On June 12, GE Vernova rose 3.32% in regular trading, trading at $933.0/share, with turnover of $365 million. The stock extended its recovery momentum for a second consecutive session following a period of sustained selling pressure.
On the news front, the company recently announced a significant expansion of its stock buyback program from $6 billion to $10 billion, while simultaneously doubling its dividend to $0.50 per share. This aggressive capital return plan has effectively bolstered market confidence and offset prior bearish sentiment triggered by CEO Scott Strazik's cautious remarks at the Bernstein Annual Strategic Conference regarding AI data center project timelines. Strazik had previously noted growing resistance from U.S. states toward high-energy-consumption data centers and highlighted difficulties in converting planned projects into actual construction due to grid approval bottlenecks and local policy hurdles.
The stock had declined significantly from late May through early June on those concerns. The $10 billion buyback expansion and doubled dividend have provided a clear technical floor, enabling a sustained recovery. GE Vernova is a global leader in the power industry, offering generation, transmission, and storage products and services, having been spun off from General Electric in April 2024.
