How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Aaron confirmed multiyear exclusive U.S. engine supply agreement (small legacy exceptions). Discussing potential U.S. engine production (cohabitated/joint investment). Enercon solves packaging bottleneck. Multi-sourcing alternators and cooling packages.
Calendar 2025 Q4
can you just maybe talk a little bit about the competitive environment, how that may be changing
Show response
Aaron noted no new diesel genset entrants due to engine manufacturing barriers. Supply chain expanding beyond engines to alternators, cooling, packaging. Leveraging residential-side agility DNA for demand surge management.
Calendar 2025 Q3
if you could just sort of help us work through all the moving parts here
Show response
Aaron framed 2026: resi grows well on easy comps + new product pricing + dealer adds + improved close rates. Energy tech off somewhat from DOE loss but ecobee strong. C&I tremendous with $300M+ backlog shipping.
Calendar 2025 Q2
There's -- at least to me, it appears to be a little bit of a change in tone here around your willingness to continue to invest in the inverter market over the long term
Show response
Aaron acknowledged market will contract 20-50% but framed subsidy removal as long-term positive. York quantified H1 drag at 300-400 bps, full year 300-350 bps. Still targeting profitable energy tech by 2027.
Calendar 2025 Q1
I'm just curious if you can share any anecdotes, any data as to what you may be seeing on the ground day that may lead you to believe that we'll see a softening
Show response
Aaron acknowledged price elasticity dampens demand at margins but emphasized outages drive reprioritization. Consumer hanging in so far but 60-90 days critical for clarity.
Calendar 2024 Q4
how much margin dilution the total energy tech business will have overall on Generac Holdings Inc. and whether you still expect that to get to breakeven potentially in 2026
Show response
York quantified dilution improving to 3-3.5% in 2025. Aaron acknowledged the policy landscape is shifting and full profitability timeline may push out 12-18 months.
SMRNuScale Power Corporation6 questions · 3 reporting periods · 0 of 6 challenging
Calendar 2026 Q2
Can you just sort of talk about what compelled that to move up to $800 million relative to last quarter?
Show response
CFO explained the increase as a treasury reclassification into longer-term, high-grade instruments as the $1.9B balance sheet enables long-term planning; all cash and cash-like.
maybe any specific gating items remaining before reaching a definitive contract?
Show response
CEO said only that ENTRA1-TVA conversations are progressing well and NuScale will be ready to implement, naming no specific gating items.
Calendar 2025 Q1
How likely is it that one of these customers could be a large tech company
Show response
Hopkins said a hyperscaler customer is plausible given NDAs with Tier 1 AI players but stressed NuScale is near-term deployable once 77-megawatt is approved.
what we should expect for quarterly cash burn for the foreseeable future?
Show response
Hamady guided steady OpEx of roughly $40 million to $45 million per quarter, rising modestly on supply-chain investment, with about two years of runway.
Calendar 2024 Q4
can you give us a little more detail around the parameters or conditions met that allowed you to recognize the revenue
Show response
Hamady explained revenue came from two contracts -- technology licensing and EPC subcontract work -- recognized on delivery of services and progress toward delivery.
any potential bottlenecks you’re seeing in putting pen to paper and signing an agreement
Show response
Hopkins reframed it as deal complexity rather than a bottleneck, pointing to the additional six modules ordered as evidence of progress toward closing deals.

Calendar 2026 Q2
what's the current primary governor on deployment pace?

Calendar 2025 Q4
could you see upside to that?
Show response

OKLOOklo Inc.2 questions · 2 reporting periods · 0 of 2 challenging
Calendar 2026 Q2
Could you maybe please provide an update on the radioisotope production road map at Groves
Show response
Management said first isotope revenue will more likely come from the NRC-licensed Idaho lab than Groves, arriving in the first part of next year, with R&D-quantity material from Groves in roughly 12 months.
Calendar 2025 Q4
Is there any update on what the 75-megawatt reactor CapEx should look like?
Show response
CEO gave no dollars-per-kW figure, saying costs are actively evolving as the build progresses and lessons from Idaho will optimize the Ohio plants.

Calendar 2025 Q4
There's been a surge of startups, particularly from China entering the humanoid market
Show response
Musk said China is very good at AI and manufacturing and will be Tesla's toughest humanoid competition, but Tesla will lead on real-world intelligence, electromechanical dexterity, and especially hand design, calling out hand design, real-world AI, and scaling production as the three hardest humanoid problems where Tesla is the only company with all three.
Calendar 2025 Q1
when you launch unsupervised FSD that there could be sort of a multi-tiered pricing approach
Show response
