Project Overview: GE Vernova and Siemens Energy are negotiating to supply gas turbines for a $7 billion project aimed at rebuilding Syria's power sector, which has been heavily damaged by war.
Contract Details: Syria has signed a deal to construct four combined-cycle gas turbine power plants with a total capacity of 4,000 megawatts, along with a 1,000-MW solar component, but specific budget details for the turbines are not disclosed.
Potential Impact: If successful, Siemens Energy and GE Vernova would be among the first Western companies to engage in Syria's power sector reconstruction following the lifting of most U.S. sanctions on Damascus earlier this year.
Market Context: The negotiations come amid mixed financial results for GE Vernova, which is also focusing on expanding its electrification segment and targeting significant revenue growth by 2028.

Despite a solid Q3 report, GE Vernova has underperformed its power generation peers over the past two months, the analyst tells investors in a research note. JPMorgan believes this brings a "compelling entry point." It sees a favorable catalyst path setup into investor events from peers, customers, and the company over the next several weeks. The analyst keeps an Overweight rating on GE Vernova with a $740 price target.

Reason
Morgan Stanley analyst Angel Castillo raised the firm's price target on Caterpillar (CAT) to $380 from $350 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares. Caterpillar reported "strong" Q3 results on better-than-expected volumes, but the firm remains skeptical the strength will persist into 2026 as it argues that "fundamentals remain mixed at best." The firm's sum-of-the-parts analysis suggests the market is now discounting a higher multiple on Caterpillar's Power Gen business than GE Vernova (GEV) or Nvidia (NVDA), the analyst added.
