GE Vernova reports strong third quarter 2026 financial performance, raises 2026 guidance, and increases share repurchase authorization

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., (October 28, 2026) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV), a unique industry leader enabling the world to electrify to thrive and decarbonize, today reported financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2026.

“We delivered strong financial results in the third quarter as demand for electricity infrastructure increases around the world. We now expect our backlog to exceed $200 billion in the fourth quarter, with improved margins, and to exit 2026 with at least 130 GW of gas equipment under contract. Given our performance and confidence in our trajectory, we are raising our 2026 financial guidance,” said GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik. “We continue to innovate and develop new solutions for utility and data center customers to meet growing demand, including electrification technologies that support integration and resiliency. Our opportunity to create value is accelerating and I’m proud of how our team is executing with discipline and focus.”

"We delivered another strong quarter with robust orders and revenue growth, margin expansion, and significant free cash flow generation. Our backlog continues to expand driven by equipment growth at Power and Electrification, at improved margins from favorable price and disciplined underwriting, and services growth at Power,” said GE Vernova CFO Ken Parks. “We ended the quarter with a cash balance of approximately $17 billion, up $4 billion sequentially, increasing our confidence in making high-growth, accretive investments and returning cash to shareholders through our dividend and increased share repurchase program. Based on our strong financial performance, we are raising our guidance for 2026 revenue, adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow.”
