GE Vernova, the energy company formed from the breakup of General Electric, raised its revenue outlook for 2026 and 2028 after posting higher profit and revenue in the fourth quarter. The company attributed the increase to continued momentum across its power and electrification businesses, as well as its acquisition of Prolec GE.

Why it matters

GE Vernova's improved financial performance and raised outlook signals the company's ability to capitalize on the growing demand for electric power solutions, a key focus area as the world transitions to renewable energy sources. The acquisition of Prolec GE is also expected to strengthen GE Vernova's position in the power market.

The details

In the fourth quarter, GE Vernova reported a profit of $3.67 billion, up from $484 million a year earlier, with the period including a $2.57 billion benefit for income taxes. Quarterly earnings of $13.39 per share topped analyst estimates of $3.28 per share. Revenue climbed 3.8% to $10.96 billion, ahead of the $10.22 billion that Wall Street had expected. The company's power unit saw a 78% jump in orders, led by a tripling of gas power equipment orders due to higher volumes and pricing. Orders across the wind segment also climbed 55%, despite a decline in revenue. In the electrification division, orders increased 55% from last year, while revenue climbed 36%.

  • GE Vernova posted its fourth-quarter results on January 28, 2026.
  • The company's acquisition of Prolec GE is expected to close next week.
