Nextpower expands into storage and inverters, raises guidance despite Q2 revenue miss

  • Acquires Prevalon Energy for up to $365M, enters battery storage Nextpower agreed to buy Prevalon Energy, a battery storage specialist with 6 GWh deployed and 1.3 GW of supply contracts for AI data centers. This expands beyond solar tracking into storage and software, and the company raised its fiscal 2027 revenue outlook to $4.0–$4.4 billion. RBC raised its price target to $149.

    This is a major new acquisition that diversifies revenue and directly lifts future growth expectations.

  • Completes Prevalon acquisition, raises FY2027 guidance Nextpower closed the Prevalon deal and raised fiscal 2027 revenue guidance to $4.0–$4.4 billion and adjusted EBITDA to $845–$930 million. The acquisition adds battery systems, power control, and software, positioning Nextpower for grid storage and AI data center power. This confirms the earlier deal and boosts forward estimates.

    Completion and raised guidance make the growth from Prevalon concrete and near-term.

  • Q2 revenue miss but EPS beat and full-year guidance raised Nextpower reported Q2 revenue of $935.2M, slightly below estimates, but adjusted EPS of $1.20 beat by 14.9% and EBITDA of $233M topped forecasts. The company raised full-year revenue guidance to $4.25B midpoint and EPS to $4.58, though EBITDA guidance missed. The stock rose 2.2% after the report.

    This is the latest earnings update, showing profitability strength and higher full-year outlook despite a small revenue miss.

  • Completes Zigor power conversion acquisition, adds inverter technology Nextpower completed the acquisition of Zigor's power conversion assets, adding UL-certified central inverters for US utility-scale solar and storage, IEC-certified products for Europe, and proprietary technology. It is accelerating US manufacturing with over 10 GW of capacity expected within twelve months, deliveries ramping in early 2027.

    This new deal expands the product portfolio and manufacturing footprint, supporting future revenue and margin growth.

ABB raises outlook on record orders, buys Rotork, invests in grid capacity

  • Q2 orders surge 30%, profit up 7%, 2026 revenue outlook raised ABB's second-quarter orders jumped 30% to $12.0 billion and net income rose 7% to $1.23 billion. Management raised full-year 2026 revenue growth guidance to low double-digit to low-teens, a direct sign that demand for ABB's electrification and automation products is stronger than expected, which supports a higher share price.

    This is the single biggest new fundamental driver of ABB's value this period.

  • ABB to buy Rotork for $5.5 billion, funded partly by Robotics sale ABB agreed to acquire UK actuator maker Rotork for about $5.5 billion, a 60% premium, to expand its automation business. The deal will be paid for with cash and roughly $4.8 billion from selling its Robotics unit to SoftBank. Buying a quality business at a high price is a long-term positive, but the premium and integration risk create some uncertainty for the share price.

    This is a major strategic move that reshapes ABB's portfolio and affects its balance sheet.

  • ABB invests $200 million to expand European medium-voltage manufacturing ABB announced a $200 million investment across Europe, including a new $100 million plant in Italy, to boost production of medium-voltage electrical equipment. This capacity expansion positions ABB to capture rising demand from battery storage and grid projects across Europe, supporting future revenue growth.

    It shows ABB is investing to meet the electrification demand that is driving its orders.

  • ABB invests in Gridcog to scale energy project modeling software ABB made a minority investment in UK startup Gridcog, whose software helps design and compare renewable and microgrid projects. This strengthens ABB's advisory and digital services for commercial and industrial customers, adding a higher-margin software layer to its electrification offerings and supporting long-term growth.

    It highlights ABB's push into digital and software services that complement its hardware business.
