GE Vernova to Acquire Alteia, Boosting AI Muscle in GridOS Platform

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is one of the best multibagger stocks according to hedge funds. On July 21, 2025, GE Vernova announced it would acquire France-based AI specialist Alteia SAS, which provides visual‑intelligence software used by utility companies to inspect and monitor grid infrastructure.

The acquisition, expected to close on August 1, will integrate Alteia’s computer-vision algorithms into GE Vernova’s GridOS Visual Intelligence platform, enhancing real-time operational insights and predictive maintenance capabilities.

This move underlines GE Vernova’s strategic shift toward bolstering its electrification software business, a segment that has been expanding at a mid-single-digit rate. Analysts from RBC Capital Markets noted the acquisition aligns with increasing AI-driven demand from utilities seeking smarter grid operations amid surging power loads, including from AI and cryptocurrency data centers.

By adding visual data analysis to its existing operational systems, GE Vernova aims to offer a more comprehensive suite of AI-enabled tools to utilities worldwide, potentially accelerating the adoption of GridOS among customers looking to cut operations costs and prevent outages.

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV), founded in 2024 via a GE spin-off and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, operates across Power, Wind, and Electrification, including grid software and infrastructure.
