GE Vernova (GEV) Downgraded Despite AI Energy Momentum-Here's Why

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is one of the AI Stocks in the Spotlight Today. On July 28, Guggenheim downgraded GE Vernova (GEV) to “Neutral” from Buy and removed the firm’s previous $600 price target. The firm cited the belief that the stock’s valuation “fully reflects even the substantially above-consensus estimates” the firm is now publishing.

 “Valuation is still admittedly attractive if investors are willing to focus on 2029 and beyond, but considering the wait required to get to that outcome, we no longer find GEV attractive from a risk/return standpoint.”

The company reported better-than-expected results for the second quarter and raised full-year guidance. Sales of aeroderivative turbines, used in data centers, increased during the quarter. Moreover, backlog growth suggests potential for production may keep expanding beyond 2028.

However, a formal announcement on capacity expansion is unlikely before late 2026, noted another firm Mizuho.

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is a global energy company and a soaring AI stock driven by the demand for energy to power artificial intelligence technology.
