Jefferies swaps GE Vernova for Nextpower as a Franchise Pick

Nextpower shares rose 15.7% after Jefferies added the company to its Franchise Pick list and removed GE Vernova. Jefferies analyst Julien Dumoulin-Smith made the change, according to the reported account. The move followed Nextpower's recent earnings report and higher fiscal 2027 guidance.

The change gives Nextpower a positive broker-list catalyst while removing that designation from GE Vernova. The stock move reflects a shift in Jefferies' preferred exposure between the two companies.
