NEW YORK, Jan 23, 2026, 12:30 EST — Regular session
- Shares slipped roughly 0.1% by midday after hitting a new intraday low earlier
- According to an SEC filing, Mavi Zingoni has stepped down as CEO of the Power segment, with Eric Gray stepping in to replace her.
- Investors focus on Jan. 28 results to gauge order flow and margin trends
GE Vernova shares slipped on Friday, continuing a decline that began earlier this week following a leadership shakeup in its Power segment. By 12:30 p.m. EST, the stock had dipped 0.1% to $660.79, after hitting a low of $649.65 earlier in the session.
The executive shuffle comes just days ahead of GE Vernova’s quarterly earnings report, a moment when investors typically push management for updates on demand and project progress. Since the stock is already valued for consistent performance, even minor surprises could trigger a reaction.
Power forms the core of the company’s offer to utilities and major energy consumers, delivering gas, nuclear, hydro, and steam technology along with associated services. The focus on “dispatchable” power—generation that can be activated on demand—has intensified amid grid pressures to handle peak loads and maintain stability. 1
On Wednesday, a filing revealed that Mavi Zingoni stepped down as chief executive of the Power segment, effective Jan. 21. GE Vernova said the departure came under a “mutual agreement” outlining the exit terms. Zingoni will remain as an adviser until June 30. Eric Gray is set to replace her as head of the Power segment while continuing as CEO of Gas Power. 2
GE Vernova will report its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results before markets open on Jan. 28. CEO Scott Strazik and CFO Ken Parks are set to review the numbers during a webcast at 7:30 a.m. ET, the company announced. 3
Gray has held various commercial and operations roles at the company, with GE Vernova noting he brings over 20 years of experience within the business. He stepped into his current Gas Power position in July 2022. 4
GE Vernova made waves this week by signing on as a patron of the World Energy Council. Chief Corporate Officer Roger Martella highlighted the company’s daily commitment to its mission to “electrify” and “decarbonize,” according to the Council’s statement. 5
The stock dropped 2.48% Wednesday, closing at $667.89 and lagging the broader market. That finish put shares roughly 8.6% shy of their 52-week peak reached in December, according to MarketWatch data. 6
Industrial shares slipped on Friday, with the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF retreating 0.4%. GE Aerospace, the former parent company, dropped 0.6%.
The leadership change alone doesn’t settle the question on fundamentals. Investors will be looking closely to see if the switch disrupts the Power unit, especially as the company tries to meet project deadlines and maintain margins. They’ll also watch for any hints from management about changes in order flow.
Coming up on Jan. 28 is the earnings release and webcast. Traders will zero in on any revisions to 2026 forecasts, as well as comments about backlog conversion and pricing pressure.
