GE Vernova reports first quarter 2026 financial results and raises 2026 guidance

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., (April 22, 2026) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV), a unique industry leader enabling customers to accelerate the energy transition, today reported financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2026.

“We had a solid start to 2026 as we continue to serve the growing, long-cycle electric power market. Demand is accelerating for our Power and Electrification solutions from a diverse set of customers, with our backlog growing by more than $13 billion quarter-over-quarter,” said GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik. “Reflecting this strength, we now expect to reach at least 110 GW of combined gas turbine backlog and slot reservation agreements by year-end 2026 and are raising our 2026 financial guidance. In the quarter, our Electrification segment booked $2.4 billion in equipment orders to support data centers, more than all of last year. We also completed our acquisition of the remaining fifty percent stake in Prolec GE, a leading grid equipment supplier, strengthening our ability to serve customers and accelerating our growth trajectory. Our team is executing well and remains focused on delivering for the long-term.”

"We delivered significant growth and margin expansion in the first quarter as we executed our financial strategy. With robust equipment orders growth in each segment and continued services strength, our backlog grew to $163 billion, inclusive of Prolec GE,” said GE Vernova CFO Ken Parks. “We maintained a strong investment grade balance sheet, growing our healthy cash balance to $10.2 billion with significant free cash flow generation and proceeds from dispositions, even as we closed the Prolec GE acquisition and returned capital to shareholders. Given our strong results and continued business momentum, we are increasing our guidance for 2026 revenue, adjusted EBITDA margin, and free cash flow.”
