Backup power generation and energy storage systems
Strategic Profile
The company reorganized its reporting structure as of March 31, 2026, from Domestic and International segments to Residential and Commercial & Industrial (C&I) segments to better align with market opportunities. Management highlights strong growth in the C&I segment and momentum in the large and rapidly growing data center end market, where the company is in final stages of vendor approval with multiple hyperscale customers.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Q1 2026 revenue growth of 12% with improved free cash flow ($89.9M vs. $27.2M prior year) reflects operational improvement. Full-year 2026 outlook projects mid-to-high teens percent sales growth and adjusted EBITDA margin of 18.5–19.5%, indicating stronger execution ahead, though residential segment faces cyclicality.
