American Superconductor shifts focus to turnkey power projects, boosting growth with $300M backlog and acquisitions.

American Superconductor (AMSC) is expanding beyond its core superconductivity products to become a turnkey power project contractor. This strategic shift is driven by strong grid investment cycles, a robust backlog exceeding $300 million, and acquisitions like Comtrafo that broaden project scope and enable earlier customer engagement. Despite recent margin pressures, AMSC expects to generate around $370 million in revenue and $40 million in normalized net income for the fiscal year, with margin improvements anticipated as integration and factory productivity advance. The company is rated Buy with a $40 per share fair value, reflecting a 30% upside potential based on backlog conversion, margin recovery, and successful integration of acquisitions.
