GE Vernova Loses Multi-Billion Pound Swedish SMR Deal to Rolls-Royce
GEV has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $482.2.
Summary
GE Vernova was passed over for a significant 'several billion pounds' small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) supply deal in Sweden, with state utility Vattenfall selecting Rolls-Royce SMR instead. This news comes as Sweden's government announces its first financing package for new nuclear reactors, highlighting a competitive setback for GE Vernova in a growing market. While the broader sector sees positive momentum, this represents a material lost contract opportunity for GEV, despite its ongoing collaborations in nuclear energy as seen in recent timeline entries.
At the time of this announcement, GEV was trading at $1,084.94 on NYSE in the Energy & Transportation sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $284.2B. The 52-week trading range was $482.20 to $1,181.95. This news item was assessed with negative market sentiment and an importance score of 8 out of 10. Source: Reuters.
