Nucor earnings beat by $0.08, revenue fell short of estimates
Investing.com -- Shares of PowerCell jumped 12% following the company’s announcement of a significant follow-up order and robust fourth-quarter earnings. The Swedish energy company’s stock movement comes on the heels of reporting a stronger order book and entering serial production for the first time in its history.
In the fourth quarter, PowerCell secured a follow-up order for its Marine System 225 valued at SEK 42 million, although the company did not disclose its full order book details. Management’s commentary for 2025 was optimistic, highlighting the impact of OEM orders on growth and the expectation of more consistent revenue streams.
This positive outlook was reflected in the company’s fourth-quarter sales, which totaled SEK 144.1 million, a 13% increase compared to the same period last year.
PowerCell’s gross margin for the fourth quarter also improved, reaching 40% compared to 36.9% in the fourth quarter of the previous year. This increase was attributed to higher royalty revenues. Furthermore, operating income showed a significant turnaround, with the company reporting SEK 0.7 million, a notable recovery from a loss of SEK 8.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The company’s operating cash flow was reported at SEK 0.7 million, a substantial improvement from a negative SEK 48.7 million last year, primarily due to better working capital management.
Additionally, PowerCell’s cash position strengthened considerably, ending the quarter with SEK 237.5 million, largely due to a capital increase of SEK 182 million in the fourth quarter.
