New York, January 8, 2026, 12:41 (EST) — Regular session
GE Vernova Inc. shares fell 5.3% to $627.44 in midday trading on Thursday, extending a pullback that began a session earlier. The stock dropped 3.5% on Wednesday. MarketBeat
The move matters because GE Vernova has become a crowded way to play rising electricity demand, including from data centers, and the next company update is close. GE Vernova said it will report fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results on Jan. 28, with a webcast at 7:30 a.m. ET. GE Vernova
The selling hit other electrification and power-infrastructure names, too, as investors trimmed exposure across the group. Vertiv fell 6.3%, while Eaton slipped 1.2% and Quanta Services dropped 3.4%.

The stock’s run-up has been fueled by expectations that GE Vernova’s gas turbine and grid businesses can ride a multiyear buildout. In December, the company forecast 2026 revenue of $41 billion to $42 billion and projected free cash flow — cash left after operating costs and capital spending — of $4.5 billion to $5.0 billion, while boosting its share repurchase plan.

At an investor update last month, William Blair analyst Jed Dorsheimer said the event “fired on all cylinders” and pointed to tight turbine supply, with production slots sold out through 2028, according to a Reuters report. Reuters
But the flip side is that high expectations leave less room for stumbles, especially if order timing, margins or cash conversion disappoint. GE Vernova has also flagged supply-chain sensitivities: CEO Scott Strazik said the company was working with the U.S. government to build yttrium stockpiles after China’s export curbs tightened supply of the rare earth used across energy and other industries.

GE Vernova has traded between $252.25 and $731.00 over the past 52 weeks, putting the stock roughly 14% below that peak even after last month’s surge. MarketBeat
Investors now turn to Jan. 28 for updated 2026 expectations and signs on turbine deliveries and grid demand, with management set to speak on the company’s earnings webcast that morning. GE Vernova
