Wells Fargo analyst Matthew Akers raised the firm's price target on General Electric to $200 from $177 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The analyst sees opportunity for GE to cut 300-500 basis points of expenses in the coming years, 2-3 times what the company committed to at its recent investor day. The firm increased estimates to incorporate higher margins. The new price target reflects a 30-times price-to-earnings multiple on aerospace and $34 per share for Vernova.
