The beat on adjusted EPS and revenue, combined with record backlog and reaffirmed guidance, supports the bull case. Monitor the next quarter for margin improvement as the new facility ramps and product quality costs subside. The negative operating cash flow bears watching, but the strong backlog conversion should provide visibility.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Shoals Technologies Group reported Q2 2026 results with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.12 beating consensus of $0.10 by 20% and revenue of $163.4M beating $158.5M by 3%. Record backlog of $801.4M (up 19.4% YoY and 5.7% sequentially) and reaffirmation of raised full-year guidance ($600-640M revenue) reinforce the growth narrative. However, GAAP net income declined YoY due to margin compression (gross margin 30.3% vs 37.2%) from operational inefficiencies at the new facility and product quality costs, and operating cash flow remained negative.
