On July 31, GE Vernova Inc. rose 3.05% in pre-market trading, trading at $1009.31 per share, with turnover of $2.5234 million.
On the news front, the company announced plans to invest $166 million in western Pennsylvania, creating more than 700 high-skilled manufacturing jobs statewide. Additionally, as part of its ongoing $138 million expansion initiative, the company expects to add 275 positions by 2028 with further hiring planned through 2030, underscoring its long-term capacity expansion strategy. The investment comes as the company recovers from a post-earnings pullback exceeding 10% following Q2 adjusted EPS of $2.47, which missed market expectations of $3.18 by approximately 22%. Multiple investment banks have raised their target prices — Oppenheimer to $1338, RBC Capital Markets to $1225 while maintaining an Outperform rating, and Mizuho to $949 — reinforcing confidence in the company's fundamentals, including gas turbine orders largely sold out through 2030 and full-year free cash flow guidance raised significantly to $11.5 billion to $12.5 billion.
