   THE BI-WEEKLY BOTTOM LINE

   Buyers Add Capacity and Service Scope While Solar-Linked Names Trail

   This page summarizes the two-week period in one page, covering price moves, M&A and the sector's key theme.

   We start with the headline: 11 of 14 covered names rose and the median move was +5.0%, well ahead of the S&P 500's +0.8%. Three agreed transactions landed in the window, and a Core-tier issuer funded itself mid-period. Solar-linked hardware moved the other way, with SolarEdge and Array both trading lower against that median. So what: the period confirms the sector is trading as three distinct markets, and capital is rewarding delivery capacity over solar exposure.

   THE BI-WEEKLY BOTTOM LINE Buyers Add Capacity and Service Scope While Solar-Linked Names Trail The two-week period in one page · 14 covered names, close-to-close · September 14–28, 2026 Source: NeuraCap analytics platform (universe, prices, filings, transaction records); publisher-sourced news where linked; market data through 2026-09-28. Driver attributions use calibrated language and are NeuraCap reads of the recorded evidence. Electrical Equipment and Components Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice Sources & methodology 2 1 11 of 14 Covered Names Rose; The Median Move Was +5.0% The set ran ahead of the S&P 500, which returned +0.8% over the two-week period. The gains sat with the grid and data-center gear names. 2 Three Agreed Transactions Landed Inside the Window Atkore Inc. (ATKR) disclosed a merger agreement with Prysmian S.p.A., Vertiv Holdings Co (VRT) agreed to acquire King Environmental Services Ltd., and Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) signed an agreement to acquire COL Group. 3 A Core-Tier Issuer Funded Itself Mid-Window nVent Electric plc (NVT) priced $800.0 million of senior notes on Sep 15 and returned +9.5% over the two-week period. 4 Solar-Linked Hardware Traded the Other Way SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (SEDG) returned -10.8% and Array Technologies, Inc. (ARRY) -13.2%, against a +5.0% median. NeuraCap's read: that split is consistent with the standing view that this sector trades as three distinct markets. +9.7% Best mover — Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) worst: ARRY -13.2% · 11 up / 3 down of 14 covered +5.0% Sector median two-week return vs S&P 500 +0.8% 3 Transactions agreed in the two-week period from company announcements; not yet in the precedent record 1 Company filings in the window 8-K events read for driver attribution

   PUBLIC MARKET MOVERS

   Deals and Funding Led the Gainers; Solar-Linked Names Trailed

   This page ranks the bi-weekly price moves across covered names against the sector median and the S&P 500.

   We show the full spread of two-week moves, from the grid and data-center gear names at the top to solar-linked hardware at the bottom. The sector median move was +5.0% against a materiality bar of 8.6%, so most of the dispersion sits inside normal range even as the direction diverges by sub-sector. SolarEdge returned -10.8% and Array Technologies -13.2%, the clearest laggards in the set. So what: where a name sits relative to that median is a fast read on which sub-market it belongs to.

Electrical Equipment and Components Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice Sources & methodology 3 Bi-Weekly return per company · teal above zero, amber below · sector median +5.0% Array Technologies, Inc. (ARRY) -13.2% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. The -13.2% return sits below the sector median of +5.0%. Discount-tier solar-linked hardware kept trading apart from code-driven gear this period. UNEXPLAINED SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (SEDG) -10.8% Shares moved following the law-firm notices published Sep 17 and Sep 19 announcing investigations of claims on behalf of investors. The steepest single day, -7.6%, came Sep 23. Premium-tier pricing leaves little room when company-level news flow turns to investor claims. COMPANY-SPECIFIC Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) +9.7% Shares moved following the Sep 25 agreement to acquire COL Group, which Eaton said expands manufacturing capacity and capabilities for data center and utility markets in EMEA. The largest single day, +3.7%, came earlier on Sep 18. A Premium-tier name is buying delivery capacity for data-center and utility scope rather than waiting to build it. COMPANY-SPECIFIC nVent Electric plc (NVT) +9.5% Shares moved following two in-window items: the Sep 15 pricing of $800.0 million of senior notes and the Sep 21 quarterly dividend declaration. The largest single day, +4.3%, came Sep 18. Core-tier issuers have funding access, which widens what they can do on product breadth and capacity. COMPANY-SPECIFIC

   MAJOR NEWS & INDUSTRY CATALYSTS

   Two Acquisitions, a Product Launch and a Funding Define the Period's Company News

   This page lists the two-week period's highest-impact company news, including two acquisitions, a product launch and a funding.

   We flag the events that moved the record this period: two acquisition announcements, a product launch and a funding. Each item links back to its filing or article, and the 'why it matters' read is ours, not the company's. nVent Electric priced $800.0 million of senior notes and returned +9.5% over the window. So what: funding and product moves this period sat alongside, not apart from, the M&A activity - capacity investment is the connecting theme.

   MAJOR NEWS & INDUSTRY CATALYSTS Two Acquisitions, a Product Launch and a Funding Define the Period's Company News The two-week period's highest-impact events · titles link to the underlying filing or article · September 14–28, 2026 Source: NeuraCap analytics platform (universe, prices, filings, transaction records); publisher-sourced news where linked; market data through 2026-09-28. "Why it matters" lines are NeuraCap reads; each event links to its source. Sources are admitted in a fixed reliability order (SEC filings, press releases, established outlets); video and social platforms are never used. Electrical Equipment and Components Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice Sources & methodology 4 Sep 24 · NEWS · PRNewsWire Vertiv agreed to acquire King Environmental Services, extending fluid management into EMEA Thermal and fluid management service capability is being bought to follow high-density, AI-driven load into new geographies. It puts service attach on the installed base at the centre of the period's buying. Service capability on installed hardware is now an acquisition target in its own right. Sep 24 · NEWS · Business Wire Clearfield launched the NOVA Velocity Panel for high-density data center fiber deployment A catalogue product aimed at deployment speed rather than price. NeuraCap's read: smaller names are competing on install labour and lead time where the data-center queue is tight. Launches are being pitched on how fast the product goes in, not on the price list. Sep 23 · NEWS · PRNewsWire Law firm said it is investigating Vertiv over potential securities law violations The firm links its notice to a share price drop it attributes to Q2 results. For a Premium-tier name, the market's tolerance for results variance is thin. Premium-tier pricing raises the cost of a results miss across grid and data-center names. Sep 22 · NEWS · GlobeNewsWire Pomerantz said it is investigating claims on behalf of SolarEdge investors A further notice inside the window keeps legal news flow on the solar-linked side of the sector, where end demand is incentive- and policy-dependent. Solar-linked hardware carried a different risk profile than code-driven gear this period. Sep 19 · NEWS · Business Wire SBS Law invited SolarEdge investors to join an investigation of the company Several firms publishing in the same window concentrates attention on one name. NeuraCap's read: sentiment can separate names inside the same end market quickly. Within solar-linked hardware, company-level news is doing more work than the end market. Sep 17 · NEWS · PRNewsWire Pomerantz announced an investigation of claims on behalf of SolarEdge investors The earliest of the three SolarEdge notices in the window. NeuraCap's read: sustained legal news flow tends to widen the gap between the sector's highest- and lowest-priced names. Buyers of solar-linked assets will underwrite policy exposure and disclosure history together.

   M&A & STRATEGIC ACTIVITY

   Three Agreements Put Capacity, Services and Channel Position in Play

   This page details the three agreed transactions from the period against a backdrop of 40 recorded precedent deals.

   Three agreements landed in the window: Atkore's merger agreement with Prysmian, Vertiv's agreement to acquire King Environmental Services, and Eaton's agreement to acquire COL Group. We read each against the precedent set of 40 recorded deals to size how it fits the sector's standing M&A pattern. Multiples shown are LTM at announcement where disclosed. So what: three fresh, strategic reference points now sit in the record for anyone benchmarking the next transaction.

(ATKR) Atkore Inc. (ATKR) agreed to be acquired by Prysmian S.p.A. and become a wholly-owned subsidiary A cross-border strategic taking out a full conduit, fittings and raceway platform, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Sep 24 · Vertiv Holdings Co (VRT) Vertiv Holdings Co (VRT) agreed to acquire King Environmental Services Ltd. The stated logic is adding European execution to North American fluid management capability for high-density environments. It points to service attach and geography, rather than unit volume, as the scope being bought. Sep 25 · Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) signed an agreement to acquire COL Group Eaton framed the transaction as expanding manufacturing capacity and capabilities. NeuraCap's read: a Premium-tier acquirer converting balance sheet into delivery capacity where lead times decide the specification. Terms and multiples enter the precedent record once the filing is processed; the reference set alongside is unchanged. 40 Recorded precedent transactions the reference set buyers and sellers price against

   WHAT IT MEANS

   What the Period Changes for Operators, Buyers and Advisors

   This page translates the period's evidence into implications for operators, acquirers and advisors.

   For owners and operators, the market paid for delivery capacity this period, with 11 of 14 covered names higher. For acquirers, the three agreed transactions - Atkore/Prysmian, Vertiv/King Environmental, and Eaton/COL Group - are fresh, strategic reference points. For advisors, the split between grid/data-center names and solar-linked hardware, at -10.8% and -13.2%, supports leading with the three-market framing. So what: each audience has a specific, near-term action point drawn straight from this period's record.

(ATKR), Vertiv Holdings Co (VRT) and King Environmental Services Ltd., and Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) and COL Group. FOR ADVISORS Lead with the Three-Market Split The period's evidence supports it: grid and data-center gear names rose while solar-linked hardware fell, with SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (SEDG) at -10.8% and Array Technologies, Inc. (ARRY) at -13.2% against a +5.0% median.

   SOURCES & METHODOLOGY

   Sources, Methodology and Important Notice

   This page explains the sources and methodology behind every figure in the update.

   We close with the mechanics: every figure here links to the filing, press release or price record it was taken from. Attribution language is calibrated, and where no driver is recorded for a move, the page says so plainly. This is the same standard we hold across every bi-weekly update. So what: you can trace any number in this deck back to its primary source before you act on it.

   Everything on this page

   SOURCES & METHODOLOGY Sources, Methodology and Important Notice How this bi-weekly update is built and what each kind of statement rests on · September 14–28, 2026 · market data through 2026-09-28 Every figure in this update links to the record it was taken from; the publishers and filings drawn on for the period are listed above. Electrical Equipment and Components Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice 7 OBSERVED DATA Bi-Weekly stock moves are computed close-to-close over the stated window from the platform’s price series. Deal records, values and multiples come from the platform’s transaction record (SEC 8-K extractions) exactly as recorded; each figure links to its citation. Treasury rates come from the platform’s Treasury series and are shown only when the 10-year moved at least ten basis points over the window (it did not in this window, so no rate figures appear). UNIVERSE QUALITY The update universe is the platform’s approved company set for this sector, subject to a $100M market-cap floor so small, loosely related names cannot dominate the statistics. 1 name below the floor was excluded from movers and statistics for this window. EVENTS & NEWS Company events are in-window 8-K filings; news items are publisher-sourced headlines fetched for the window (and any externally supplied items, marked as such). Operational and strategic developments (deals, partnerships, launches, expansion, guidance, leadership, regulatory outcomes) are shown first; capital-return mechanics and conference appearances are limited to one each. Every event links to its source. The deck never asserts an event that has no linked record. SOURCE HIERARCHY News is admitted in a fixed order of reliability: SEC filings first, then company press releases and investor-relations communications, then transaction documents, then established outlets (Reuters, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and peers). Video and social platforms — including YouTube — are never used as sources. DRIVER ATTRIBUTION A stock move is linked to an event only when the event falls inside the window, and only in calibrated language ("the move appears to reflect…", "shares moved following…"). Where no driver is recorded, the page says so and compares the move to the sector median instead. ANALYTICAL INTERPRETATION "Why it matters", "why the deal happened" and the what-it-means page are NeuraCap analytical views drawn from the recorded evidence, and are labeled as such. INHERITED CONTEXT The standing sector view (thesis, valuation lens, sector median and tiering) is inherited from the NeuraCap sector study run_20260928T113621Z_363_prod (market data as of 2026-09-28) — distilled, never re-derived. That report’s own sources page governs its content; this update reads the period against it. IMPORTANT NOTICE This report is informational only. It is not investment advice, not a recommendation to buy or sell any security, and not an offer of any kind. Readers should perform their own diligence before acting on anything described here.
