PowerFleet

PowerFleet reported Q1 revenue of $110.8 million, up 6.4% year over year, and adjusted EBITDA of $21.5 million as services revenue and margins expanded despite a product-revenue delay from a component issue. Management said a South African National Treasury contract has scaled faster than expected, with more than 70,000 vehicle installations to deploy and potential to reach 80,000–90,000, prompting resource reprioritization. As a result, fiscal 2027 guidance was reduced to $468–473 million in revenue and $111–114 million in adjusted EBITDA, with a projected net loss of $6–8 million and lower free cash flow. Leadership changes include Paul Lalljie as president and CFO and Vishal Vallabha as chief AI officer to support the company's AI-first strategy. » More on finance.yahoo.com

PowerFleet reported Q1 revenue of $104.12 million, missing the consensus estimate of $115.73 million, while adjusted EPS of -$0.01 was slightly better than expected. Management cut the 2027 full-year guidance (revenue now $468–473 million; adjusted EBITDA $111–114 million), citing a redeployment of resources for a large government rollout in South Africa and supply issues with a Wi‑Fi component. Adjusted EBITDA and margins improved, but investors focused on the revenue shortfall and guidance cut, sending the stock down roughly 25% in premarket trading. » More on de.investing.com
