CAMBRIDGE, Mass., (July 22, 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 second quarter ending June 30, 2026.

“We delivered strong financial results in the second quarter as global demand for our products and solutions continues to grow. With a backlog of $176 billion, continued revenue growth and margin expansion, and significant free cash flow generation, GE Vernova’s momentum is building, and we are raising our 2026 financial guidance,” said GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik. “We now expect to have at least 125 GW of gas equipment under contract by year-end 2026. To meet this demand, we remain on track to deliver 20 GW of annual gas turbine output in the third quarter of 2026, with 24 GW in 2028, and we are implementing actions to produce 30 GW in 2030. We are also seeing continued demand growth in Electrification, with data center orders reaching over $5 billion year-to-date, more than double our 2025 total. I am proud of how our team is executing with discipline, and I am confident there is substantial value creation ahead.”

"We had a strong first half of 2026 as we executed our financial strategy. Our backlog continued to expand driven by equipment growth at Power and Electrification, with healthy margins from favorable price and disciplined underwriting, and services growth at Power,” said GE Vernova CFO Ken Parks. “Given our significant free cash flow generation, we ended the quarter with a cash balance of $13.1 billion, up $4.3 billion in the year, even as we returned more capital to shareholders so far this year than in the full year of 2025 through our share repurchase actions and quarterly dividend payment. Based on our strong financial performance, we have increased our full year expectations for revenue and free cash flow.”
