GE Vernova (GEV)
Grid equipment + power generation (GE Vernova) — transformers, turbines, grid for the AI buildout
AI exposure 19% — derived from reported segment revenue, not asserted.
Where it sits
Physical Infrastructure → Power & Electrical Equipment · figures rebased to Q2 2026, reported 2026-07-22
No business is a majority here. Gas/nuclear/steam power generation equipment + services is 49% of revenue, ahead of Grid Infrastructure Equipment at 26% — placement rule 2 puts the primary with the largest business, so Power & Electrical Equipment. The rest is tagged separately: Grid Infrastructure Equipment at 26%; Renewable Energy at 25%.
Also tagged: secondary in Physical Infrastructure → Grid Infrastructure Equipment; secondary in Energy Supply & Critical Minerals → Renewable Energy.
Reported segments
- Power (gas/nuclear/hydro turbines + services) — 49% of revenue
- Electrification (grid equipment) — 26% of revenue
- Wind — 25% of revenue
Clean 3-segment disclosure. Primary B2 Power (49%, gas turbines for data-center power). Electrification (26%, grid — fastest-growing, data-center-driven). Wind (25%, renewable). All Tier A — fully disclosed.
How the 19% is built
- Power (gas/nuclear/hydro turbines + services) — 49% of revenue × 20% AI-driven (disclosed). Strazik on the Q2 2026 call: roughly 80% of the gas capacity under contract (116 GW at Q2, up from 100 GW) is traditional utility, IPP and industrial customers, with the remaining ~20% explicitly tied to data-center load. Cut from a 30% estimate. Applied as a forward proxy — current Power revenue is still…
- Electrification (grid equipment) — 26% of revenue × 37% AI-driven (disclosed). Data-center orders exceeded $5B YTD 2026 (more than double the full 2025 total), concentrated in Electrification, against H1 Electrification orders of ~$13.4B (Q1 $7.1B + Q2 $6.3B) = ~37%; the Q1 disclosure alone put data-center Electrification orders at $2.4B of $7.1B (34%). Cut from a 40% estimate
- Wind — 25% of revenue × 0% AI-driven (estimate). No AI linkage; the segment lost $275M of EBITDA in Q2 2026
Investment read
Moat. The durable asset is the installed gas fleet and its captive aftermarket, plus scale in grid equipment — not the order book. 116 GW of turbines under contract rising toward 125 GW by year-end, with more than half of 2031 production capacity already sold, gives visibility; but Siemens Energy and Mitsubishi Power contest the same demand and Hitachi Energy leads transformers and HVDC.
Bottleneck / pricing power. Real pricing power while lead times are stretched — customers pre-funded $6.4B of down-payments behind $5.11B of Q2 free cash flow — but it is capacity-driven rather than structural. Margin, not demand, is the binding constraint: Q2 2026 EBIT of $653M missed consensus by 33% on gas production-ramp costs and wind losses.
Role in the AI stack. The grid + power-generation equipment layer — transformers + turbines.
