Stock Analysis

Based on 2026-08-04 data

Company Overview

Shoals Technologies Group designs electrical infrastructure solutions for energy projects, with its core business concentrated in the U.S. utility-scale solar market through BLAO products and electrical balance-of-system solutions. The company is diversifying its revenue sources through battery energy storage systems, original equipment manufacturer business, community and commercial and industrial projects, international markets, and the development of AirLink for power delivery within data centers. Revenue comes from supplying these systems and products to projects, with a growing role for higher-margin engineered solutions such as battery solutions and AirLink.

In fiscal Q2 2026, revenue reached $163.4 million, up approximately 47% year over year, and gross profit was $49.5 million, with a GAAP gross margin of 30.3%. The company recorded operating income of $18.7 million, equal to 11.5% of revenue, net income of $12.1 million, and earnings per share of $0.07; adjusted net income was $19.7 million, while adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization were $31.6 million. Despite 20% growth in gross profit, net income declined from $13.9 million in the comparable period, which included a $3.1 million gain from the sale of a manufacturing facility.

The increase was driven primarily by strong demand from new and existing customers in the U.S. utility-scale solar market, along with a meaningful contribution from energy storage; the battery business generated approximately $20 million, or about 12% of quarterly revenue. The original equipment manufacturer business grew 51% year over year, while the community and commercial and industrial business remained a small part of the mix. On a trailing-twelve-month basis in the 2026 data, revenue reached $588.1 million, gross profit was $187.7 million, and net income was $31.8 million, compared with revenue of $475.3 million and net income of $33.6 million in fiscal 2025.

What's Driving the Stock

Earnings callEDGAR filings30-day newsInsider activity

Automated analysis for informational purposes only — not investment advice.

New orders totaled approximately $207 million in fiscal Q2 2026, raising the book-to-bill ratio to 1.3 times and bringing backlog and awarded orders to a record $801.4 million, up 19% year over year and $43.4 million quarter over quarter.
  • The order base provides strong revenue visibility, with $699.7 million tied to planned delivery dates during the four quarters ending in fiscal Q2 2027, including $425.1 million of firm backlog, while $101.7 million extends into later periods.
  • On August 4, 2026, management reaffirmed fiscal 2026 revenue guidance of $600 million to $640 million, representing 30% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization guidance of $118 million to $132 million, representing 26% growth at the midpoint.
  • The battery energy storage business generated approximately $20 million in revenue and added about $10 million in orders during fiscal Q2 2026, bringing its backlog to $65 million. The TerraFlow agreement also targets potential support for deploying up to 5 gigawatts annually using Power Hub Recombiner, but management clarified that related revenue will not begin before 2027 and will not affect fiscal 2026.
  • International backlog reached $102 million, with increased quoting activity and customer engagement in Australia, while the volume of unique project bids in the core business exceeded $1 billion during the quarter. Management believes this backlog supports diversification and growth in 2027 and beyond.
  • AirLink attracted significant interest in initial customer discussions, and the company aims to install a working product for testing during 2026, with intellectual property filings completed and testing underway internally and at external laboratories. Management expects premium pricing relative to traditional busway solutions and margins above the company's business average, but the product remains in the validation and technical market-education stage.
  • Buying & Selling Case

    ▲ Buying Case4 pts

    • +The $801.4 million backlog and awarded orders provide substantial coverage relative to fiscal 2025 revenue of $475.3 million, while the addition of $207 million in orders and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.3 times support continued growth.
    • +Fiscal Q2 2026 demonstrates partial operating leverage; revenue rose 47%, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization increased 27.9% to $31.6 million, and selling, general, and administrative expenses declined to 17% of revenue from approximately 21% a year earlier.
    • +Batteries and data centers open growth paths beyond the core solar business; battery solutions generated $20 million in quarterly revenue and their backlog reached $65 million, while the ON.energy and TerraFlow partnerships connect Shoals products with energy storage projects and data center applications.
    • +Management expects margin improvement from product mix, increased productivity at the new facility, and greater fixed-cost absorption, with a target gross-margin range in the low to mid-thirties. Management also describes AirLink and battery products as engineered solutions expected to generate above-average margins.

    ▼ Selling Case6 pts

    • −Margin improvement remains dependent on complex execution within a 14-acre facility following the consolidation of three facilities into one; gross profit grew only 20% against revenue growth of 47% in fiscal Q2 2026, and gross margin was 30.3%, with pressure from tariffs and costs associated with operating the new facility.
    • −Guidance points to slowing growth after the fiscal Q2 2026 surge; the midpoint of guidance for the quarter ending September 30, 2026, implies year-over-year revenue growth of 18% and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization growth of 8%, compared with revenue growth of 47% and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization growth of 27.9% in the preceding quarter.
    • −Energy storage orders are uneven and depend on customers' construction schedules, while the extension of the backlog-conversion cycle beyond the previous six-month window could delay revenue recognition; management noted that domestic and international business shifted into fiscal Q1 of the following year.
    • −Net debt increased to $181.1 million at the end of fiscal Q2 2026, and the ratio of net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization was 1.6 times, following a significant investment in inventory and a temporary $50 million expansion of revolving credit facility capacity. The plan to reduce borrowings depends on stronger cash-flow generation and the liquidation of part of the inventory in the second half of fiscal 2026.
    • −Tariffs and policy changes, including Section 232 measures and transformer-related developments, remain sources of supply-chain and cost exposure, even though management said on August 4, 2026, that it did not expect a near-term impact on demand. The company will also incur expenses in fiscal Q3 2026 related to its district court case against Voltage, and the outcome regarding damages was not specified in the information provided.

    Valuation

    The stock carries a consensus “Buy” rating, with an average price target of $12.50 and a narrow range of $12 to $13, while the average target sits slightly below the 52-week high of $13.18 and the low is $5.43. Potential revaluation is supported by revenue growth and record backlog, but margin pressure, the growth slowdown embedded in fiscal Q3 2026 guidance, and net debt of $181.1 million provide a clear counterbalance to analysts' positive expectations.

    FAQ

    What drove Shoals' growth in fiscal Q2 2026?

    Revenue reached $163.4 million, up approximately 47% year over year, driven by demand from new and existing customers in the U.S. utility-scale solar market and by the contribution from energy storage. The battery business generated approximately $20 million in quarterly revenue, while the original equipment manufacturer business grew 51% year over year. The commercial team added approximately $207 million in orders, raising the book-to-bill ratio to 1.3 times. The quarter ended with record backlog and awarded orders of $801.4 million.

    What is Shoals' guidance for fiscal 2026?

    On August 4, 2026, management reaffirmed its expectation of fiscal 2026 revenue between $600 million and $640 million, representing 30% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. It expects adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization between $118 million and $132 million, representing 26% growth at the midpoint. It also expects operating cash flow between $65 million and $85 million, capital expenditures between $20 million and $30 million, and interest expense between $8 million and $12 million. For the quarter ending September 30, 2026, it expects revenue between $150 million and $170 million and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization between $32 million and $37 million.

    How important are the energy storage and data center businesses to Shoals?

    Battery energy storage revenue reached approximately $20 million in fiscal Q2 2026, and approximately $10 million in orders were added, bringing this business's backlog to $65 million. Management explained that most battery revenue in that quarter was tied to ON.energy and that the products are being installed at an AI-powered data center site paired with batteries. Shoals also signed a memorandum of understanding with TerraFlow to support a deployment plan of up to 5 gigawatts annually using Power Hub Recombiner. According to management on August 4, 2026, the revenue impact from TerraFlow will not begin before 2027.

    Can Shoals improve its gross margin?

    GAAP gross margin was 30.3%, and adjusted gross margin was 30.6% in fiscal Q2 2026. Management expects sequential improvement supported by a more favorable mix of traditional BLAO products, increased productivity at the new facility, and greater fixed-cost absorption. Management set a target gross-margin range in the low to mid-thirties during fiscal 2026. However, execution remains tied to completing the consolidation of three facilities into one and addressing the effects of tariffs and variations in product mix.

    What is Shoals' liquidity and debt position?

    The company generated $6.8 million in operating cash in fiscal Q2 2026 and ended the period with $15.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net debt was $181.1 million, while the ratio of net debt to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization reached 1.6 times. The company also temporarily expanded its revolving credit facility capacity by $50 million to finance business growth. Management expects inventory reduction and the generation of between $65 million and $85 million in cash flow during fiscal 2026 to provide liquidity to repay part of the facility.

    What does AirLink represent in Shoals' strategy?

    AirLink is a product designed to deliver power to data center racks, and management described it on August 4, 2026, as a solution that changes the traditional method of power delivery. The company aims to install a working unit for testing during 2026, with intellectual property filings completed and internal and external laboratory testing underway. Management expects the product to command a price premium over available busway options and generate a margin above the company's average. However, its adoption requires a period of education for engineers, installers, and local inspectors, so the company did not provide an expected revenue figure for it within fiscal 2026 guidance.

    Net insider selling of 104,100 shares during the three months ending with the latest transaction on June 16, 2026, is a weak trading signal rather than independent evidence of business deterioration; insider sales may be prearranged unless disclosures state otherwise.
