YESTERDAY’S TOP TRADE IDEA, TODAY

This story wasn’t published too long ago — on 10/22/2024. But in the two months since then, GE Vernova (GEV) has gone supernova, rising as much as the S&P 500 did all year: 24%. The stock’s total YTD gain clocked in at 143%, as of Friday, December 20.
Can Vernova Go Supernova?
How High Can It Go?
Could GE Vernova (GEV) go supernova? Deutsche Bank seems to think so. It initiated coverage of the electrical services company at a Buy rating and a $354 price target. For context, the stock closed at $276.42 today.
The stock’s off to a good start. It has almost doubled in value since spinning off from General Electric (GE) in April. But most analysts covering it think it has even further to run, rating it a Buy or Strong Buy.
Electrical Surges
Analysts believe that GE Vernova’s continued growth will be fueled by its investments in power-generating assets as electricity demand continues to increase, thanks to AI data centers.
Nicole DeBlase, a Deutsche Bank analyst, believes that GEV can be an industry leader in terms of revenue and earnings growth. AI-powered demand could drive both revenue and margin expansion for its electrification business.
Its wind turbine business is projecting long-term growth as well. Wind energy is expected to account for 25% more of worldwide electricity generation by 2040.
Multifaceted Momentum
GEV’s gas power segment is also shaping up to be a tailwind for the stock. DeBlase said demand for gas turbines is rising as existing electrical grids become over-stressed, which has resulted in a spike in orders.
Now the company is increasing its heavy-duty gas-turbine manufacturing to meet demand. As more customers utilize these products, service orders have been increasing as well.
In other words, GEV has momentum in multiple arms of its business. It makes sense that the stock is surging, but according to analysts, its strong run may be long from done.
