  • Source: 2026-06-05-psix-distributed-gen-leg-verify (PSIX Q1 2026 8-K 2026-05-12 + Massive 8-quarter financials)
    • parent_event: 2026-06-05-psix-distributed-gen-leg-verify
  • Shift: PSIX (the named distributed-power-gen expression in the cohort) crashed -67% off its high on the 2026-05-12 Q1 2026 earnings miss: adj EPS $0.36 vs $0.74 (-51%), revenue $128.6M (-$32M), gross margin 29.7%->22.9%, FY2026 guidance WITHDRAWN. The 2026-06-05 verify found the miss is OIL-&-GAS-cyclical + Wisconsin-ramp execution — NOT a data-center-genset-demand collapse.
  • Effect on thesis: The distributed-power-gen sub-leg stays OPEN (its DC-demand thesis is orthogonal to PSIXs oil-&-gas miss and untouched by it), but PSIX is demoted from thesis carrier to MONITORING — a contaminated proxy (oil-&-gas-revenue-dominated, no DC-genset disclosure, withdrawn guidance, Weichai-control overhang). Carry the sub-leg via cleaner gas-supply + distributed-power-equipment names; re-engage PSIX only on DC/genset order disclosure or margin/guidance stabilization.
  • Per-ticker: PSIX -> carrier-to-monitoring (oil-&-gas-cyclical miss, withdrawn guidance, contaminated proxy). Distributed-power-gen sub-leg: open/unchanged, carried by cleaner names.
