$INIO (INNIO) got listed on Nasdaq last week.
It is the engine room of the AI trade. It is currently trading at roughly $25B market cap.
INNIO makes reciprocating natural gas engines under two brands - Jenbacher and Waukesha. They run from 200kW up to 10 MW.
INNIO was $GE ‘s distributed power arm until Advent carved it in out 2018; in 2023, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority took a significant minority stake.
For most of its life, INNIO sold engines to microgrids, industrial cogeneration, and gas compression, and then came AI Data centers.
Hyperscalers are building their own power plants on-site, next to the building, and turning them on now. INNIO sells exactly the engine that does that.
The numbers on this shift are not subtle.
Data center equipment order intake went from $27M to $2.28B in 2025.
They have 1.5 GW agreement with VoltaGrid, around 300 engines, with delivery locked out to 2028.
INNIO isn’t really an equipment company. Services already account for roughly half of revenue, sitting on an installed base of about 44 GW under multi-year parts and maintenance contracts.
The equipment orders get the headlines, but the long-term value compounds in the service tail.
2025 revenue was $2.64B, up 22%, with $549M of adjusted EBIDTA, and $141.8M of net income.
Q1 2026 revenue grew to $668.6M, but the quarter swung to a $9M net loss v a $35M profit a year ago.
The challenge would be to convert the order book into clean margins.
It is currently trading at an expensive valuation roughly 21 to 27 times 2025 adjusted EBIDTA.
The competitive set is circling - batteries, fuel cells, and SMRs all want to the same on-site power dollar, and reciprocating gas engines are not the only answer.
The risk isn’t the demand; it’s the price you pay for it, and whether management can turn the order book into durable margins.
The bonus is one of their suppliers revealed that INNIO is tripping their capacity by 2030.
I am watching order conversion, and services margins above everything else.

$OUST : Ouster
It is evolving from a hardware-focused company toward a higher-margin ‘Physical AI’ platform.
Catalysts:
- Positioned in the expanding LiDAR market
- 13 straight quarters of product revenue increases. Q1 2026 revenue of $49M (up 49% YoY)
- Exposure to robotics, industrial automation, smart cities, and defence (And yes, automotive)
- Acquisition of StereoLabs creates a unified sensor + perception platform
- Partnerships with FieldAI, Fujifilm, DXOMARK
- NVIDIA qualification
- Improving financial health and path to profitability
- Partnerships like ARGUS Interception for counter-UAS systems
- New Rev8 digital LiDAR and integrated solutions
Risks:
- Still unprofitable with potential ongoing dilution
- Competition in LiDAR
- Valuation reflects growth but it’s not cheap
