Did NXT Beat Earnings? Q4 2026 Results
Nextpower Inc. posted a mixed fourth quarter for fiscal 2026, with adjusted diluted EPS of $1.05 marking the company's fourth consecutive quarter beating consensus estimates, even as revenue slipped 4.7% year over year to $880.52 million amid a meaningful step-down in IRA 45X advanced manufacturing tax credit vendor rebates, which fell to roughly $47.00 million from $67.00 million a year ago. GAAP net income eased to $150.60 million from $157.81 million, weighed down by R&D spending that nearly doubled to $43.17 million, while adjusted EBITDA contracted to $201.80 million versus $242.50 million in Q4 FY25. The softer quarter stood in contrast to a strong full-year performance, with fiscal 2026 revenue reaching $3.56 billion, up 20% over the prior year, and a record backlog exceeding $5.25 billion. Looking ahead, management raised its FY2027 revenue outlook to $3.80 billion to $4.10 billion and adjusted diluted EPS guidance to $4.21 to $4.59, absorbing roughly $50.00 million in incremental costs tied to a planned acquisition targeting power conversion, battery storage, and data center markets.
- Record fiscal year revenue of $3.56 billion representing 20% YoY growth
- Record backlog exceeding $5.25 billion
- Surpassed 160 GW of cumulative tracker shipments globally
- Record eBOS quarterly bookings including over 100 MW of NX PowerMerge

“Fiscal 2026 marked a defining inflection point for Nextpower as we accelerated our evolution from the solar tracker leader over the last decade to an integrated utility-scale energy technology platform. Our core tracker business remains very strong, supported by one of the highest booking quarters in our history and expanding market leadership. We are now seeing clear, measurable traction around our platform strategy, reflected in rising adoption across eBOS, foundations, and robotics solutions, early success in bundled deployments, and growing demand for new products such as NX PowerMerge.”
