Flux Power guides Q1 2027 revenue to $6M-$7M, enters robotics testing

Flux Power Holdings guided first quarter fiscal 2027 revenue to $6 million to $7 million, below analysts' $8.05 million, while announcing entry into robotics testing with more than 70 batteries deployed. CEO Krishna Vanka said fourth quarter fiscal 2026 revenue rose 25% sequentially to $8.2 million, beating estimates, but fell from $16.7 million a year earlier due to a key material handling customer's capital freeze and tariff-related pressures. The company also received official certification from Hyster-Yale Materials Handling for all Class 1, 2, and 3 forklifts and launched its AI-driven SkyEMS 3.0 platform. CFO Kevin Royal said second quarter fiscal 2027 revenue should rebound to $8 million to $9 million, and gross margin should return above 30% once quarterly revenue exceeds $12 million. Cash and cash equivalents ended the quarter at $0.3 million.

Hyster-Yale Q2 bookings rise 17% sequentially to $680 million

Hyster-Yale reported second-quarter results showing further signs of a gradual recovery in the lift truck market. Bookings rose 17% sequentially to $680 million, the highest quarterly level in three years, while revenue increased 2% to $813 million and the operating loss narrowed to $18 million. Management said customer delivery timing and production changes tied to tariff mitigation are expected to shift a larger portion of the recovery into the latter part of 2026, and the company still expects a moderate operating loss for full-year 2026. Cost initiatives including restructuring, sourcing changes and manufacturing-footprint optimization are expected to deliver significant savings, and Bolzoni returned to profitability. The company projects trailing 12-month EBITDA to exceed pre-COVID levels in the second half of 2027.

Hyster-Yale Materials Handling Faces Revenue, Cash Flow, and Debt Concerns

Hyster-Yale Materials Handling is flagged for underperformance due to three key weaknesses. The company's annualized revenue growth of 5.8% over the past five years fell short of industrials sector standards. It broke even on free cash flow over the same period, limiting reinvestment and shareholder returns. Additionally, with negative $26.3 million in EBITDA over the last 12 months and debt of $359.1 million exceeding its $81.8 million cash balance, the company's financial position raises solvency risks. The stock trades at $31.70 per share, or 11.4 times forward EV-to-EBITDA, suggesting optimism is already priced in.

Zacks Highlights 3 Construction & Mining Equipment Stocks Braving Industry Headwinds

Zacks Investment Research identifies Caterpillar, Terex, and Hyster-Yale as three construction and mining equipment stocks well-positioned to navigate rising costs and supply-chain disruptions. The industry faces persistent inflation, with the U.S. annual rate hitting 4.25% in May 2026, and logistics bottlenecks, yet benefits from a recovering manufacturing sector, increased U.S. infrastructure spending, and mining demand tied to the energy transition. Caterpillar, carrying a Zacks Rank #1, reported a record $63 billion backlog and raised its 2026 sales growth outlook to low double-digits, while Terex completed its merger with REV Group, adding a Specialty Vehicles segment that generated $436 million in first-quarter 2026 sales. Hyster-Yale expects stronger bookings and pricing actions to drive a recovery in the second half of 2026, leading to a modest full-year operating profit. Over the past year, the Zacks Manufacturing - Construction and Mining industry has surged 135.5%, outperforming the broader market.
