GE Vernova stock rating reiterated at Outperform by BMO, price target raised

Investing.com - BMO Capital has reiterated its Outperform rating on GE Vernova (NYSE:GEV) while raising its price target to $631.00 from $561.00. The stock, currently trading near its 52-week high of $633.72, has delivered an impressive 287% return over the past year.

The firm cited strong results and order flows as continued proof points of additional positive momentum in the company’s long-term margin opportunity.

BMO noted that management is taking action to reinvest more aggressively to boost productivity, which could potentially drive long-term margins even higher than current projections.

The analyst highlighted that GEV’s current margins are already approaching the company’s "by 2028" outlook, with potentially more improvement to come as equipment margin accretion in the backlog is expected to deliver results in 2026 and beyond.

Despite acknowledging limited implied upside to the new price target following recent stock volatility, which saw shares rise approximately 15% on technical, industry, and macro dynamics, BMO maintains that GE Vernova will outperform in the long term.
