Powell Industries (POWL-Q) has experienced a significant surge last year, but it has faced challenges in the current market, particularly influenced by the cooling demand for data centers. Despite a healthy backlog of $1.3 billion and new orders worth $269 million, sales and earnings have moderated from last year's exceptional levels. While the company has demonstrated mid-20s revenue growth and mid-40s earnings growth, experts believe that the recent sell-off may have been overdone. The stock's price, having surged dramatically from $20 to $171, signals strong market interest, but analysts suggest it may be entering a consolidation phase after an impressive run. Overall, Powell Industries is well-positioned in the electric infrastructure sector and continues to receive positive analyst coverage.

BUY

Had a great run-up last year, but has slid this year. Why? Has strong fundamentals, positive analysts coverage and low valuation. It soared when data centres were hot, but is sliding when they're not. The actual business is doing well: a healthy backlog of $1.3 billion and $269 million of new orders, and excellent earnings. Sales and earnings have slowed from last year's insanely high levels. Still boasts mid-20s revenue growth and mid-40s earnings growth. The selling is overdone.

HOLD

It's moved up, and is probably entering another consolidation phase. And if it's a good company, it'll move up again. Looking at a 1-year chart, it could be breaking down a bit on daily chart. Old resistance becomes new support, so $190-200 could be the potential target for that. Overall, not a bad longer-term picture.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Good-looking chart. Big picture shows an uptrend. Chart shows consolidation in early 2024 after its parabolic move. But again, it's now gone a little too high too fast. He believes it will take a break, and you can use that as a chance to buy if you like the company's prospects.

RISKY

They've become the go-to to obtain critical electric infrastructure. It's a terrific data centre play. Is up 259% this year.

BUY

Has soared from $20 in late-September 2022 to $171 today. An industrial company that makes electricity-related equipment, geared to oil and gas companies (including pipelines and refineries), but they're growing because of new end-users in utilities, transportation, metal, mining and data centres. Big growth since last year, 31% revenue growth. EPS nearly quadrupled in 2023 as orders grew 94% and they saw a backlog of 118%. The street has been under-estimating them, so they have been beating their quarters huge.

BUY

Profitable and in the right sector, infrastructure.
