GE Vernova (GEV): Argus Raises Its Target to $1,300 After a Blowout Quarter Neha Gupta Fri, May 15, 2026 at 10:46 PM GMT+7 2 min read GEV GEN GENVR GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is one of the best uranium stocks to buy according to Wall Street analysts. On April 27, Argus analyst John Eade raised his price target on GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) from $800 to $1,300, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock.

The upgrade came just days after GE Vernova reported a blowout performance in its Q1 2026 results on April 22. Quarterly revenue came in at $9.34 billion, up 16% compared to the same quarter last year. Analysts had expected around $9.29-9.30 billion, so this was a narrow 0.47% beat above consensus. The company also reported $17.44 in diluted EPS for the quarter, which management explained includes a $4.5 billion one-time pre-tax gain from the Prolec GE acquisition. Adjusted EPS, which strips out this one-time gain, was $1.98 and outperformed the $1.84-$1.95 consensus estimate. Management also raised its full-year 2026 revenue forecast to $44.5-$45.5 billion, up from earlier guidance of $44-$45 billion, and lifted its adjusted EBITDA margin outlook to 12%-14% from 11%-13%.

Argus noted that the robust results came on the back of surging demand for electrification, which is being driven by the rapid growth of AI and data centers. The firm’s analysis shows that GE Vernova is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend because it operates across the full electricity value chain through three business segments.
