Description: POWL Powell Industries November 08, 2025

Powell Industries (NASDAQ:POWL) designs, manufactures, and services custom-engineered electrical equipment ranging from 480 V to 38 kV, including power control substations, medium-voltage circuit breakers, motor control centers, and arc-resistant switchgear. The firm also offers field services, spare-parts retrofits, and replacement breakers for on-shore and offshore assets across oil & gas, petrochemical, utilities, data centers, and industrial markets.

In FY 2023 the company reported revenue of roughly $1.2 billion with an operating margin near 9 %, reflecting steady demand from capital-intensive sectors. A key growth driver is the global push for infrastructure upgrades and the energy transition, which is boosting orders for high-voltage, reliable equipment in both traditional (e.g., LNG terminals) and emerging (e.g., renewable-energy grid integration) markets. The backlog at year-end stood at about 1.5 × annual revenue, indicating a solid order pipeline, while the U.S. Midwest and Middle-East regions contributed the highest year-over-year sales growth (≈12 %).
