Factors to Consider

American Superconductor’s well-performing Grid business is likely to have driven the fiscal third-quarter performance courtesy of strengthening D-VAR shipments to industrial and renewable applications.

D-VAR products that connect wind farms to the transmission grid are expected to have gained momentum in the renewable field during the to-be-reported quarter.

Further, these products aid in stabilizing electrical power in semiconductor manufacturing. This is likely to have aided the company’s momentum across sensitive industrial operations in the fiscal third quarter.

Additionally, robust VVO products are likely to have benefited the company in gaining traction among the utility customers in the quarter under review, which in turn is expected to have driven Grid revenues.

Further, accelerating REG revenues on the back of REG deployment project are anticipated to have contributed to the fiscal third-quarter performance.

Apart from these, American Superconductor’s strengthening presence in India on the back of its 3-megawatt class product, is likely to have benefited its performance in the quarter under review.

Moreover, its strengthening relationship with Inox in India owing to its 2-megawatt onshore product is expected to get reflected in the fiscal third quarter results.

However, sluggishness in the company’s Wind business is likely to have affected the fiscal third-quarter performance.
