After (deep-dive-2026-10-05.md): The operating story strengthened again (Q2 record orders $12.0bn, Electrification orders +58% comp, backlog $30.0bn, FY guide raised twice), but the stock is dearer than the last dossier said — ~36x trailing continuing EPS and ~30x our FY27 EPS estimate, not the ~23x forward an aggregator showed — and the market sold the Q2 beat-and-raise 5.9%. Quality franchise, full price; the 20 Oct print has to show margin progress, not just orders.dossier

After (deep-dive-2026-09-25.md): The June dossier's "priced for flawless execution" warning came true — two FY26 guidance cuts in six weeks (revenue $3.4B → $2.4B, adj. EBITDA +$50M → −$200M), a 5.1% gross margin and a stock down ~68% to ~$7.5 — but demand did not break (record $6.4B backlog, $850M of first data-center orders). The question has moved from "will demand show up" to "can Fluence build and fund what it has already sold." WATCHING / LOW / 1Y.dossier

After (deep-dive-2026-09-25.md): Earnings went up and the stock went nowhere. FY26 guidance is raised to $11.50–12.50, the co-location ruling the June dossier called the binary broke CEG's way, and Crane is on schedule for the second half of 2027. The shares are about where they were in June, and now trade at ~19x next year's consensus earnings against ~26x forward in June. What the market is now pricing is the balance sheet ($24B of debt after Calpine) and PJM politics, not the AI-power story.dossier

After (deep-dive-2026-09-25.md): The lithium price held and the stock did not. Lithium is still near $20/kg, the price at which Albemarle guides $2.4–2.6B of EBITDA and says it is tracking the high end. The shares fell from ~$170 to ~$117 (−31%) anyway. At ~8× trailing EBITDA the market is pricing a relapse toward $15/kg. The June dossier said to wait for a pullback, and this is the pullback. What stops it from being an easy call is a sequentially weaker Q3, a CEO handover in February, and a larger conversion dilution than June assumed.dossier
