The transition toward renewable energy is creating massive opportunities for infrastructure providers. Eos Energy Enterprises (NASDAQ:EOSE) and GE Vernova (NYSE:GEV) represent two distinct ways to play this trend in 2026.
Eos focuses on specialized zinc-based batteries for long-duration energy storage. GE Vernova is a diversified giant that services a massive portion of the world's electricity grid. Comparing these two helps clarify whether you prefer a high-growth disruptor or an established power leader.
Eos Energy Enterprises produces aqueous zinc batteries designed as a safer, scalable alternative to lithium-ion. It operates primarily within the industrial stocks **** e, targeting utilities and commercial developers. Customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business, as two clients accounted for approximately 70% of total revenue in 2025.
In FY 2025, revenue reached approximately $114.2 million. This represents growth of nearly 631.8% compared to the prior fiscal year. The company reported a pre-tax net loss of roughly $969.6 million, resulting in a negative net margin of approximately 849.1%.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the company had a debt-to-equity ratio of -1.0x. This value indicates that total liabilities exceed shareholder equity. The current ratio, which measures the ability to cover short term obligations with short term **** ets, was approximately 4.9x, while free cash flow was nearly negative $265.0 million.

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) received a boost on September 16 after CEO Scott Strazik stated that the company's backlog could hit the $200 billion mark "very early" in 2027, sooner than Wall Street had expected. The company expects the "strong and durable demand" to drive accelerated growth after its backlog had reached $167 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2026.
GEV has gained by almost 50% over the last year but is down by more than 14% over the last month, reflecting growing investor concerns surrounding the AI trade. The stock also came under pressure on September 14 when GLJ Research slammed it with a 'Sell' rating and a Street-low price target of $470, describing the company as "a cyclical gas turbine manufacturer priced as a secular compounder".
The update builds on extraordinarily strong momentum for GE Vernova, powered by the incredibly strong demand for its power equipment amid the AI data center boom. The company's backlog of $176 billion at the end of Q2 grew $13 billion from the previous quarter and was up 37% YoY, providing it with visibility into earnings well into the 2030s.
Notably, GE Vernova is translating this demand into financial improvement rather than simply a very large order book. The company's revenue grew by 22% YoY to $11.1 billion in the second quarter, while its free cash flow reached $5.1 billion, already exceeding its full-year 2025 level. Given the high demand, GEV raised its 2026 revenue forecast to $45.5 billion-$46.5 ⁠billion, up from its previous range of $44.5 billion-$45.5 billion.
The ongoing AI boom has been a major growth catalyst for GE Vernova, as its data ⁠center-related orders exceeded $5 billion in the first half of this year, more than double 2025's total. According to Barron's, power availability has become a key constraint for data center operators, and this strong demand has effectively constrained GEV's turbine capacity, which can support pricing and the value of scarce delivery slots.

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is one of Jim Cramer's favorite stocks. Throughout 2025, the CNBC TV host continued to heap praise on the firm. Cramer's praise came at a time when new-age nuclear power and quantum computing stocks were experiencing strong gains. Throughout this period, he continued to **** ert that GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) was the only nuclear firm with a stable delivery timeline and the capacity to deliver. In his morning appearance on the 15th, Cramer discussed the recent dip in shares and worries about a slowdown in the AI buildout:
"One company, GE Vernova, which was hit incredibly hard, which actually builds these, was saying they're seeing an order acceleration. So I really doubt the idea there's going to be a decel. Now that stock got hammered yesterday, it's been a horrendous stock since we started getting this political controversy. But again I point out that you just hear no one say anything about pullback."
For GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV), as perhaps indicated by the share price movement, the narrative is driven by its backlog and overall exposure to AI's power generation demand. On this front, CEO Scott Strazik, another Cramer favorite, outlined during the firm's second quarter earnings that data center orders of $5 billion for H1 2026 had already doubled over the full year 2025 figures. Additionally, during Q2, the firm's total orders touched $24 billion to mark an 88% growth driven by its Power and Electrification segment. As a whole, GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV)'s Q2 revenue grew by 22% annually, while its overall backlog and electrification backlogs sat at $176 billion and $446 billion.
At the same time, with GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) also relying on gas turbines for its business, the debate is also about whether exposure to AI can remove the inherent cyclicality in the business. Additionally, with data centers accounting for 40% of the Electrification business's orders, any slowdown in capex spending by big tech players could generate tailwinds for GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV). Similarly, while the data center business is booming and the gas generation business remains tied to prices and interest rates, the firm's wind business is a drag and expected to hurt the bottom line throughout 2026.
In Q2, 106 out of the 1,006 funds tracked by Insider Monkey had held a stake in GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV), which marked a dip over the 118 out of 1,022 funds in Q1. Whether the dip was due to the order mix and AI sentiment or due to profit taking, your guess is as good as ours. On the valuation front, GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) trades at a forward P/E ratio of 35, while short interest as a percentage of float is 3.29%.

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is trying to recover after an 8.5% decline, with Bernstein defending the stock as "wired to win" and highlighting that data centers account for only 38% of its electrification order book. This supports the argument that the company's utility exposure extends beyond AI power demand alone. That diversification is a real consideration, but it does not directly address the concern raised by GLJ Research. The firm's Sell rating is not based on doubts about AI-driven power demand. Instead, GLJ Research argues that GE Vernova is still a fundamentally cyclical gas-turbine manufacturer, while its current valuation reflects an **** umption that the ongoing boom can remain permanent.
GE Vernova shares stabilized after an 8.5% decline triggered by GLJ Research's new Sell rating and broader concerns that a slowdown in AI spending could weigh on the company's order book. Bernstein **** yst Sunaina Ocalan directly challenged the view that GE Vernova's outlook depends mainly on AI infrastructure spending:
While data center orders were $5 billion in H1 2026, or about 38% of electrification orders, the remaining 62% was utility-driven. Utility spend should continue to grow, supported by grid reliability and resilience investments. A slowdown in data center demand may alleviate generation bottlenecks but would do little to address existing grid constraints.
Bernstein continues to rate the stock a Buy with a $1,298 price target, while nearly 80% of **** ysts covering GE Vernova also have a Buy rating. In a separate development, the company announced a wind turbine supply agreement with Eurus Energy Holdings in **** an.
GLJ Research's Gordon Johnson argued that GE Vernova's turbines being sold out does not justify the stock trading at roughly 38.9x forward EV/EBITDA at the time the report was released. Johnson described the company as "a cyclical gas turbine manufacturer priced as a secular compounder," highlighting the premium valuation placed on a fundamentally cyclical business. His model estimates 2027 EBITDA at $7.42 billion, which is 22% below Wall Street consensus. The lower forecast is partly based on the timing of turbine orders, as equipment scheduled for 2027 delivery was ordered in 2024, before the company introduced its more recent price increase.

GE Vernova Inc (NYSE:GEV) rebounded with Bernstein's backing after an earlier sell-off that followed broader concerns about technology infrastructure spending.
Shares were up 6% at $933.94 during afternoon trading on Wednesday, outpacing the utilities sector's reported 1.24% advance.
GE Vernova also ranked among the three leading stocks by turnover in the utilities sector as its shares recovered from prior-session declines.
Bernstein reaffirmed its "outperform" rating, highlighting electrification demand beyond immediate artificial intelligence data center needs.
The brokerage said utility-driven power grid upgrades, energy security and decarbonization initiatives accounted for the majority of electrification orders.

Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) Chief Financial Officer Claire McDonough is stepping down at the end of October to join GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) in the same role, Reuters reported on August 27, just as Rivian ramps up production of its cheaper R2 SUV amid fragile U.S. EV demand.
McDonough will formally take the GE Vernova CFO seat on January 1, 2027, succeeding the retiring Ken Parks. Rivian said her exit is "not the result of any disagreement" and that she is relocating to the East Coast to be closer to family. McDonough joined Rivian in January 2021, led the company through its $13.7 billion IPO later that year, and helped structure its $5.8 billion Volkswagen Group joint venture. Derek Mulvey, Rivian's vice president of finance, will serve as interim CFO starting October 30 while the company runs a search for a permanent replacement. The news lands as Rivian scales the R2, its $45,000-to-$58,000 SUV that began customer deliveries in June, with the stock trading near $17, down more than 75% from its IPO price.
Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ:RIVN) keeps improving its business as it enters the next phase of its growth strategy. The company has started R2 deliveries, and management raised its annual delivery forecast last month as customers showed stronger interest in the lower-priced SUV. Rivian also continues to pursue profitability while growing its vehicle lineup. This is giving the company an opportunity to build a larger customer base through a more affordable model.
Rivian also has an experienced finance team that can maintain continuity after Claire McDonough's departure. McDonough will remain at Rivian through the end of October and help with the transition, while Vice President of Finance Derek Mulvey will take over as interim CFO. That arrangement gives Rivian time to search for a permanent replacement without forcing the company to manage an abrupt leadership gap during the R2 rollout.
GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) gains a finance chief with experience in capital-intensive businesses, fundraising and cost management. McDonough helped Rivian take its business public, lead cost-cutting efforts and raise capital during its expansion. Those skills could benefit GE Vernova as the company expands its Power and Electrification businesses and manages rising demand for energy infrastructure.

HOUSTON/CARACAS, Aug 31 (Reuters) - U.S. companies Chevron and GE Vernova, India's ONGC, Italy's Eni and Colombia's GeoPark are on track to sign final agreements in Venezuela after months of negotiations to ‌firm up energy projects in the OPEC country, five sources close to the preparations said.
Most of the pacts ‌imply completion of a six-month migration of oil contracts to an amended hydrocarbon law now giving more flexibility to foreign firms to expand and operate oilfields, export the barrels and cash sale proceeds, the sources said. Others set terms for new energy and electricity projects.
The list of companies lining up to sign has not been finalized as executives are rushing to complete negotiations at the last minute, two of the sources said.
Chevron's agreements with Venezuela are expected to be "of significant size," according to one of the sources.

#venezuela #marianna

Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX), GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV), India's ONGC, Italy's Eni and Colombia's GeoPark are reportedly close to signing final agreements for energy projects in Venezuela after months of negotiations. Most of the agreements would move existing oil contracts under Venezuela's amended hydrocarbons law, which gives foreign companies more flexibility to operate and expand fields, export crude and receive cash proceeds from sales. Some agreements would also cover new electricity and energy projects.
For Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX), the opportunity could be particularly significant. The company is seeking to add a block in Venezuela's Orinoco Belt, which could allow it to expand an existing joint venture with state-owned PDVSA. It is also pursuing an area in Monagas North that could provide diluents needed for its extra-heavy oil production. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that Chevron was close to securing rights to two additional heavy-oil fields.
The agreements would represent another step toward reopening Venezuela's energy sector to foreign investment, but the final list of companies and terms had not yet been finalized at the time of the Reuters report.
The biggest positive is greater access to Venezuela's enormous oil resources. The amended hydrocarbons framework could give foreign companies more control over their operations and improve their ability to monetize production. For Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX), additional acreage in the Orinoco Belt could provide a meaningful avenue to increase long-term Venezuelan production.
Chevron also has an advantage over companies entering Venezuela for the first time because it already operates joint ventures in the country. That existing infrastructure, relationships, and operational experience could allow it to capture opportunities more efficiently as the sector reopens. The Wall Street Journal has noted that Chevron is currently the only major U.S. oil company operating in Venezuela.

The wait for a large gas turbine now runs longer than the time it takes to design, permit, and build the plant it will sit in. Order one today from any of the three largest manufacturers, and the delivery slot lands four or more years out—if a slot is available at all. The queue to connect a new plant to the grid runs about as long. For developers racing to power the data centers hyperscalers are building, the timeline no longer works, and it is pushing the U.S. generation build toward whatever can be constructed without waiting in either line.That dislocation is the backdrop to a quieter story about where capital is moving, and it surfaced in July when a familiar U.S. plant operator changed hands. IHI Power Services Corp., a company with roughly four decades of experience running American power plants, became Kyuden Energy Partners Corp. on completion of its acquisition by Kyuden International Corp., the overseas arm of a company fully owned by **** an's Kyushu Electric Power Co. The rebrand is the news of the day. The more instructive part is what a foreign utility chose to buy: not power plants, but the capability to run them.
Tony Dabbene, who led IHI Power Services through the transition and stays on as CEO, was blunt about the market. "We are seeing the most dynamic environment in decades," he told POWER, pointing to demand tied to the hyperscalers' data center buildout. Major gas turbine manufacturers, he said, are quoting lead times of four-plus years, with interconnection queues running about the same. The manufacturers' own disclosures bear that out: GE Vernova's gas turbine backlog and slot reservations reached 116 GW by mid-2026, and Siemens Energy has described itself as booked into the back half of the decade, treating 2029 delivery slots as near-term availability.What Dabbene described next was the market's response. Rather than wait for an interconnection that may not clear before mid-decade, developers are building behind the meter and on private grids that sidestep the queue entirely. To power them, they're reaching for whatever can be deployed the fastest: reciprocating engines, fuel cells, and battery storage paired with microgrids, engineered to achieve the high-availability targets that around-the-clock computing demands while managing the power-quality swings that come when those loads shift in an instant. "It is a brand-new world in the energy **** e," he said.This is where a multi-fuel operator has the edge. A company that already runs natural gas, hydro, biomass, wind, solar, and storage has done the work developers are now rushing toward—operating mixed generation and meeting high availability targets. The turbine shortage may be a headache for those building facilities, but it's an opportunity for reliable operators.

Jim Cramer warned on August 24 that mounting political and community backlash against data center power consumption could directly impact equipment suppliers like GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV). He noted:
What happens if the hyperscalers get their act together and offer a code of conduct instead of being out there all by themselves cutting deals that are now regretted? Stranger things have happened than a code of conduct. It must happen if this issue is going to be tempered… I can't believe they haven't figured that out. That's why you have to look at certain companies that were thriving because of data centers, companies like the biggest turbine company that turns natural gas into power. That's GE Vernova. Now, we own it for the Charitable Trust and I now feel that the market won't pay up for its order book because maybe it's gotten soft. I don't want to get rid of it but I don't want to take a beating either.
GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is fundamentally reshaping the grid for the AI era, and its second-quarter 2026 results validate that dominance. Revenue climbed 22% year-over-year to $11.1 billion, but the real story was the order book. Total Q2 orders surged 88% organically to a record $24.2 billion, as data centers scramble for heavy-duty and aeroderivative gas turbines. The runaway demand pushed the company's total backlog to a staggering $176 billion. Management is highly confident in this trajectory, aggressively raising full-year free cash flow guidance to a massive range of $11.5 billion to $12.5 billion and cementing GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) as a solid cash-generating AI infrastructure play.
Despite the top-line explosion, GE Vernova Inc.'s (NYSE:GEV) Q2 diluted EPS of $2.47 missed consensus estimates, while margin pressure persisted in parts of its business, particularly Wind, where organic orders fell 40%. More importantly, as Cramer admitted about his own stake in the Charitable Trust, he now feels the market might refuse to pay up for the company's massive order book if it starts to soften. With local governments imposing stricter regulations and higher compensation requirements on data centers, the pace of hyperscaler expansion is facing real bottlenecks. If developers are delayed by political pushback and grid limitations, the company's delivery timelines and following revenue recognition could stretch further out, which could test investor patience.

On August 14, AirJoule Technologies (NASDAQ:AIRJ) reported second-quarter results that arrived alongside a striking backdrop: state governments are now blocking new data centers over water use, and AirJoule sells machines that make water out of thin air. The company posted a net loss of $8.5 million, mostly noncash, while laying out how tightening water rules in New York, Texas and California are turning into sales opportunities rather than obstacles. It is a story about regulation reshaping demand before the revenue has caught up.
New York enacted a moratorium on data center permits above 50 megawatts, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott paused new grid-connected data center approvals pending a water audit, according to CEO Matt Jore. California's own water supply strategy projects the state could lose 10% of its water supply by 2040 due to hotter, drier conditions, and any residential project of 500 units or more there now needs written proof of a 20-year water supply just to get a permit. Texas faces a similar squeeze: state water plans point to a 10% decline in supply by 2080 even as the population is expected to grow 53% in that span. AirJoule's answer is a system that pulls distilled water from humidity using low-grade waste heat, sidestepping municipal supply entirely.
That pitch just found a distribution channel. In July, AirJoule signed an exclusive sales agreement with Kubota Corporation covering residential developments in Texas and California, with two Core systems set to deploy near Corpus Christi and in Irvine this quarter. The company is also stacking up validation: a Core unit is running as a showcase at GE Vernova's new Frontier campus in Niskayuna, New York, another shipped to Expo City Dubai after AirJoule won one of the UAE's first Expo City green licenses, and the first Prime unit is headed to Europe to demonstrate data center waste-heat recovery for Net Zero Innovation Hub members including Google and Microsoft. Corporate cash stood at $41.4 million as of June 30, and combined with the joint venture's balance, AirJoule holds $43 million with zero debt.
That $8.5 million net loss included $5.1 million in noncash charges tied to the rising fair value of earnout and vesting share liabilities, a reminder that the balance sheet is exposed to swings that have nothing to do with operations. More tangibly, AirJoule raised its 2026 cash spend guidance to $27 million to $28 million, up from an earlier $25 million estimate, because commercialization is moving faster than planned. The joint venture alone burned $5 million in operating expenses during the quarter and needed another $2.5 million capital contribution from AirJoule to keep manufacturing and pilot work funded.

Quinbrook has selected GE Vernova to provide technology for the third stage of the Supernode battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Queensland, Australia, expanding its involvement to all three phases of the development.
The agreement will see GE Vernova deliver power conversion, plant controls, system integration and grid-connection support for stage three.
The Supernode site is located adjacent to the South Pine substation, a central component of Queensland's electricity transmission network. The facility stores electricity during times of surplus and dispatches it back into the grid when demand rises or renewable output fluctuates.
This process supports dependable power supply and allows for greater integration of renewable energy sources into the network.
The first and second stages, which also used GE Vernova technology, are now fully operational and are among the largest BESS facilities running in Australia's National Electricity Market.

GE Vernova's (NYSE: GEV) stock price shot up 80% in the first half of 2026, but has since retreated from its peak. The stock trades under $1,000 now, having declined more than 10% in just the past month. Is this recent pullback a signal that GE Vernova is a bargain or a trap? Let's have a look.
GE Vernova's fundamentals are strong. The company beat second-quarter expectations while reporting an 88% year-over-year jump in its backlog. GE Vernova's $176 billion backlog provides significant visibility into near- and intermediate-term revenue. The company's profitability metrics have risen substantially.

Vernova also raised its full-year 2026 guidance in its latest earnings release, with free cash flow potentially reaching $12.5 billion.
So what's the problem? The answer is blowing in the wind, as the song goes. GE Vernova's wind segment is struggling mightily, and orders decreased 40% year over year in this latest quarter. The wind segment's losses are also widening. It's expected that the wind business will hit a staggering $400 million loss this year.

Order a heavy-duty gas turbine from GE Vernova today and it won't arrive until 2031. That's the company's actual production schedule, confirmed on its July 22 earnings call, and it's the fact sitting underneath every AI data center power plan announced in the last two years. It comes up far less often than the announcements do.
Goldman Sachs put hard numbers on the demand side in May. U.S. data center power demand climbs from 31 gigawatts in 2025 to 41 GW this year and 66 GW in 2027. Year-over-year capacity additions accelerate from 8.5 GW actually realized last year to 13.6 GW scheduled for 2026 and 36.3 GW scheduled for 2027. By then data centers would take 8.5% of total U.S. peak summer demand, up from 4.1% today.
The equipment meant to generate that power is on a completely different clock.
The Big Three Are Booked Solid Into the 2030s
GE Vernova closed the second quarter with 116 GW of gas power equipment backlog and slot reservation agreements, up from 100 GW three months earlier and 83 GW at the end of 2025. It expects at least 125 GW under contract by December. CEO Scott Strazik told **** ysts the company is taking reservations for 2031 delivery and should be more than halfway contracted for that year by the end of 2026. Its production plan: roughly 20 GW annualized this quarter, 24 GW by 2028, and a push toward 30 GW by 2030.

GE Vernova operates three core businesses: Power (55% of its 2025 orders), Electrification (33%), and Wind (13%). Since its market debut, the Power and Electrification segments have grown rapidly to meet the demands of the power-hungry cloud, data center, and AI markets. That growth offset the softness of its Wind segment, which grappled with supply chain issues.
GE Vernova's orders rose 7% organically in 2024, then accelerated to 34% growth in 2025. From 2025 to 2028, ***** ysts expect its revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to grow at CAGRs of 17% and 60%, respectively.
Therefore, GE Vernova's stock soared because it was a well-balanced play on the expanding AI market. With an enterprise value of $252 billion, it isn't cheap at 40 times this year's adjusted EBITDA -- but its robust growth rates could support that premium valuation.

What happened: GE Vernova (GEV) stock fell by roughly 6% on Wednesday.
Why the stock is moving: The gas turbine maker's quarterly results failed to impress investors with earnings missing expectations. Quarterly revenue beat estimates while the company saw a jump in orders for power and electrification equipment.
"With a backlog of $176 billion, continued revenue growth and margin expansion, and significant free cash flow generation, GE Vernova's momentum is building, and we are raising our 2026 financial guidance," CEO Scott Strazik said.
The company now sees revenue of $45.5 billion to $46.5 billion for the year, versus a previous forecast of $44.5 billion to $45.5 billion.

Wall Street finished sharply higher on Tuesday, with semiconductor stocks leading a broad-based rally despite fresh geopolitical and trade concerns.
The Nasdaq paced the gains, climbing 329 points, or 1.3%, to 25,837 as investors piled back into chipmakers after recent weakness. The S&P 500 rose 66 points, or 0.9%, to 7,509, while the Dow Jones added 385 points, or 0.7%, to close at 52,225.
Technology shares were the standout performers as optimism returned to the semiconductor sector, helping offset concerns over escalating tensions in the Middle East and new US tariffs targeting Canadian imports.
Investors appeared willing to look beyond the latest geopolitical headlines, instead focusing on a busy stretch of corporate earnings that could set the tone for markets through the rest of the week.
The spotlight now turns to Wednesday's earnings calendar, one of the busiest of the season. Before the opening bell, investors will hear from Philip Morris, GE Vernova and AT&T. After markets close, attention will shift to Big Tech, with Alphabet, Tesla and IBM all scheduled to report results.

US stocks diverged on Wednesday as investors looked ahead to earnings from Alphabet (GOOG) and Tesla (TSLA) after the market close, while fresh tariffs and rising oil prices remained in focus.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) turned higher, rising 0.3%, and the S&P 500 (^GSPC) hovered near the flat line. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) sank 0.3%, leading the retreat from a winning day on Wall Street the day before.
A tech recovery faces its next test later Wednesday when Alphabet and Tesla post second quarter results, the first two of the "Magnificent Seven" megacaps to report. Investors are weighing whether Google's AI monetization efforts justify surging spending on AI. All eyes will be on Tesla's capex, too, as the Elon Musk-led company vaults into its next phase of automation.
Among the other notable earnings, Supermicro (SMCI) shares surged after the AI server maker reported a record backlog. IBM (IBM) is also scheduled to report Q2 results after a pre-earnings warning caused a brutal stock drop last week. The power and electrification giant GE Vernova (GEV) reported revenue above expectations and a steadily growing order book but missed on earnings per share.
In trade news, President Trump appears ready to replace expiring 10% global tariffs with more permanent duties, including a potential 100% tariff on imported generic drugs. A new 25% tariff targeting Brazil came into effect on Wednesday.

Not all hyperscalers are made equal, and some are made less equal than others. Moving on from shamelessly misquoting Orwell, there's a key point here, and it's demonstrated in the chart below. Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) stock declined 24.8% in the first half of 2026, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) declined by a similar amount, but, interestingly, both Amazon.com and Alphabet, the owner of Google, are in positive territory. Here's why.
There are two themes to explore here. First, the reality is that forecasts for the construction of artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure have increased throughout the year. That's the main reason AI infrastructure companies like Vertiv and GE Vernova have significantly outperformed the market and the hyperscalers, like Oracle, whose increased capital spending requirements have pressured their stocks in 2026.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
The second reason for the decline stems from something it shares with the other hyperscaler in negative territory, Microsoft: significant exposure to the AI model and technology company, OpenAI.
