GE Vernova stock (GEV) rises nearly 4% to kick off 2026 — what traders watch next
GE Vernova shares rose 3.8% to $679.55 Friday, outperforming the S&P 500 in the first U.S. trading session of 2026. No new company news drove the move; the stock has rallied since December after GE Vernova raised its outlook, expanded buybacks, and doubled its dividend. Investors await U.S. jobs and inflation data next week. The company’s next quarterly results are due later this month.
