CEO Highlights $200B Backlog Target at Morgan Stanley Laguna Conference

Providing underlying fundamental support for the stock, GE Vernova CEO Scott Strazik delivered a bullish presentation at Morgan Stanley’s 14th Annual Laguna Conference on Wednesday.

Strazik outlined a “stronger for longer” demand environment driven by hyperscale AI data centers and global grid modernization, noting that the company’s total order backlog reached $176 billion in the second quarter.

Management expects this backlog to surpass $200 billion by early 2027, anchored by stronger pricing, multi-gigawatt electrification orders, and a planned 50% increase in gas power capacity this year to meet dispatchable baseload demand.

Furthermore, Strazik projected that the company expects to secure $100 billion in cumulative future services revenue by the end of 2027.
