GEV — Jul 1030/1080 call debit spread
GE Vernova rides the same $700B-plus hyperscaler capex story as VRT but on the power-equipment side, where gas-turbine lead times remain the supply chain's binding constraint into 2027. The Jul 1030/1080 call spread takes $20.88 debit against $50 width and clears at any close above $1,089 (about 5% above spot). Computex Jun 2-6 provides the AI-infrastructure announcement window inside the expiry.

What invalidates this thesis
A turbine-supply normalization narrative or peer disappointment from the next utility-sector print would compress GEV's premium multiple and stall the spread above breakeven.
