GE Vernova: Why I Am Raising My Price Target After Q2

I am reiterating my Strong Buy rating on GE Vernova because Q2 2026 strengthened my view that the AI infrastructure trade is shifting from chips to electricity. The main growth drivers are stronger gas turbine demand, capacity expansion, grid equipment orders, Prolec GE, and accelerating data center demand. My updated price target is $1,864 per share, implying about 88% upside from the current price. The biggest risks are valuation compression, slower backlog conversion, manufacturing execution, and continued Wind losses.
