Over about 2 years to 2026-07-31. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.
Based on beta - how much the price swings versus the whole market. Bumpier isn't bad; it just means a rougher ride, which matters more the sooner you might need the money.
Prices move on results, news and the mood of the whole market - no single headline explains a day, and a quiet week is usually just noise, not a signal.
Becoming the dominant provider for global grid modernisation.
Technological shifts making current turbine designs obsolete.
What does GE Vernova do?
Born from the split of the historic General Electric, this company focuses on the 'electrification' of the world, making everything from wind turbines to gas-powered generators. It earns first by selling that heavy-duty equipment, then by charging for the long-term maintenance and software that keep the power flowing. Its path depends on managing the shift to greener energy while keeping its traditional power plants running efficiently.
