Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Hit or exceeded the predicted growth inside the window.
The thesis — published September 16, 2025
- Explain the business and why AI boosts power demand - Highlight signs buyers are getting more active - Note recent wins and analyst target hikes - Outline a simple buy-on-dips plan and time frame AI data centers need far more electricity, which helps a company that makes and services power equipment. More buyers than usual and a rising recent average price, plus 09-15 and 09-16 target hikes and a new German wind win, support a steady 3-month climb. Post spin, numbers are still settling, so buy dips and manage risk.
Primary drivers
- AI data centers need huge electricity; GE Vernova sells the gear to meet it
- Price trend looks stronger and the recent average price is moving higher
- Two analyst target raises on 09-15 and 09-16 increase market confidence
- German wind repowering win on 09-16 adds visible future work and revenue
How it played out
GEV: the target stayed out of reach
Lyra published GEV at $625.44 on 2025-09-16 with a 19% expected gain and a $743.41 target. The thesis pointed to power demand from artificial intelligence data centers, stronger price trend, higher recent average price, two analyst target raises on 09-15 and 09-16, and a German wind repowering win on 09-16.
Inside the window, GEV rose but did not reach the target. The peak was $730.46 on 2025-12-10, with a 16.8% gain. It never got there. By 2025-12-15, the stock ended at $680.85. The thesis partially played out, but the published target missed.
What happened during the window
