- Strong Financial Position: As of Q2 FY2026, Nextpower has no long-term debt and a cash balance of approximately $845 million, indicating a solid financial foundation in the renewable energy sector that supports future business expansion.
- Robust Backlog: Nextpower's backlog stood at around $5 billion at the end of Q2 FY2026, with projected revenue of approximately $3.5 billion for FY2026, suggesting ample work lined up primarily from its core solar tracking technology for the upcoming year.
- Reasonable Valuation: The company's price-to-sales ratio is 3.9, below its five-year average of 4.4, and its price-to-earnings ratio is 23, below the five-year average of 26, indicating a relatively fair valuation given its strong pipeline and debt-free status.
- Growth Plan Risks: While Nextpower anticipates overall revenue growth exceeding 50% from FY2026 to FY2030, its solar tracking business is projected to grow only 20%, implying that future growth will heavily rely on the successful execution of new business lines, which investors should closely monitor.
