Power Solutions International (PSIX) saw a disastrous Q1, missing revenue by 20% and sharply disappointing on EPS, shifting the narrative to a turnaround play. I downgrade PSIX to Buy, citing near-term risks from weak oil & gas demand, shipment timing, and elevated production costs, but see these as largely transient. Management's pivot to high-margin data center engines remains intact, with Wisconsin ramp-up expected to drive sales acceleration in H2 2026.
Power Solutions International, Inc. (PSIX) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript
Dycom Industries remains a "buy" as growth catalysts—the Power Solutions acquisition and BEAD—are becoming increasingly tangible, driving near-term visibility. Power Solutions delivers strong cross-selling in the high-demand DMV data center market, with margins above consolidated levels and accelerating growth momentum. BEAD funding is progressing, with DY winning more deals and expected to see backlog and revenue impact as awards move into contracts by Q2.
