- 2026-08-14 This $10 Billion ETF Owns the Companies Wiring America''s $68 Billion Data Center Boom The First Trust RBA American Industrial Renaissance ETF (NYSEARCA:AIRR) has quietly become one of the purest public-market proxies for the AI data center buildout.
- 2026-08-06 Powell Industries: Bull Trap Over - AI/Utility-Driven Growth At Hefty Price Decelerating growth pains have negated Powell''s growing backlog and richer margins, with the expensive P/E of 40x also contributing to its mixed investment thesis. Capacity expansion is underway, with management targeting over 20% YoY growth by FY2026 as they evaluate a new facility for further upside from H2''27 onwards. FQ4''26 is unlikely to enjoy a similar new order profile as that of FQ3''26, as POWL hints at smaller pipelines along the sub-$100M to $200M ranges.
- 2026-08-06 Powell Industries Q3 Earnings Call Highlights Powell Industries (NASDAQ: POWL) reported record third-quarter order bookings and a backlog that surpassed $2 billion for the first time in its 79-year history, as demand remained strong across data centers, electric utilities, LNG and other industrial markets. For the fiscal third quarter ended June 30, Powell reported revenue of $312 million, up 9% from $286

- 2026-08-05 Powell Industries: The Price Drop Makes It More Attractive Powell Industries posted strong order intake, with a record $2.4B backlog and $934M in new orders, including a $400M data center project. Despite robust demand, POWL trades at 28x 2027 earnings, which is not cheap for a project-driven industrial; I rate the stock Hold at $189. Execution risk is elevated: future growth depends on timely capacity expansion, margin preservation above 28%, and continued data center order momentum.
