GE Vernova buys Trench Group for $9B, doubles buyback to $20B as backlog hits $197B

GE Vernova agreed to buy Trench Group for $9 billion, the power equipment maker said on its third-quarter earnings call on October 28, 2026. The deal brings in-house the making of substation parts such as insulation bushings and coils for grid stability. Total order backlog grew to $197 billion. Gas power segment margins reached 21.4% of EBITDA, helped by the first 5 gigawatts of gas equipment shipments at higher prices. The company also doubled its share buyback programme from $10 billion to $20 billion. It holds $17 billion in cash and will fund the acquisition with a mix of debt and cash. Chief executive officer Scott Strazik said the company is "still in the early stages of this electricity investment super cycle.

GE Vernova to buy Trench Group from Triton Partners for $9B

GE Vernova will buy high-voltage grid equipment maker Trench Group from investment firm Triton Partners in a $9 billion deal, the power equipment maker said on Wednesday. It aims to expand its electrification business and tap surging investment in power grids. The acquisition will add manufacturing capacity and widen GE Vernova's reach across North America, Europe, and Asia. It also gives the company access to Trench's backlog and framework agreements worth about $5 billion. GE Vernova expects to pay half in cash and half in debt, and to close the deal in late 2027. Separately, it raised its full-year revenue forecast for a third consecutive time, to $46.5 billion to $47.5 billion from $45.5 billion to $46.5 billion.

Venture Global's 16 gas power units deal ties GE Vernova deeper into AI data centre power

Venture Global has signed multi-year frame agreements with GE Vernova and Baker Hughes for up to 16 new gas-fired power island units, each rated at 720MW, plus grid equipment. The units will supply behind-the-meter power for its LNG facilities and potential AI data centres without drawing on public grids. The deal ties GE Vernova's gas turbines and grid hardware to privately controlled industrial networks rather than regulated utilities. It deepens the company's exposure to energy-hungry AI computing. GE Vernova expects 125GW under contract by 2026. Risks include weaker European demand, wind losses, tariffs, restructuring costs, and project delays. Analysts' bullish case sees 2029 revenue of $64.7 billion and earnings of $10.7 billion. A more cautious view puts them at $57.8 billion and $6.3 billion.
