On July 28, Nextpower declined 5.04% in regular trading, trading at approximately $96.16 per share, with turnover of $51.90 million. The decline came amid broad-based selling pressure across the Electrical Components & Equipment sector ahead of the company's quarterly earnings report scheduled for July 30.
The sector experienced notable weakness, with peers Vertiv Holdings falling 8.28%, nVent Electric dropping 7.07%, Eaton Corp declining 5.42%, and Hubbell losing 2.24%. The industry-wide downdraft amplified existing investor caution surrounding Nextpower's upcoming results. Market consensus expects quarterly revenue of approximately $933 million, representing 9.76% year-over-year growth, with adjusted EPS of $1.06, though EBIT is projected to decline 11.68% year-over-year.
Despite Guggenheim having upgraded Nextpower to buy with a $125 price target in mid-July, the stock has retreated significantly below that level. The company recently completed its acquisition of Prevalon Energy to enter the battery storage and AI data center markets, and announced a planned $378 million acquisition of Germany's Zimmermann PV-Steel to expand its European footprint.
