    Question

    GE Vernova gains 4% as Evercore lifts estimates on projected $200B AI power backlog

    Direct answer

    GE Vernova shares rallied nearly 4% after Evercore ISI reiterated its Outperform rating and increased 2027-2028 EPS growth projections by 3-4%, setting a $1,350 price target. The upgrade was anchored by projections that GEV will achieve a $200 billion total order backlog in 2027. The revision highlights sustained demand for gas turbines, grid equipment, and electrification infrastructure necessary to power hyperscale artificial intelligence datacenters.
