AMERICAN SUPERCONDUCTOR CORP /DE/ (AMSC) American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC), along with its affiliated entities, delivers robust, large-scale power infrastructure and resiliency solutions across the globe. Its operations are primarily divided into two distinct segments: Grid and Wind. The Grid segment, marketed under the Gridtec Solutions brand, supplies essential products and services designed to empower electric utilities, industrial operations, and renewable energy developers. These offerings facilitate the seamless connection, transmission, and distribution of electrical power, complemented by expert engineering and planning services. Within this segment, AMSC delivers transmission planning to diagnose issues like grid congestion, suboptimal power quality, and other systemic vulnerabilities. It provides critical grid interconnection solutions for large-scale renewable projects like wind and solar farms, alongside comprehensive power quality and transmission & distribution (T&D) cable systems. Key technologies include its D-VAR® systems for precise control of power flow and voltage within AC transmission networks, the actiVAR™ solution for rapid medium-voltage reactive compensation, and the armorVAR™ system, which enhances power quality, corrects power factor, reduces energy losses, and mitigates concerns from converter-based devices. Furthermore, D-VAR® VVO technology optimizes voltage and reactive power on the distribution network. Additionally, the Grid segment extends its expertise to naval applications, supplying advanced ship protection systems that minimize magnetic signatures, along with integrated power delivery, generation, and propulsion systems, as well as specialized transformers and rectifiers. The Wind segment, operating under the Windtec Solutions brand, focuses on designing cutting-edge wind turbine systems and subsequently licensing these innovative designs to external manufacturers. Beyond the core designs, this segment provides crucial power electronics, sophisticated software control systems, bespoke engineered solutions, and ongoing customer support for wind turbine producers. Its comprehensive design portfolio encompasses various drivetrains and power ratings, starting from 2 megawatts. Established in 1987, AMSC maintains its corporate headquarters in Ayer, Massachusetts.

American Superconductor (AMSC) Q1 Earnings Miss Estimates
zacks.com • 2mo ago SEC Filing ⚠ 8
AMSC: 10-Q · periodic report
AMSC reported fiscal Q1 2026 revenue of $94.1 million, up 30% from $72.4 million a year earlier, with GAAP net income of $9.5 million, or $0.20 diluted EPS, versus $6.7 million, or $0.17, in the prior-year quarter. Growth was driven by the Comtrafo acquisition in the Grid segment (revenue up 27% to $76.3 million) and higher electrical control system shipments in Wind (up 45% to $17.8 million).
Underlying quality was weaker: non-GAAP net income fell to $7.6 million ($0.16 diluted) from $11.6 million ($0.29) as gross margin compressed to 26% from 34%, and the Grid segment swung to a $2.2 million operating loss from a $4.2 million profit. The GAAP profit increase was driven primarily by an $8.1 million non-cash gain from the reduced fair value of the Comtrafo earnout liability.
Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2026 due to a material weakness in internal control over the preparation and fair value accounting for the Comtrafo acquisition, first identified in the fiscal 2025 10-K, with remediation underway through additional management review controls.
The balance sheet strengthened: cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash rose $5.5 million to $153.1 million, operating cash flow was $16.0 million versus $4.1 million a year ago, and remaining performance obligations total approximately $301.8 million due within twelve months plus $118.8 million due over thirteen to sixty months.

AMSC: DEF 14A · proxy statement
AMSC has scheduled its virtual annual meeting for July 31, 2026, to act on three proposals: the election of directors, the ratification of RSM US LLP as independent auditor, and an advisory vote on executive compensation. The record date for voting was June 4, 2026, with 48.4 million shares outstanding and entitled to vote. The company has appointed Arthur H.

The company reported strong fiscal 2025 performance in the proxy statement, with revenues rising 34% to $299.2 million compared to the prior year. Net income increased significantly to $133.8 million, or $3.12 per share, driven by organic growth and contributions from the December 2025 acquisition of Comtrafo. Additionally, the twelve-month backlog grew by over 40% to $282.4 million, signaling continued demand for grid products.
Executive compensation details for fiscal 2025 show CEO Daniel P. McGahn received total compensation of approximately $7.5 million, including $1.1 million in non-equity incentive pay and $5.6 million in stock awards. The proxy highlights that over 91% of shareholders supported executive pay at the previous year's meeting, and the company has implemented new performance-based restricted stock awards tied to cumulative non-GAAP net income targets.
