This page is the measured anatomy of that print on 22 July 2026: every earnings-related headline that crossed for GE Vernova, in order, each with the price reaction measured from its own instant.
The print, row by row
| Crossed | Headline as recorded | 15-min move from that instant | Volume vs normal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10:20 UTC | GE Vernova Inc. (GEV) Q2 2026 (USD): EPS 2.47 (exp. 3.19), Revenue 11.1bln (exp. 10.73bln); lifts 2026 guidance, now expects Revenue 45.5-46.5bln (exp | -1.9% | — |

| 10:26 UTC | GE Vernova Raises FY2026 Sales Guidance from $44.500B-$45.500B to $45.500B-$46.500B vs $45.453B Est | -10.04% | — |
| 11:36 UTC | Update: GE Vernova (GEV) equipment orders more than doubled in Q2, while service orders rose more than 15%, reinforcing a sharp acceleration in power | -1.05% | — |
The shape matters as much as the size. One minute in, the stock had moved +5.05%; by minute fifteen the sign had flipped to -1.9%. The first algorithmic read and the considered read disagreed, and the considered read won — a reversal inside the first quarter-hour, which is the single strongest argument for measuring at more than one horizon.
Which line actually moved it
Each row above is measured from its own instant — the price immediately before that specific headline crossed — so the rows can be compared directly. The largest single reaction, -10.76%, belongs to the 10:24 UTC line. By the time the 11:36 UTC line arrived, the measured response was -1.05% — the marginal information in each successive headline decays fast, and the decay is measurable.
Did the first read hold?
It did. By the close of that session, GE Vernova stood at -8.69% against the prior close — the same direction the first fifteen minutes priced. The instant read and the considered read agreed.
Nothing exotic here — a miss, priced as one. What the measurement adds is the speed: the gap between the print instant and the fifteen-minute mark is how long a reader of the headline had before the information was fully in the price.
How these numbers were measured
We record the price of the instrument immediately before each headline crosses our tape, then again one minute and fifteen minutes later, together with traded volume against that instrument's own normal. Every figure on this page comes from those recordings — the timestamps are the actual instants the lines crossed. Nothing here is an estimate, a close-to-close change, or a model's guess. The method, the gates every page must pass, and how we correct errors are documented in our editorial standards.
