# GE Vernova Inc. (GEV) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Energy. Price $941.95, market value $250.9 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 27.0×** (5-yr avg 47.8×, 3-yr avg 47.8×). GE Vernova Inc. trades at 27.0× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 47.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Energy median in the September 2026 study was 16.8×. Forward P/E is 37.3×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.17**. A PEG of 0.17 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 6.1×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 6.1×.
- **Price / book: 21.0×**. The shares trade at 21.0× book value; most of the value is in earnings power and intangibles rather than the balance sheet.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 5.0%** (5-yr avg 2.0%). Free cash flow equals 5.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 2.0%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been.
- **Earnings yield: 3.7%**. The inverse of the P/E: 3.7% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 20.2%**. GE Vernova Inc. keeps 20.2% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, a thin margin typical of retail, distribution and commodity businesses.
- **Operating margin: 4.3%**. 4.3% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **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.
- **Return on invested capital: 12.6%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 12.6%.
- **Return on assets: 15.1%**. Each dollar of assets produces 15.1% of profit.

## Financial health
- **Debt to equity: 0.01**. Debt is 0.01 times equity: a conservative balance sheet.
- **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.
- **Altman Z-score: 3.88**. A Z-score of 3.88 places the company in the safe zone for bankruptcy risk.
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
