GE Vernova and Public Service Enterprise Group are both positioned to benefit from growing electricity demand driven by data centers, electrification, and grid modernization. GE Vernova secured a 372-MW gas turbine order in Côte d'Ivoire and shows stronger growth metrics with 72.41% EPS growth and 42.42% ROE, while PSEG offers stable regulated utility returns with 6-7.5% rate-base growth through 2030. Zacks recommends GE Vernova as the better choice currently, though both stocks carry a Hold rating.

In a comparison of two utility stocks, FirstEnergy (FE) emerges as the superior value opportunity compared to PSEG (PEG). FE holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) with a Value grade of B, while PEG has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) with a Value grade of C. FE's stronger earnings outlook and better valuation metrics, including a lower P/B ratio (1.8 vs 2.08) and PEG ratio (2.60 vs 2.72), position it as the more attractive investment for value investors.
