Gekko Brief

AI summary

AAON shares fell 4.2% to $85.34 this week, giving back part of a run that had lifted the stock on strong Q2 results, easing Treasury yields and falling crude prices, and a wave of analyst attention. DA Davidson initiated coverage with a Buy rating and a $110 price target, citing AAON's HVAC platform and BASX data center unit growth, while Argus raised its target to $75.00. The stock was also removed from the S&P Homebuilders Select Industry Index, and coverage has focused on its order backlog and projected revenue growth alongside ongoing operational execution such as ERP rollouts and factory efficiency.

The close of $85.34 sits between the 50-day average of $85.09 and the 200-day average of $97.75, with the stock down 32.1% over three months but up 9.2% over one month. The GekkoIndex reading of 52 places the stock in the Neutral zone, down from a higher reading five days ago. Price sits 12.1% below Gekko Fair Value of $97.04.

The next earnings report is scheduled for 5 November 2026, before the open, 37 days away and outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window; the prior report on 10 August showed EPS of $0.69 against an estimate of $0.52, with a -9.5% reaction. Over the last 90 days, one open-market insider purchase totaling $74,660 has been recorded. Seasonality from this point in the calendar has averaged +6.7% over the next 20 trading days across 5 years, rising in 4 of them.

Last earnings call, Aug 10, 2026 AI summary

What they said
AAON reported a very strong Q2 2026 with record net sales of $627 million, up 101% year-over-year, driven by robust demand for both AAON and BASX brands and improved manufacturing throughput from recent capacity investments (notably the Memphis facility). BASX sales grew 216% YoY, reflecting data center demand and expanded capacity. Gross profit increased 84% to $152.5 million, though gross margin declined to 24.3% from 26.6% due to ramp-related costs, outsourcing, and inflationary price/cost timing. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA doubled to $94.2 million, and SG&A leverage improved as a percent of sales. Management highlighted operational improvements, supply chain and pricing actions, and a healthy pipeline for future data center orders despite some lumpiness in timing. They raised 2026 full-year outlook for sales and provided margin and expense guidance while noting mix and ramp pressures will weigh on near-term consolidated margins. Management emphasized long-term market opportunity, margin improvement drivers (higher utilization, productivity, pricing), and continued investments in finance and supply chain capabilities to improve forward-looking visibility and execution.
Guidance
Updated 2026 outlook: sales growth of 55% to 60%; gross margin of 25% to 26%; SG&A expense of 13% to 14% of sales; depreciation & amortization of $95M to $100M.
Risks flagged
Supply-chain constraints and inflationary cost pressures (raw materials, freight, component availability such as fans); price/cost timing lag (company behind on some pricing recovery); lumpiness and timing risk of large data-center orders; margin pressure from ramping new capacity (Memphis) and increased outsourcing; potential operational execution challenges while scaling rapidly.
