Nextpower Soars 15% as Jefferies Names It a Franchise Pick Over GE Vernova

Nextpower (NXT) rose 15% after Jefferies added it to its Franchise Pick list, replacing GE Vernova (GEV). The company raised its fiscal 2027 guidance, but three firms cut their price targets. Nextpower's forward multiple is lower than GE Vernova's, making it a more attractive buy. However, margins may be pressured in the second half due to higher costs.
