Shortcut’s reasoning.

Mgmt guided 3Q26 net sales growth in the high-teens (17-19%) on 29-Jul-26; model sales $1,313.6m (+17.9%) sit inside the range and $10.9m below the $1,324.5m consensus (top of range).

Segment build: Residential +9.9% (outage hours rebounded vs the 2015-low 3Q25 base per PowerOutage.us, HSB price, less ESS and a small divestiture); C&I +30.5% with data center revenue of about $113m (45% of mgmt H2 $250m) and core business flat sequentially.

Mgmt guided 3Q26 adjusted EBITDA margin similar to 2Q26 excluding tariff refunds (18.7%). The model uses 19.0% (2026 quarterly guidance was beaten in 1Q and 2Q), still below the ~19.2% consensus implies. No further tariff refund is assumed.

On the record.
