GE Vernova
GE Vernova's revenue rose 9.0% to $38.1 billion in fiscal 2025. Its operating margin was 3.6%, up from 1.4% a year earlier. Free cash flow was $3.7 billion, up 118.2%. It paid out $3.6 billion in dividends and buybacks, 97% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 0.7%.
Operating margin is operating income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on equity is net income as a share of shareholders' equity. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What GE Vernova does
GE Vernova makes and services equipment that generates, moves and manages electric power. Its customers include utilities, independent power producers, developers, governments and industrial companies around the world. It says the machines it has installed generate approximately 25% of the world's electricity. It was spun off from General Electric, now GE Aerospace, on April 2, 2024.
It reports three segments. Power makes gas and steam turbines and sells nuclear technology, hydropower solutions and the service of that equipment. Wind makes onshore and offshore wind turbines and blades. Electrification supplies equipment and software to transmit, distribute, convert and store electricity. Servicing equipment it has already installed is a large part of its strategy. At the end of 2025 it had approximately $94.4 billion in remaining performance obligations, which is its measure of backlog: firm customer orders for equipment and services not yet delivered.
Key rivals named in the 10-K include Siemens Energy and Mitsubishi Power in Power, Vestas and Siemens-Gamesa in Wind, and Hitachi Energy and ABB in Electrification. The company had approximately 75,000 employees, about 24,000 of them in Europe and 21,000 in the United States.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Quality problems in its machines that could lead to warranty claims, delays and damage to its reputation.
- Supply chain and shipping disruptions, including limited sources for some chips and critical materials.
- Pressure on project costs and schedules at offshore wind, including the U.S. pause on offshore wind leases.
- Factory disruptions or capacity limits that could delay deliveries as it expands production.
- Strong competition across its power, wind and grid businesses.

Valuation
Two ways to value GE Vernova yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from GE Vernova's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from GE Vernova's fiscal 2025 free cash flow of $3.7B, net cash of $8.5B at December 31, 2025 and 276 million diluted shares, from its filings. The scenarios are fitted to GE Vernova: the base scenario's growth in years 1 to 5 is its revenue growth over the last 3 years, 8.7% a year; the cautious and optimistic ones are lower and higher, and growth in years 6 to 10 is halfway to the long-run rate. The base scenario's discount rate is 10%: 9% for a business of moderate risk (Heavy Electrical Equipment), plus 1 point for unsteady results (a loss in fiscal 2023); the cautious and optimistic ones use a point more and a point less. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from GE Vernova's earnings per share of $34.83 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 24.6×, the middle of GE Vernova's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (GE Vernova's own P/E today) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 11%, 10% and 9%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

Piotroski F-score
The F-score counts how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency a company passed in a year (Piotroski, 2000). The more tests passed, the stronger the year: 8 or 9 is strong, 0 to 2 weak. Companies that report no gross profit are scored on the other eight.
