GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is one of the best young stocks to buy and hold for the next decade. On April 29, GE Vernova secured an order from Middle Delta Electricity Production Company/MDEPC to modernize the Banha and Nubaria power plants in Egypt. The project, which was booked in Q1 2026, aims to improve operating efficiency and reinforce energy security over an anticipated three-year period.

The scope includes Advanced Gas Path/AGP upgrades for two gas turbines at the Banha facility and long-term services agreements for both sites lasting 15 and 8 years, respectively.
