POWL heads into Q3 earnings with expectations for double-digit growth, supported by a strong backlog and demand across utility and energy markets.

Powell Industries shares dropped 22%, creating a compelling re-entry point given robust backlog and AI-driven demand. Q3 expectations include $1.49 adjusted EPS on $316.9 million revenue, with potential for a double beat as backlog and new orders surge. Backlog strength, especially from data center projects, is a key growth driver; Q3 backlog could exceed $2.2 billion with new orders possibly near triple-digit y/y growth.
