67% Upside for GE Vernova? Morgan Stanley Thinks So, and Here’s How
Morgan Stanley maintained a Buy rating and $1,350 price target for GE Vernova (67% upside), citing a backlog nearing $200B and long-term service revenue. The stock is down 31% from its June high due to data-center spending concerns. Analysts have raised 2027 earnings estimates, and the target implies a 58x forward P/E. SoftBank's reassessment of a project has added to investor uncertainty.
