EnerSys

EnerSys makes the big batteries that keep data centres, phone networks, forklifts and military equipment running when the power fails or the plug is out.

Our viewNeutral Medium conviction
The scores
The profile · 1-4
Growth2/4 →

Revenue grew about 2% a year over fiscal 2024-2026 with an acquisition inside it; forklift batteries, nearly half of sales, are shrinking.

Business quality2/4 ↓

A service network and installed base, but lead batteries are substitutable and lithium from Asian cells is taking forklifts; retention is the company's own figure.

Financial position3/4 →

Net leverage 0.8 times and $468M of free cash flow; $300M of notes fall due in December 2027 and refinance in a normal market.

Execution record3/4 →

Beat EPS eight quarters running and cut costs as promised, but missed revenue once on forklifts and shrank the lithium plant to a quarter.

Per share capture4/4 ↑

Diluted shares fell from 41.4M to 37.6M in two years on buybacks paid from cash; the dividend rose 10%.

Potential2/4 →

Data centre orders and defence rules point up, but orders are not sales, the lithium lines have no revenue, and the market size is management's.

Risk profile3/4 →

No customer above 10%, but a third or more of earnings depends on one law, the 45X credit, which phases out and could be changed.

Valuation3/4 →

About 15 times segment profit once the credit is valued apart; that pays for the core growing with its markets, management's plan, not more.

Evidence quality3/4 →

Statements, segments and the credit's law are filed or official, but data centre orders, retention and the lithium products rest on management.

The Verdict

We rate EnerSys Neutral. It is a steady, mixed-quality battery maker: about 11 cents of operating profit per sales dollar, but sales have grown only about 2% a year. The price looks cheap on reported earnings, yet about two-fifths of last year's adjusted earnings came from a US tax credit that shrinks from 2030 and ends after 2032. Without the credit the price is fair, about 15 times what the businesses earn, and that needs steadier growth than the record shows. Data centre orders and defence demand are the reasons not to call it unattractive; neither is in the sales yet.

The long caseData centres and the military need reliable batteries made in America, and EnerSys already makes them.

About two-fifths of last year's adjusted earnings and over half of GAAP net earnings came from a credit that steps down from 2030 and ends after 2032, so a large share of today's profit has an end date within seven years.
derivedAdjusted net earnings of $244.4M without the credit against $10.56 x 38.1M = $402M with it, so the credit was about 39%; GAAP $135.0M against $293.6M, so 54% (C04). Phase-down from CRS (C13) and management's own range (C14).
against this
  • Management plans to lift US output to half its batteries, which could raise the yearly credit through 2029 (C14).

At $170.61 the company is valued at about $6.9B. Less about $0.56B for the credits still to come, the rest is about 15 times the segments' trailing $413M of adjusted operating profit, a 5% after-tax yield that needs about 3% growth a year for ever.
derived37.6M diluted shares x $170.61 = $6.42B, plus $1,039.0M of debt less $530.7M of cash = $6.93B (S11, S04). Credits at management's midpoints, $165M a year for fiscal 2027-2029 and $80M for 2030-2032, discounted at 10% = about $0.56B (C14). Segment adjusted operating earnings Q2 fiscal 2026 to Q1 fiscal 2027: NIS $167.7M, IMS $175.2M, PPS $69.7M = $412.6M (S03, S05). $6.37B / $412.6M = 15.4 times; at 21% tax the yield is 5.1%, which at an 8% required return implies about 3% growth.
against this
  • The panel's fiscal 2027 EPS of $13.34 puts the shares at 12.8 times earnings, which reads cheap because it includes the credit (S11).

The company

When the power fails, a data centre or a phone tower runs on batteries until the generator starts. EnerSys makes those batteries, mostly lead-acid, including a fast-charging type called TPPL. It also makes the batteries and chargers inside electric forklifts, truck batteries, and batteries for missiles, soldiers and military vehicles.

Its rivals are other lead-acid makers, and increasingly lithium battery packs built from Asian cells. EnerSys has started selling its own lithium products, but most of its sales are still lead.

C01facthigh confidence
EnerSys makes industrial batteries, mostly lead-acid including its thin plate pure lead (TPPL) range, plus chargers, power systems and service, for telecom and data centre backup, forklifts, trucks and defence. It sells to more than 10,000 customers, none above 10% of sales. Since 28 May 2026 it reports three segments: Network & Infrastructure Solutions (NIS), Industrial Mobility Solutions (IMS) and Precision Power Solutions (PPS).

How it makes money

It sells batteries, replaces them when they wear out, and services them. Network and data centre power was 44% of fiscal 2026 sales, forklifts and trucks 46%, and defence 10%. Each kept about 9 to 18 cents of operating profit per sales dollar, defence the most.

On top of that, the US government pays a production credit for every battery made in America. It is booked as a lower cost and was $158.6M in fiscal 2026.

Who runs it

Shawn O'Connell, who joined in 2011 and ran the forklift business, became chief executive in May 2025; Andrea Funk has been finance chief since 2022. Directors and officers own about 1% of the shares.

Their bonus pays mostly on adjusted operating profit, which includes the tax credit, so part of their pay rests on a subsidy. Insider trading was small: the finance chief bought a few shares in May 2026.

Why it wins, and who could beat it

Why customers come back

EnerSys has a large base of batteries already installed and about 750 service staff. A warehouse or a phone company that runs its batteries usually replaces like with like, and the company says over 90% of customers stay.

That hold is weakening where lithium arrives. An outside forecaster says lithium is passing lead in electric forklifts around 2026, though lithium's repair and service network is less mature. EnerSys's forklift sales fell 3% last year.

How big it could get

How big this could get

Management puts the markets it serves at about $26B a year, so EnerSys's sales are about a seventh of it; nobody outside the company measures this. Two outside numbers show which way the parts move. The US Department of Energy expects data centres to use 6.7% to 12% of US electricity by 2028, up from 4.4% in 2023. In forklifts, lithium should pass 70% of batteries by 2034, a market lead-acid is losing.

Growth has not widened the margin. Profit per sales dollar sat near 10 to 11 cents while sales grew about 2% a year, and what improvement came was from closing plants and cutting about a tenth of the staff, not from selling more.

In the quarter to 5 July 2026 sales rose 4.8%, mostly on higher prices rather than more batteries. Defence sales grew 23.6% and network power 9.4%, while forklift and truck sales fell 3.2%.

Profits looked better than they were. Without the US credit and a one-off $30.9M tariff refund, earnings per share were $1.78, against $3.66 reported on the company's adjusted basis. Management guided next quarter's sales to $955M to $995M.

What it did to the thesisIt showed the core still edging forward on price rather than volume, with defence and network power growing and forklifts shrinking. It left open the two questions the view turns on: whether forklift demand recovers, and what the businesses earn without the credit.

The next test is the second-quarter report on 4 November, against the company's own guide. Further out, a ban on Defense Department purchases of batteries from six Chinese makers starts in October 2027, which could send more military orders to US plants like EnerSys's.

of today's market value: the rest of the company, less its debt
How we read the multiple

Buyers pay about $6.9B for the company. Forecast earnings look cheap, but include a credit worth about $0.56B today that ends after 2032.

Taking that out, and asking for 5 cents of after-tax profit per dollar paid, a common rule of thumb for a slow-growing business, EnerSys must:

  1. Earn about $413M of operating profit a year, what its businesses earned last year.
  2. Grow that by about 3% a year, for ever.
  3. Beat its record: sales grew about 2% a year over the last two years.

Against its own history. Its own normal includes years when the credit did not exist, so the gap mostly measures how much of today's earnings the credit supplies.

The evidence under this - 4 claims

At $170.61 the company is valued at about $6.9B. Less about $0.56B for the credits still to come, the rest is about 15 times the segments' trailing $413M of adjusted operating profit, a 5% after-tax yield that needs about 3% growth a year for ever.
derived37.6M diluted shares x $170.61 = $6.42B, plus $1,039.0M of debt less $530.7M of cash = $6.93B (S11, S04). Credits at management's midpoints, $165M a year for fiscal 2027-2029 and $80M for 2030-2032, discounted at 10% = about $0.56B (C14). Segment adjusted operating earnings Q2 fiscal 2026 to Q1 fiscal 2027: NIS $167.7M, IMS $175.2M, PPS $69.7M = $412.6M (S03, S05). $6.37B / $412.6M = 15.4 times; at 21% tax the yield is 5.1%, which at an 8% required return implies about 3% growth.

Priced against its rivals

None of the listed rivals above sells the same thing to the same buyers as a large part of what it does. A price comparison needs at least two, so the price is judged against its own history instead.

Private or foreign rivals that cannot be priced: East Penn Manufacturing Co., Stryten Energy (formerly Exide Technologies' US business), C&D Technologies, Inc., Saft, GS Yuasa Corporation, Delta Electronics, Inc., Hoppecke, Fiamm, Midac, Sunlight, TAB, Banner, Atlas, Eternity, New Power and OmniOn Power, Clarios, EaglePicher Technologies, Jule, Tritium and ABB.

The bet: what it pays if it works

The bet is EnerSys's new lithium products: DataSafe Noir cabinets for data centres, Fortix storage for warehouses, and a small defence cell factory. Noir has orders but no sales yet, and the factory starts construction in fiscal 2028.

Nothing yet supports a revenue figure, so there is no upside we can count. If it fails, no current profit is lost, but years of its own cash go into the plant, and the price already sits above what we think the existing businesses are worth.

The steps it has to take

  • Done DataSafe Noir launched to data centre customers
  • Done Fortix storage approved under UL and NFPA 855
  • Slipped Cell plant built at its first planned size due 2030-09
  • Not started First Noir revenue recognised due 2028-03

Where we disagree with the market

The market believes

A cheap industrial at about 13 times next year's earnings, with strong cash flow and data centres and defence to grow into.

We believe

About two-fifths of those earnings are a tax credit with an end date; without it the price is fair, not cheap.

The market prices the earnings the company reports, and those beat forecasts eight quarters running. We think the credit should be valued as what it is, a payment that shrinks from 2030, and the rest valued as a slow-growing battery business.

Against us: management plans to make more of its batteries in America, which could raise the credit until 2029, and data centre orders rose over 80%, which could lift growth above the record.

What could go wrong, and how we would know

The risks

  • Lithium takes forklifts Lithium is passing lead in electric forklifts, and forklift makers fit their own packs, so EnerSys's largest business could keep shrinking.
  • The credit can change A third or more of earnings rests on one law; Congress has already added limits once and could cut it sooner.
  • Orders are not sales Data centre orders are lumpy, deliver over up to three years, and are not given as a dollar figure in any filing.
  • The lithium plan keeps shrinking The cell plant was cut to a quarter or less of its first size, and its output arrives years from now.
  • Debt due in 2027 $300M of bonds fall due in December 2027; refinancing is routine in a normal market but costs more now.
