On August 24, Powell Industries declined 5.06% in regular trading, trading at $187.51/share, with turnover of $9.54 million. The stock remains under sustained selling pressure following a disappointing fiscal Q3 earnings report released earlier this month.
Powell Industries posted fiscal Q3 earnings per share of $1.42, missing the FactSet consensus estimate of $1.57. Revenue came in at $312 million, also below the market expectation of $315.2 million. Net income for the quarter was $52 million. Prior to the report, analysts had anticipated approximately 4.5% year-over-year revenue growth and roughly 16.8% EPS growth, making the actual results a notable disappointment.
Sector-wide weakness in the Electrical Components & Equipment space has compounded the pressure on individual names. Vertiv Holdings fell 3.8%, Eaton Corp declined 2.26%, and Vicor dropped 4.45%, reflecting broadly subdued industry sentiment that has intensified selling pressure on Powell shares since the earnings release.
