The firm pointed out that while investors recognize the current gas turbine equipment orders can boost earnings from 2028 onward, the market has not fully recognized the significant upside potential from gas power service LTSAs.

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is an energy equipment manufacturing and services company.
