Grid Hardware Stocks List

GE Vernova was spun off from General Electric in April 2024 and operates across three segments: Power (gas turbines, nuclear, hydro), Wind, and Electrification. The Electrification segment is the direct grid hardware play, generating $9.6 billion in FY2025 revenue across HVDC systems, power transformers, switchgear, substations, synchronous condensers, and grid automation software. The segment's equipment backlog reached $35 billion by end-2025, quadrupling over four years. The February 2026 acquisition of Prolec GE — a transformer joint venture previously 50%-owned — added approximately $3 billion in annual revenue and seven manufacturing sites, five of them in the United States, making GEV a leading North American transformer supplier. Key demand drivers include offshore HVDC connections (including the 2.2 GW TenneT BalWin5 award), data centre power infrastructure, and utility grid modernisation across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.

Management identifies data centre demand as the single largest demand driver, alongside utility grid modernisation, and India has grown into ABB's fourth-largest market.

Schneider Electric is a French energy technology company headquartered in Rueil-Malmaison with approximately 160,000 employees operating across more than 100 countries. Its Energy Management segment — the grid-hardware play — generated €33.1 billion in FY2025 revenue (82% of group total) across low-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear, power transformers, circuit breakers, prefabricated power modules, and ADMS grid software serving over 100 utilities covering 170 million end-users globally. The segment holds leading market shares in core electrical product categories and carried a €21.3 billion backlog at end-2025. Data centres and networks have become the largest demand driver, representing more than a third of group orders in FY2025. Schneider completed the acquisition of its Indian operating entity (SEIPL) for approximately €5.5 billion in December 2025, bringing India to full ownership as its third-largest country by revenue.

Combined electrical backlog reached $15.3 billion at end-2025, and data centre demand has become a major growth driver for the Electrical segments. Eaton is investing $1.5 billion to expand Electrical Americas manufacturing capacity, with new plants ramping through 2026–2027. A planned spin-off of the Mobility Group (the Vehicle and eMobility segments), announced in January 2026 and targeted for completion by the end of Q1 2027, will concentrate the company on Electrical and Aerospace. The $9.5 billion Boyd Thermal acquisition, completed in March 2026, adds liquid cooling capability for data centres.

Siemens Energy was spun off from Siemens AG in September 2020 and operates four segments: Gas Services (gas turbines and aftermarket), Grid Technologies (HVDC, substations, transformers, switchgear), Transformation of Industry (compression and industrial decarbonisation), and Siemens Gamesa (wind).
