on building and deploying small modular reactors (SMRs) in Europe. GE Vernova, Hitachi, Samsung C&T, and Poland-based SGE will work together on market development and commercial opportunities for the BWRX-300, an SMR developed by GE Vernova and Hitachi subsidiaries. The agreement was signed during the Atlantic Council Nuclear Energy Policy Summit at the UN General Assembly in New York. SMRs are smaller-scale, plug-and-play nuclear generators that are cheaper and quicker to construct than traditional nuclear plants. They use low-enriched uranium that can be sourced entirely from western enrichment providers. The initiative has government backing from the US, Japan, and South Korea, supported by a trilateral agreement signed at the recent NATO summit.
GE Vernova shares have fallen 20.8% from their 52-week high of $1,195.94, closing at $946.22 on 21 September. Despite the pullback, the stock remains up 47% over the past year. The company reported strong second-quarter results, with orders of $24.2 billion, up 88% organically year-on-year. Revenue reached $11.1 billion, up 22%, whilst net income for the first six months totalled $5.3 billion, compared with $756 million in the prior-year period. GE Vernova is positioned to benefit from surging power demand driven by artificial intelligence data centres. The company also has a nuclear energy division developing small modular reactors through a joint venture with Hitachi, with commercial operation expected by the end of 2030. The company faces challenges including a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 38.1 and declining wind division sales.
GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik announced on 16 September that the company's backlog could reach $200 billion in early 2027, earlier than Wall Street expected. The backlog stood at $167 billion at the end of Q2 2026, up from $176 billion the previous quarter. The power equipment manufacturer has seen strong demand driven by AI data centres. Data centre-related orders exceeded $5 billion in the first half of this year, more than double 2025's total. GE Vernova's Q2 revenue grew 22% year-on-year to $11.1 billion. Free cash flow reached $5.1 billion, surpassing its full-year 2025 level. The company raised its 2026 revenue forecast to $45.5 billion-$46.5 billion. However, the Wind business segment posted losses of $275 million, widening 66% year-on-year.
US Treasury yields near 4.79% reflect strong corporate borrowing for AI investments rather than economic weakness, according to analysts Joel Litman and Rob Spivey. They argue that context matters more than absolute rate levels. Companies borrowing at 5% to fund projects returning 30-40% benefit from current rates, whilst those earning less than borrowing costs face pressure. The analysts note that AI-related corporate debt issuance reached roughly $1.5 trillion this year, driving yields higher. Alphabet posted its first negative free cash flow since 2004, burning $5.9 billion in Q2 as capital expenditure hit $44.9 billion. Amazon swung to negative $7.6 billion on a trailing basis. However, negative cash flow can signal productive investment rather than distress, the analysts suggest.
