The Bull case, 20 quarters out

Model as of

Each segment is projected from its own operating driver, rolled up into consolidated cash flow, and discounted back to a fair value per share. The assumptions below are editable — change them and every number on this page moves with them.

BASIS. GE Vernova was spun out of General Electric on 2 April 2024, so it has only nine standalone reported quarters, 2024 Q2 through 2026 Q2, and that is exactly what this model uses. The Form 10 and the first 10-K also carry COMBINED CARVE-OUT financials for the pre-spin years. Those are filed figures, but they are a different basis - allocated corporate cost, no standalone capital structure, no standalone tax - and they are deliberately NOT spliced on here. Our stored revenue series already starts at 2024 Q2 for the same reason, so the model page and the stock page sit on one basis end to end. A nine-quarter history is the correct answer for a two-year-old company; it has not been padded. SEGMENT REALIGNMENT. Effective 1 January 2026 GE Vernova moved certain business units between segments and recast 2025. Every quarter here is recorded AS FIRST REPORTED, one consistent rule applied to nine separate SEC-filed Exhibit 99.1 documents. The effect is measurable where both bases are visible and it is small: 2025 Q1 Power moves $4,423m to $4,449m and Electrification $1,879m to $1,840m; 2025 Q2 Power $4,758m to $4,785m and Electrification $2,201m to $2,162m. Wind is unchanged, consolidated revenue is unchanged, and the largest effect is 2.1% of the smaller segment. No recast exists for the 2024 quarters, so no alternative gives a single underlying basis across the whole series. The basis quarter, all guidance and the entire projection sit on the post-realignment basis. There was no realignment between 2024 and 2025: the 2025 releases reproduce the 2024 figures exactly as first filed. WHAT IS DISCLOSED AND WHAT IS NOT. All 27 segment revenue points are reported figures read from each quarter's own filing. The gas volume path is disclosed too - 20 GW of annual output in 2026, 24 GW in 2028, 30 GW in 2030 - as are the 2026 consolidated and per-segment guidance and the 22%/22%/6% segment margins in the 2028 outlook. The eliminations line is the only DERIVED history, marked estimated on every point: it is reported consolidated revenue minus the three reported segments, and it exists because GE Vernova reports segment revenue including intersegment sales. Everything forward-looking - price drift, margin glides, capex intensity, the 25% tax rate and the exit multiple - is assumed and labelled as such in the controls. WHAT IS NOT SPLIT. Power is not divided into gas equipment, gas services and nuclear, and Electrification is not divided into its product lines. The company discusses all of them in prose and even gives turbine unit counts, but publishes no quarterly revenue for any of them. Splitting on prose would invent history. ONE DELIBERATE DIVERGENCE FROM GUIDANCE. Management guides 2026 Wind segment EBITDA losses of about $400m; this model produces about $(0.8)bn. The guide implies a swing from the basis quarter's (13.6)% margin to roughly +5.5% in two quarters, which a monotone margin glide can only reproduce at a rate that would then overstate Wind for the rest of the horizon. The model is more conservative than management here, by roughly 0.8% of company revenue, and says so rather than tuning it away. NO CONSENSUS IS USED. GE Vernova publishes no adjusted EPS, so its GAAP diluted EPS cannot be compared with the analyst-adjusted consensus carried by data vendors. The gap is obvious one quarter back: for 2026 Q1 the vendor's own reported figure is $1.98 against an actual GAAP $17.44, because GAAP that quarter carried $4.5bn of Prolec GE M&A gains. Pairing those series would invent a surprise, so no consensus figure appears anywhere in this model.

Fair value per share $1,049.79 +10% against $950.49
Terminal-year revenue $81.33B last four projected quarters
Enterprise value $273.17B $31.94B explicit + $241.23B terminal

The order book keeps compounding, the ramp is pulled forward, Power and Electrification reach their 22% margins on schedule and the multiple holds at 22x. The evidence is the rate of change: gas equipment under contract went from 100 GW to 116 GW in a single quarter, the year-end 2026 target was raised from 110 GW to 125 GW in three months, and Electrification data-centre orders passed $5bn in the first half, more than double all of 2025. Fair value $1,049.79, 16.8% above the traded price - this is the only case in the model that justifies the current price, and it needs both the growth and the multiple.

An exit EV/EBITDA multiple on the terminal quarter, discounted at 9.5%. The multiple is by far the most sensitive input in this model: 85.7% of base-case enterprise value sits in the terminal value, so every 1x of exit multiple is worth $31.75 a share. The base case exits at 18x. That is well below the ~24x the tape implies - at $898.53 the market capitalisation is $242.6bn, enterprise value $232.3bn, and running the base case backwards the exit multiple that would justify today's price is 24.1x. It is also below the ~21x the market pays on GE Vernova's own 2028 outlook of $56bn of revenue at a 20% adjusted EBITDA margin. The bear case uses 13x, roughly where diversified electrical equipment trades once a cycle has been delivered; the bull case 22x, which assumes an electrification premium survives to 2030. The whole valuation argument is that range, not the revenue path: revenue is anchored to guidance and lands within 0.5% of it.

Read the other way round: at $950.49 the market is paying 19.6x terminal-year EBITDA, holding every other assumption on this page fixed. That is the number to argue about.

Model revisions

Assumptions are marked to reality as each quarter prints. Every change is appended here, with the fair value the model produced at the time, so the model's own history stays visible.

DateFair value thenNote
2026-09-01 $704.93 Initial model. Nine standalone quarters since the 2 April 2024 spin, no pre-spin carve-out splice. Power on a unit driver anchored to the disclosed 20/24/30 GW gas output ramp; Electrification and Wind on growth drivers calibrated to 2026 segment guidance; a derived eliminations line so the segments reconcile exactly to reported revenue. Base case reproduces FY2026 revenue at $46,226m against guidance of $45.5-$46.5bn.
