Description: POWL Powell Industries January 11, 2026
Powell Industries (NASDAQ:POWL) designs, manufactures, and services custom-engineered electrical equipment, ranging from integrated power-control substations and medium-voltage circuit breakers to monitoring-communication systems and bus-duct solutions.
The company’s end-markets span on-shore and offshore oil & gas production, LNG terminals, pipelines, refineries, petrochemicals, electric utilities, light-rail traction, mining, pulp & paper, data centers, commercial construction, as well as academic and government facilities, with operations across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific.
In FY 2023 Powell reported $1.07 billion in revenue, a 5 % year-over-year increase, and generated $115 million of operating cash flow, supporting a backlog of roughly $600 million that reflects strong demand for offshore and renewable-energy projects.
Key sector drivers include rising capital-expenditure cycles in the energy transition-particularly offshore wind and LNG infrastructure-and sustained growth in data-center power reliability requirements, both of which boost demand for high-integrity medium-voltage equipment.
