Mixed quality — meaningful strengths and weaknesses.

Winston Score between 40 and 70. The stock passes some quality checks but not all.

GE Vernova makes the equipment that generates and moves electricity. Its main products are gas turbines, wind turbines, and power grid hardware like transformers and switches. Utility companies, governments, and industrial customers around the world buy this equipment to build and upgrade power plants and electrical grids.

The company earns money by selling large equipment and then charging customers for long-term service contracts to maintain that equipment. GE Vernova operates globally, with significant business in North America, Europe, and Asia, and reported roughly $35 billion in annual revenue. Its competitive edge comes from decades of engineering history and a massive installed base of machines that need ongoing servicing. The key growth driver is surging demand for electricity infrastructure, especially from data centers and the energy transition, but the main risk is that wind turbine manufacturing has historically been unprofitable and margins across the business remain thin.

Growth + cash flow

GE Vernova is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 16%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.

Share count rising — dilution

+1.4% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 272.1M (2021) → 276.0M (2025)
