GE Vernova jumps after company secures first wind repower upgrade contract outside the US with Taiwan Power

GE Vernova is soaring as its onshore wind repower business goes international.

The company signed a deal to supply 25 repower upgrade kits to Taiwan Power Company, which will modernize its existing fleet to extend its lifespan, along with a five-year operations and maintenance services agreement.

“The milestone international contract builds on GE Vernova’s track record of repowering over 6,000 wind turbines in the United States, extending that expertise to support Taiwan’s decarbonization goals,” per the press release.

GE Vernova boasts 57,000 turbines installed worldwide. Turning past customers into a recurring revenue stream via these upgrade contracts is certainly a tidy piece of higher-margin business for the firm.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.
