What Power Solutions International does

Designs alternative-fuel and diesel engines for material handling, power generation and industrial equipment.

Sells engines and power systems to equipment makers who install them in forklifts, generators and industrial machines, so orders follow those makers' production plans. It builds on engine blocks from outside producers, including General Motors, and adds its own engineering, fuel systems and software.

Products and services

  • Diesel engines
  • Power generation systems

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Industrials
  • Engines
  • Alternative-fuel industrial engines

What could go right

  • Clean/alternative fuel engine demand
  • Data center backup power generation demand

What could go wrong

  • Customer concentration in material handling
  • Regulatory and emissions compliance costs

Moat: narrow (customer qualification, process know-how). Engineered engine platforms qualified into OEM equipment lines, at smaller scale than diesel majors.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
