Powell Industries ( (POWL) ) has provided an announcement.
On January 2 and 3, 2026, Powell Industries’ board-level Compensation and Human Capital Committee approved supplemental restricted stock unit awards for CEO Brett A. Cope and CFO Michael W. Metcalf, augmenting their October 1, 2025 grants as part of a revised fiscal 2026 long‑term incentive program. The committee shifted to setting award size by fixed dollar targets rather than as a multiple of base salary, raising Cope’s target to $2.2 million and Metcalf’s to $600,000, and rebalanced Cope’s mix toward 60% performance-based and 40% time-based units, while keeping Metcalf’s at an even split. Although vesting terms largely mirror prior grants, the performance-based units now incorporate a three-year revenue compound annual growth rate metric alongside existing EBITDA and safety goals, signaling a stronger emphasis on growth and performance alignment in executive pay, with implications for how leadership incentives are tied to the company’s long-term financial and operational outcomes.
The most recent analyst rating on (POWL) stock is a Buy with a $387.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Powell Industries stock, see the POWL Stock Forecast page.
