GE Vernova Beats, Raises Guidance and Buys Trench Group. Here's What the Grid Deal Adds.
- On Wednesday, GE Vernova announced a $9 billion acquisition of Trench Group from investment firm Triton Partners, with the transaction expected to close in late 2027 using equal portions of cash and debt.
- Utilities are increasing spending to replace aging infrastructure and meet demand from data centers and industrial electrification, boosting demand for high-voltage transmission networks and specialized equipment that suppliers like Vernova provide.
- Power orders nearly tripled in the quarter while backlog grew to a record $197 billion; third-quarter revenue rose 27% to $12.64 billion and adjusted EBITDA stood at $1.94 billion.
- The acquisition expands Vernova's reach across Europe and Asia while providing access to Trench's backlog worth about $5 billion; production of 765-kilovolt equipment begins in Charlotte, North Carolina in late 2027.
- Vernova raised its 2026 revenue forecast to $46.5 billion to $47.5 billion for the third consecutive time and expects global tariffs to add less than $100 million to annual costs.
