Powell Industries shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q4 revenue results.

Powell Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POWL#NASDAQ">POWL</a>) shares are trading lower on Wednesday after the company reported fourth-quarter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/g42074697/powell-industries-announces-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-fiscal-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">results after the markets closed on Tuesday</a>.
Revenues surged 32% year over year to $275 million, which missed the consensus of $286.49 million.
The revenue growth was led by the Petrochemical sector (+112% Y/Y), Oil &amp; Gas sector (+23% Y/Y), and Commercial &amp; Other Industrial sector (+66% Y/Y).
New orders rose to $267 million from $171 million a year ago, driven by strong&nbsp;demand in the Oil &amp; Gas, Petrochemical, and Electric Utility sectors.
Gross profit increased 55% Y/Y to $80 million, with a margin of 29.2% vs. 24.9% a year ago quarter. EPS&nbsp;of $3.77&nbsp;surpassed <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $3.55</a>.
Brett A. Cope, Powell&#8217;s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, &#8220;We experienced tremendous growth in our largest markets, with our top line growing by 45% in fiscal 2024. We continue to execute at a high standard for both our customers and our shareholders as reflected by our gross margin, which improved 590 basis points compared to the prior year.&#8221;
&#8221;Having recorded our second consecutive year of more than $1.0 billion in new orders, we continue to grow in our traditional markets of oil &amp; gas, petrochemical and electrical utilities, while further diversifying in markets such as data centers, hydrogen, carbon capture and other alternative fuels.&#8221;
As of September 30, 2024, cash and short-term investments totaled $358 million. Backlog remained steady at $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2024, consistent with levels at both June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023.
Michael Metcalf, Chief Financial Officer, said, &#8220;As we look ahead to fiscal 2025, we expect continued strength across most of our end markets spanning across all of the geographies that we compete in.&#8221;
&#8221;We are pleased with our fiscal 2024 results and remain focused on carrying forward the strong operational execution and commercial momentum that we have experienced this year, into fiscal 2025.&#8221;
&#8221;Notwithstanding our seasonally slower fiscal first quarter, considering the healthy backdrop, robust backlog, strong liquidity, and a solid balance sheet, we anticipate that fiscal 2025 will be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">another successful year for Powell.</a>&#8220;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Innovator IBD 50 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFTY#NYSE">FFTY</a>) and Tidal ETF Trust Aztlan Global Stock Selection DM SMID ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZTD#NYSE">AZTD</a>).

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Powell Industries has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Powell Industries's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Powell Industries's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.60%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Unmasking the Significance of Insider Transactions</h3>
While insider transactions provide valuable information, they should be part of a broader analysis in making investment decisions.
In the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.

A Closer Look at Powell Industries's Options Market Dynamics

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trump Will Fix It&nbsp;</h3>
In my previous post (<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-11-06/post-trump-victory-trade">The Post-Trump Victory Trade</a>), I highlighted a half dozen stocks in which my subscribers and I had positions that had double digit gains the day after Trump&#8217;s election victory. In response, a commenter wrote, &#8220;Well, I didn&#8217;t like any of those trades, so I will stick to my Gold and Silver.&#8221;.&nbsp;
As it happened, the day after Trump&#8217;s victory, was also the day of the &#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/the-market-ear/great-gold-puke">Great Gold Puke</a>&#8220;, as The Market Ear put it:&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><h3 class="wp-block-heading">All good things&#8230;</h3>
&#8230;.must come to an end. Gold is puking, putting in the biggest down candle in forever as it breaks below the short term trend channel. The 50 day comes in around $2635, and the bigger trend line around $2600.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="532" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-1024x532.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3141" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-1024x532.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-300x156.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold-768x399.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/08195017/Gold.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> 
<cite>Refinitiv</cite></blockquote>
Why would gold tumble after Trump&#8217;s victory? Perhaps there&#8217;s a clue in the Trump campaign&#8217;s slogan, &#8220;Trump will fix it&#8221;. One of the things Trump will fix is the elevated geopolitical risk the world has seen over the last few years, starting with the Russia-Ukraine War, and extending to the wars in the Mideast between Israel and Hamas, and Israel and Iran, and tensions between China and Taiwan.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Geopolitical Risk Is Already Starting To Ebb</h3>
The geopolitical risk premium is a key factor influencing the price of precious metals like gold and silver, as they are traditionally seen as a haven during times of instability and war. Given that, note what has happened since Trump&#8217;s victory:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Hamas <a href="https://x.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1854516506169585796">has called for</a> an end to its war with Israel. </li>
<li>Russian President Vladimir Putin&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/putin-praises-courageous-trump-hints-ukraine-talks-phone-call-likely">has congratulated Trump</a>&nbsp;on his victory, praised Trump&#8217;s bravery during the first assassination attempt on him, and expressed an openness toward talks aimed at ending the Ukraine war. Peace between the U.S. and Russia would facilitate peace in the Mideast and elsewhere, given Russia&#8217;s ties to Iran, China, and other key countries.&nbsp;</li>
<li>China&#8217;s President Xi <a href="https://x.com/XHNews/status/1854396381982830623">also extended congratulations</a> and an olive branch to Trump.</li>
</ul>
If Trump succeeds in ending the wars in Eastern Europe and the Mideast, and calming tensions across the Taiwan Strait, that would further reduce gold&#8217;s geopolitical risk premium.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Deflationary Potential Of Trump&#8217;s Domestic Policies </h3>
You&#8217;re probably thinking now that even if peace starts to break out, high inflation is baked into the cake because of government spending, and that should boost the price of gold. Consider, though, the deflationary potential of Trump&#8217;s proposed policies, and those of his close allies.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Trump&#8217;s tariffs. Critics of tariffs often point out that they are, effectively, a regressive tax on domestic consumers. This is actually true, and like all regressive taxes, they are deflationary. Just as throwing money and low income Americans boosted inflation during COVID, an effective regressive tax on them would cool inflation.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Trump&#8217;s deportations.&nbsp;Deporting millions of illegal aliens&#8211;or deporting a smaller number and prompting millions more to self-deport&#8211;will have a deflationary effect on sectors such as housing, as there will be fewer consumers competing for the same number of homes.&nbsp;</li>
<li>RFK, Jr.&#8217;s campaign against chronic disease. Every case of diabetes and other chronic diseases RFK, Jr. can prevent with changes to American food policy means a reduction of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in health care spending. That would cool healthcare inflation.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Elon Musk&#8217;s Department Of Government Efficiency. Elon Musk has spoken about slashing the number of federal employees (something Vivek Ramaswamy pointed out could be done while avoiding Civil Service regulations) and cutting government waste. That would be deflationary too.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Much Of This Is Likely To Happen&nbsp;</h3>
We all remember how Trump was stymied in his first term, but he is in a much stronger position now. He won a landslide victory, and is now the undisputed leader of the Republican Party. Plus, he has much smarter, and more competent people on his side now, such as Elon Musk. None of this is particularly good for gold and silver prices.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Taking My Own Counsel&nbsp;</h3>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Post-Trump Victory Trade We&#8217;re Buying Now</h2>
Trump&#8217;s victory means China is going to have to stimulate its economy more aggressively (because it won&#8217;t be able to export as much to the U.S. with Trump&#8217;s tariff).&nbsp;

After Trump's Win, It's Time To Take Profits On Gold

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Day After</h3>
I wrote a post on ZeroHedge this morning ("<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-11-06/victory">Trump Victory</a>") which included a number of reactions to Trump's astonishing victory last night. Trump became the first President to win in non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland, 127 years ago. Here, I'll confine myself to some market-related comments.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Betting Markets</h3>
In&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/betting-on-the-election">a post</a>&nbsp;here a couple of weeks ago, I wrote about betting on the election.
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/betting-on-the-election"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="917" height="626" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084434/Betting-On-The-Election--1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3043" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084434/Betting-On-The-Election--1.jpg 917w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084434/Betting-On-The-Election--1-300x205.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084434/Betting-On-The-Election--1-768x524.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 917px) 100vw, 917px" /></a></figure>
I mentioned that I had Trump to win at 44 cents on PredictIt, and a couple of bets on a new site,&nbsp;<a href="http://kalshi.com/sign-up/?referral=0297c7e8-2fe6-4b35-8f98-0366b8795934">Kalshi</a>:
<ol>
<li>Trump to win Wisconsin at 52%.</li>
<li>Republicans to win the White House, House, and Senate at 47%.</li>
</ol>
After that post, I added a few additional bets. One was "Kamala No" on PredictIt, when that dropped to 48 cents. I cashed out of my PredictIt bets at 97 cents and 98 cents, respectively, for gains of a little over 100% before PredictIt's 5% exit fee.
Trump won Wisconsin; all the House races haven't settled yet, but it looks like our Republican sweep bet will cash too.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks Benefiting From The Trump Win</h3>
Six names we have positions in posted double-digit gains the day after Trump's win:
 Centrus Energy Corp.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEU#NYSE">LEU</a>). This is a uranium name we opened a call spread on last week.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-the-nuclear-option"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="882" height="606" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084722/The-Nuclear-Option.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3044" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084722/The-Nuclear-Option.jpg 882w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084722/The-Nuclear-Option-300x206.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07084722/The-Nuclear-Option-768x528.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 882px) 100vw, 882px" /></a></figure>
Robinhood Markets, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>). That was the crypto-related name in our Nuclear Option post above, and our trade was buying the $32 strike calls on it for $2.30. Those calls were trading at $4.90 as of Wednesday's close. 
Bit Digital, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BTBT#NASDAQ">BTBT</a>). That's the Bitcoin miner with operations in Ethereum staking and AI that was one of our two lottery tickets in this post in September.&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-two-lottery-tickets"></a>
Tesla, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>). We opened another trade on Tesla earlier this week. That was the less-contrarian trade in this post. Our Tesla trade is a call spread which will generate a 300% gain if Tesla closes above $350 per share at the end of next year.&nbsp;

Emergent BioSolutions, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EBS#NYSE">EBS</a>). Our trade here was buying the $9 strike calls expiring on December 20th for $2.05. EBS beat earnings on Wednesday and was up 24.46% after hours.&nbsp;

Powell Industries, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/POWL#NASDAQ">POWL</a>). Our most recent trade here was a call spread betting on POWL being above $300 by next May. It closed at $347 today.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-top-names-879"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="885" height="595" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07085455/POWL.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-3047" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07085455/POWL.jpg 885w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07085455/POWL-300x202.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/07085455/POWL-768x516.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px" /></a></figure>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Stocks That Tumbled The Day After</h2>
<ol>
<li>Super Micro Computer, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>). That was the contrarian trade mentioned in the same post with Tesla above. Our bet was that most of the bad news was in the rearview. So there was a good chance the stock would bounce after earnings on Tuesday. Unfortunately, they didn't offer any timeline about getting a new auditor and the stock plummeted on Wednesday.</li>
<li>Rivian Automotive, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>). This EV maker was in a number of analysts "Harris basket" of stocks. Meanwhile, they had Tesla in their Trump baskets, and it plummeted about 9% after Trump won. We opened a position in this one back in April, buying the $15 strike calls expiring in January for $1.84. Fortunately, we sold half of those calls at $5.55 in July, for a 202% gain. So we are playing with the house's money on this one. And the company reports earnings after the close on Thursday. Maybe they'll have some good news then. </li>
