Meridian Contrarian Fund ArrowMark Partners | “American Superconductor Corp. designs and manufactures power electronics and control systems for electricity transmission, distribution, and infrastructure. End markets include electric grids, wind power, industrial, and naval. Our screening process identified the company several years ago when its largest customer at the time, a Chinese wind turbine manufacturer, stole its IP, resulting in a 75% revenue decline. Our investment thesis was that the rebuilt company, following an IP litigation victory, was in a good position to resume earnings growth with significant upside potential driven by demand for electric grid upgrades, expanding wind power, and naval program wins. While the investment has been highly profitable for the strategy overall, the stock underperformed during the quarter as growth slowed against difficult year-over-year comparisons. Having reduced the position earlier in the year, we maintained our holding during the period as we continue to see long-term growth potential from rising power demand and infrastructure investment. BSD Analysis: AMSC is a niche grid and power-control player levered to electrification bottlenecks rather than energy hype. Its technology matters most when grids are stressed, not when conditions are calm. Revenue is lumpy, which scares generalists, but relevance is structural. Defense and wind-related applications add diversification beyond utilities. Investors have long memories of past volatility and short patience for execution. If grid modernization accelerates, AMSC sits directly in the flow. This is not a smooth compounder. It's optionality tied to grid failure points.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
