GE Vernova (GEV) is back in focus after reporting quarterly results that beat expectations, highlighting strong demand for its gas turbines from AI data centers and new reservation deals that are filling its gas power backlog.

The strong quarterly update and a run of new turbine and grid agreements, from Maxim Power to Xcel Energy, have coincided with sharp momentum. The 30 day share price return is 28.74% and the 1 year total shareholder return is 123.35% from a latest share price of $823.67, suggesting investors are reassessing both growth potential and risk around GE Vernova’s role in supplying power for AI heavy data centers.

If this surge in interest around energy and AI infrastructure has you looking wider, it could be a good time to check out 34 AI infrastructure stocks as another way to spot power related data center plays.

With the stock up sharply and trading only about 1% below the average analyst target, the key question now is simple: Is GE Vernova still mispriced, or are markets already baking in years of future growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 10% Undervalued

GE Vernova’s last close of $823.67 sits just above a widely followed fair value narrative of $714.58. This frames the debate around how much growth is already priced in.

Revenue Growth: GE Vernova is expected to grow its revenue by 13%, contributing to a total revenue of US$77 billion.

Earnings Forecast: Estimated earnings for 2030 are US$4.2 billion, translating into a market capitalization of US$270.06 billion, based on a 64.68x price-to-earnings ratio.

According to lexdrew1, this fair value hinges on a step change in revenue scale, fatter margins, and a premium earnings multiple that would usually sit with pure tech names. If you are curious which assumptions connect today’s share price to that kind of 2030 profile, and how sensitive the valuation is to even small changes in those inputs, the full narrative lays out the entire roadmap behind that $714.58 figure.

Result: Fair Value of $714.58 (ABOUT RIGHT)

However, that story could unravel quickly if AI driven data center demand softens, or if execution slips across its Power, Wind, or Electrification segments.
