Did NXT Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
Nextracker posted a standout fiscal fourth quarter, with revenue of $924.34 million climbing 25.5% year over year and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.29 beating the $0.98 consensus estimate by 31.63%, as the solar tracker maker demonstrated that its domestic supply chain and expanding product portfolio can sustain momentum even amid a shifting policy backdrop. The key driver behind the earnings strength was adjusted gross margin expansion to 33.4% from 30.2% a year ago, a clean comparison that strips out the $121.00 million cumulative IRA 45X tax credit that had inflated year-ago GAAP results. Backlog climbed to well above $4.50 billion, and full-year adjusted free cash flow reached $621.87 million, leaving Nextracker with $766.10 million in cash and no debt. The company also announced the $78.00 million all-cash acquisition of Bentek Corporation, broadening its solar platform beyond trackers into electrical balance-of-systems infrastructure. For FY2026, management guided revenue of $3.20 billion to $3.40 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of $3.65 to $4.03, though some analysts continue to flag IRA policy uncertainty and tariff volatility as potential headwinds to that outlook.

“We had a fantastic year, exceeding our financial, technology, customer satisfaction, and market growth targets. We posted another strong bookings quarter with backlog again increasing sequentially, supported by robust demand around the globe. Our performance positions the company for further growth this year and enables continued investment in key strategic initiatives. We are also pleased to announce today the launch of our electrical balance-of-systems business with the acquisition of Bentek Corporation. As we continue to incorporate adjacent products and services around our core tracker technology, we are evolving Nextracker from a pure-play tracker supplier to a solar power platform company.”
