📊 MIXED Powell Industries Q2 2026: Revenue $297M, Backlog $1.8B, Mega Data Center Award $400M+
Revenue & Profitability
Second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue was $297 million, net income $45.9 million ($1.25 per diluted share). Gross margin was 29.6%. Operating cash flow was $51 million. Cash and short-term investments stood at $545 million with no debt.
Outlook
Management is optimistic about sustained demand across LNG, data centers, and electric utility markets. They see the initial phase of a multi-year U.S. LNG export capacity build-out and early signs of a petrochemical market recovery. Data center demand remains strong, evidenced by a $400M+ mega award secured after quarter-end.
Growth Drivers
Key growth drivers include LNG export projects, data center expansion (particularly behind-the-meter designs), electric utility generation projects, and a potential petrochemical market inflection. The company is also investing in government/defense markets as a new growth vertical.
Balance Sheet & CapEx
Q2 CapEx was $1.8 million, with $12-$13 million planned for the Jacintoport upgrade in H2 2026. The company is evaluating a $70-$100 million greenfield facility or a large lease as a bridge, with a decision expected within a few quarters. An $8 million investment in fabrication equipment is also underway.
Margins
Gross margin was 29.6% in Q2, with ~90 bps from favorable project closeouts. SG&A was 8.7% of revenue, expected to remain in the upper single digits. Margins benefit from strong execution and volume leverage; pricing power is emerging in constrained product areas.
Key Risks
Risks include the inability to attract and train talent, supply chain constraints (especially copper and steel), and execution risk on large/complex projects. Competitive pricing pressure and capacity limitations could restrict growth.

Financial Model
Projections are built from each company's audited annual financials (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) over the last 5 fiscal years. Forward assumptions — revenue growth %, EBITDA margin, D&A (USD millions), interest expense, tax rate, and capex — are AI-generated using historical context and refreshed twice a year: after the December results season and after the September/Q4 results season.

DCF Valuation
Fair Value = Σ(FCFt / (1+WACC)t) + Terminal Value. Terminal Value uses the Gordon Growth Model: FCF5 × (1+g) / (WACC−g). Default WACC: 10% (US risk-free ~4.5%, equity risk premium ~5.5%). Default terminal growth: 3% (long-run US nominal GDP proxy).

CAGR Tracker
Expected 5-year CAGR = (DCF Fair Value / Current Price)1/5 − 1. Assumes fair value is reached in exactly 5 years — a mechanical estimate only.
