Itron

Itron presented at the Oppenheimer conference its shift from meter manufacturer to platform provider for grid‑edge intelligence, software, networks and services. The company reports 18 million installed decentralized endpoints (+20%), nearly 28 million licensed applications (+50%) and a record pipeline, but emphasizes that regulatory hurdles and federal decision‑making structures can delay implementation. Average selling prices for DI‑capable endpoints rose to $120–140; a balance sheet with $745 million in cash and $1.5 billion in liquidity secures room for investments and M&A. Itron continues to expect strong ARR growth but sees limited near‑term revenue impact from new orders due to long implementation timelines. » Mere på de.investing.com
