On August 10, AAON Inc fell 5.83% in regular trading, trading at $88.87/share, with turnover of $24.35 million. The stock reversed from a pre-market gain of approximately 6.5% to a sharp intraday selloff as investors shifted focus from record revenue to deteriorating profitability metrics.
The company reported record Q2 results, with its BASX brand sales surging 72.4% to $228.6 million, reflecting robust data center cooling demand. Revenue exceeded the consensus estimate of $492 million (up 51.26% YoY), and adjusted EPS topped the expected $0.51 (up 53.63% YoY). However, the company simultaneously cut its full-year gross margin guidance from 27%-28% to 25%-26%, citing persistent cost pressures from new capacity ramp-ups, outsourced components, and inflation. While full-year revenue growth guidance was raised by 15 percentage points to 55%-60%, the margin downgrade raised concerns about near-term earnings quality erosion amid rapid scale expansion.
