## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 24.1×** (5-yr avg 47.8×, 3-yr avg 47.8×). GE Vernova Inc. trades at 24.1× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 47.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Industrials median in the September 2026 study was 25.7×. Forward P/E is 35.5×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.16**. A PEG of 0.16 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 5.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 5.5×.
- **Price / book: 21.4×**. The shares trade at 21.4× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 7.0%** (5-yr avg 2.0%). Free cash flow equals 7.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 2.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 4.1%**. The inverse of the P/E: 4.1% of the price is earned each year.

- **Net margin: 12.8%**. 12.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 43.7%**. 43.7% on shareholders' equity is excellent if it is not driven by leverage; sustained above 20% usually signals a competitive advantage.

- **Current ratio: 0.98** (quick 0.98). Current liabilities exceed current assets, so the company depends on ongoing cash generation or refinancing to pay the next year's bills.
