Solaris anticipates commencing power delivery in the latter part of 2026, with a gradual expansion continuing through 2028.
Regarding quarterly performance, first-quarter earnings per share came in at $0.32—representing growth from $0.14 in the prior-year period but falling one cent below consensus forecasts. Revenue presented a more encouraging picture, climbing 55% year-over-year to $196.2 million, exceeding Wall Street’s $183.4 million projection.

Solaris entered the data center power sector in 2024 through its $323 million acquisition of Mobile Energy Rentals. This strategic purchase provided the company with mobile gas turbine technology and on-site generation capabilities.
Currently, Solaris delivers primary power generation, equipment sourcing, and engineering support directly to data center operators—completely independent of traditional electrical grids. Co-CEO Bill Zartler explained during Tuesday’s earnings conference that prolonged grid interconnection timelines are driving customers toward behind-the-meter power alternatives, positioning Solaris favorably.
<blockquote>
 “The broader power market continues to reinforce and support our strategy,” Zartler stated.
</blockquote>
He further revealed that the company maintains ongoing conversations with both current clients and prospective customers regarding future projects.

<a href="https://coincentral.com/from-bitcoin-etfs-to-stablecoin-reserves-morgan-stanley-goes-all-in-on-crypto/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Morgan Stanley</a> analyst David Arcaro indicated the newest contract “strengthens” the firm’s Overweight recommendation and $81 price objective for SEI.
Arcaro projects the 600-megawatt agreement—calculated at approximately $300 per kilowatt—could generate around $450 million in value, translating to roughly $5 per share. He anticipates Solaris’s valuation multiple will expand as long-term contract visibility becomes clearer.
However, Arcaro cautioned that profit margins on extended contracts might be compressed, and the cautious third-quarter guidance could indicate uncertainty around contract ramp-up timing.
Concerning forward guidance, Solaris elevated its second-quarter adjusted EBITDA projection to a range of $83–$93 million, up from the previous $76–$84 million forecast. The company established third-quarter adjusted EBITDA guidance at $80–$95 million—with a midpoint trailing Wall Street’s $100.5 million consensus.
Executives attributed the more conservative third-quarter outlook to evolving factors in a joint venture initiative and new equipment shipments planned for the second half of 2026.
Solaris currently trades at a P/E ratio of 99.48x, mirroring heightened growth projections. The company holds a GF Score of 77/100, featuring a growth ranking of 9/10 but a financial strength assessment of only 5/10.
Insider trading patterns over the previous twelve months reveal 11 sales versus 7 purchases—a mixed signal that warrants continued monitoring.
