Did AMSC Beat Earnings? Q4 2026 Results
American Superconductor delivered a strong fiscal fourth quarter, posting non-GAAP earnings of $0.30 per diluted share against a consensus estimate of $0.19, a beat of 55.20% that extended the company's streak of topping analyst EPS expectations to four consecutive quarters. Revenue of $86.41 million climbed 29.6% year over year, clearing the $81.57 million consensus by 5.93%, as the Grid segment, which alone contributed $73.70 million of the quarter's top line, continued to generate outsized demand from utility and industrial customers. The Comtrafo acquisition, which expanded AMSC's manufacturing presence into Latin America, added scale to the Grid business and helped push full-year fiscal 2025 revenue to a record $299.15 million. The balance sheet also reflects the company's growth posture, with cash rising to $140.05 million and a 12-month backlog expanding nearly 40% to roughly $280 million, underpinned by orders approaching $100 million in the quarter from traditional energy and data center customers. Looking ahead, management guided Q1 fiscal 2026 revenue above $85 million, signaling continued momentum into the new fiscal year.
- Strong organic growth of 25% within Grid and Wind businesses
- Contribution from the acquisition of Comtrafo expanding presence in Latin America
- Surging data center demand within the utility market
- Traditional energy sector orders approaching $100 million in Q4
- Non-cash tax benefit from release of valuation allowance on deferred tax assets boosted full-year GAAP net income
“AMSC delivered record quarterly and full-year results, reflecting exceptional strategic and operational execution. We delivered a strong fourth quarter, with revenue up 30% year-over-year to over $86 million. For the full year, revenue grew 34% to nearly $300 million, driven primarily by 25% organic growth and supported by our recent acquisition to capture utility and industrial demand in Latin America. Fourth quarter orders approached $100 million, led by the traditional energy sector and surging data center demand within the utility market. We ended the year with our 12-month backlog up nearly 40% year-over-year to approximately $280 million. These results demonstrate our expanded addressable market and disciplined operational execution. We enter fiscal 2026 with a steadfast focus on powering progress and driving long-term success for AMSC customers.”
