FLNC ~−18–22%: Houston ramp delays — FY26 guide cut to ~$2.4B / ~$200M EBITDA loss

[LondonNewsTrader]

Battery-storage name into a second guidance cut — execution tape, not a demand story.

PR/8-K (16 Sep): Fluence (FLNC) cut FY26 revenue guide to ~$2.4B from prior midpoint ~$3.0B and widened Adj. EBITDA loss to ~$200M from ~$10M midpoint. Primary blame: continued delays ramping the Houston contract manufacturing facility; management still says demand and the international supply chain are fine. Replay of the Wed 5:00 p.m. ET call is available today on the IR site. Premarket/session reaction roughly −18% to −22% vs Wed close (~$9.05 → ~$7s), heavy relative volume.

Scalper read: this is backlog-to-cash / plant-ramp risk in the storage complex after GNRC’s AI-power spike — don’t mash FLNC with the Amazon gens narrative. Watch whether the open flush fades or the name keeps selling on every bounce; size vs liquidity, not the headline alone.

Fading the gap into cash, or waiting for a VWAP reclaim before touching longs?
Any peer bleed (storage/power hardware) worth watching off this print?
