As with Quanta Services, investors see significant electricity demand growth led by AI data centers, in addition to other drivers. Led by increasing demand for gas turbines, earnings expectations continue to trend higher as GE Vernova’s backlog already stretches into the next decade.

We see significant opportunities for this market leader to support power demand growth.”
