GE Vernova

GE Vernova is the electric power equipment and services company spun off from General Electric on April 2, 2024. It reports three segments: Power (gas, nuclear, hydro and steam power; $19,767 million of 2025 revenue), Wind (onshore and offshore turbines and LM Wind Power blades; $9,110 million) and Electrification (grid solutions, power conversion and storage, and software; $9,642 million). 2025 revenue rose 9% to $38,068 million and net income reached $4,884 million, helped by a $2.9 billion benefit mainly from a U.S. tax valuation allowance release. Remaining performance obligations were $150.2 billion at December 31, 2025 and $197 billion at September 30, 2026. In February 2026 it bought the remaining 50% of transformer maker Prolec GE for $5,254 million, booking a $3,992 million pre-tax remeasurement gain. In October 2026 it agreed to buy grid equipment maker Trench Group for about $9.0 billion.

    Revenue grew +8.7% a year over 3 years (strong growth)

    From $29.65B in FY2022 to $38.07B in FY2025. The annualized rate (CAGR) makes it possible to compare growth pace across companies of different sizes.

  • ▲

    Operating margin improved: -9.7% → 3.6%

    How much operating profit is left per $100 of revenue. It moved +13.4 points over 3 years — pricing power, cost control, and product mix all show up here.

  • ▼

    Equity ratio is 17.7% (relatively heavy reliance on debt)

    The share of total assets funded by equity rather than debt. 50%+ is often read as low bankruptcy risk, though the right level varies by industry (real estate and leasing run lower, for instance).

  • ―

    Free cash flow was positive in 3 of 4 years

    Operating cash flow minus capital expenditures: the cash left over after funding the business’s own investment, available for dividends, buybacks, acquisitions, or debt paydown. A negative year can mean heavy investment, or weak core earnings — worth distinguishing.

  • ▲

    ROE averaged 9.3% over 4 years (latest: 47.1%)

    How much profit was generated on shareholders’ equity. Roughly 10%+ is often cited as solid for a U.S. company, though this varies a lot by industry and capital intensity.

Is ROIC above WACC?From SEC data

ROIC (the return on money invested in the business) above WACC (the cost of raising that money) means the company is creating value. WACC is an estimate, so its assumptions can be adjusted below.

ROIC (FY2025)

9.5%

formulaoperating income × (1 − tax rate) ÷ invested capital × 100 *invested capital = interest-bearing debt + total equity (average of beginning/ending)

e.g.$1,388M × (1 − 21%) ÷ $11,506M × 100 = 9.5%

termsOperating income · Effective tax rate · Invested capital · Interest-bearing debt · Total equity

WACC (this site’s estimate)

11.71%

formulacost of equity × equity weight + cost of debt × (1 − tax rate) × debt weight

e.g.Equity weight: $176.16B ÷ ($176.16B + $63M) = 100.0%

e.g.Debt weight: $63M ÷ ($176.16B + $63M) = 0.0%

e.g.WACC: 11.7% × 100.0% + 5.0% × (1 − 21%) × 0.0% = 11.71%

termsCost of equity · Equity weight (E/(D+E)) · Cost of debt · (1 − tax rate) · Debt weight (D/(D+E)) · Market capitalization

How firm is this? With the equity risk premium ±1 point and beta ±0.2, WACC runs 9.6%–14.2% and ROIC − WACC runs −4.7 to −0.1 points. The sign holds across this range. This describes the latest year and does not predict future value creation.

What the price implies (DCF)From SEC data

A company's value can be written as its free cash flow divided by (cost of capital − perpetual growth). Working that backwards from the market's valuation shows how much growth the share price assumed — compared here with the company's actual past growth.

Growth the price implies (price on 2026-11-04)

10.0%

Perpetual FCF growth: g = r − FCF ÷ EV = 11.7% − 1.7%

Past FCF growth (FY2022–FY2025)

—

Not computable (FCF not positive in both years)

Past revenue growth (FY2022–FY2025)

+8.7%

Compound annual rate, 3 years

Inputs (FY2025): free cash flow $3.71B (operating CF − capex); enterprise value $214.2B = market cap $222.99B (latest close, 2026-11-04) + debt $63M − cash and short-term investments $8.85B; r = WACC of 11.7% using this page’s default assumptions (β 1.23, risk-free 5.0%, market premium 5.5%).

Three WACC scenarios

The same calculation under cautious, base and optimistic cost-of-capital assumptions (risk-free rate fixed at the 10-year Treasury yield). Pick one to load it into the sliders below.

Try your own assumptions

V = FCF ÷ (r − g). It starts at the implied growth rate, where the theoretical value equals today’s enterprise value.

Theoretical enterprise value

$218.24B

FCF $3.71B ÷ (11.7% − 10.0%)

Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value

1.02x

Above 1x: these assumptions value the business above the market did

How sensitive the answer is

Theoretical ÷ actual enterprise value for each combination of r and g.

g \ r9.7%10.7%11.7%12.7%13.7%
0%0.18x0.16x0.15x0.14x0.13x
2%0.22x0.20x0.18x0.16x0.15x

6%0.47x0.37x0.30x0.26x0.22x
8%1.02x0.64x0.47x0.37x0.30x

A simplified model for seeing what the market price assumes, not a forecast or a target price. It treats free cash flow as growing at one constant rate forever; the result swings widely with small changes in r and g, and is undefined when g reaches r. Free cash flow here is operating cash flow minus capex, which is after interest — a full DCF of enterprise value would use cash flow before interest. Market cap uses the latest close (2026-11-04) × shares at fiscal year-end; free cash flow and WACC inputs are from the latest fiscal year.

Who holds the sharesFrom SEC dataShow

How much of the stock large institutional investors report owning on SEC Form 13F, how much the directors and executive officers hold (and how much of the vote they control), and roughly how much is left for individual investors. Shown next to beta so the holder mix can be read alongside how much the stock swings.

The description and mitigation for each risk are this site’s summary of the 10-K’s "Risk Factors" section. Impact and likelihood are this site’s own assessment, not the company’s — where the company discloses its own likelihood assessment, that is noted in the summary.

Impact is judged from how large the affected business is relative to total revenue/profit, and from the risk’s track record of moving results in the past. Likelihood is judged from the filing’s wording and the current business environment (already occurring, or recurring). See the rating criteria.
