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.

Prysmian buys Atkore, wins Amazon data-center cable deal

Prysmian to buy Atkore for $3.8bn Prysmian agreed to buy US cable maker Atkore for $3.8 billion in cash, a 30% premium. It expands Prysmian's North American electrification and data-centre business, letting it sell more products to the same customers. Bigger scale and cross-selling can lift future earnings, though the cash outlay and debt taken on are the cost.
The acquisition is the period's biggest company-specific event and directly changes Prysmian's growth outlook.
Amazon Ohio data-centre cable supply deal Prysmian will make low-carbon aluminium cables for an Amazon data centre in Ohio, using Rio Tinto metal, at its Sedalia plant. It shows Prysmian winning work in the fast-growing data-centre power market and supports its green-revenue goal. No contract value was given and the technology is early-stage, so near-term earnings impact is limited.
It is a fresh, concrete win in Prysmian's key growth market of data-centre electrification.
AI infrastructure demand keeps Prysmian in favour Investors are rewarding companies that supply the AI build-out, and Prysmian was named among outperformers on strong AI-enabling demand. Data centres and power grids need huge amounts of cable, so this trend supports Prysmian's orders and pricing. It is a broad market tailwind rather than a company announcement.
It explains the sector-wide demand force behind Prysmian's share-price support this period.
Lawyer probe into Atkore deal fairness A shareholder-rights law firm is investigating whether Atkore's $95-per-share sale to Prysmian is fair to Atkore holders. Such probes are common and rarely block deals, but they can delay closing or push for better terms. For Prysmian the risk is mainly timing and cost, not a change to its strategy.
It is the main counterweight to the acquisition news and could affect deal completion.
