   THE BI-WEEKLY BOTTOM LINE

   The Period Sorted Funded Growth from Reset Expectations

   Summarizes the period's headline result across 22 covered names.

   Sixteen of the 22 covered names fell, with a median move of -1.9% against a +1.6% S&P 500 return over the same window. Solaris Energy Infrastructure led on a priced, upsized note offering, while Fluence Energy's guidance reset marked the floor. This split tells us financing access and delivery credibility were what the market rewarded this period. So what: names showing funding access are trading very differently from those revising guidance.

   THE BI-WEEKLY BOTTOM LINE The Period Sorted Funded Growth from Reset Expectations The two-week period in one page · 22 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. Energy Equipment Manufacturing Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice Sources & methodology 2 1 16 of 22 Covered Names Fell; The Median Move Was -1.9% The S&P 500 returned +1.6% over the same two-week period. The declines clustered in solar and storage equipment, while the gainers sat in power-dense and fuel cell names. 2 A Priced Bond Led the Upside Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (SEI) gained +16.1%, with its strongest day +7.2% on Sep 17, and announced on September 22 the pricing of an upsized offering of $1.25 billion of 7.000% senior notes due 2032, launched that day at $1.0 billion. 3 A Fiscal 2026 Guidance Revision Set the Downside Marker Fluence Energy, Inc. (FLNC) revised its fiscal 2026 outlook on September 16 and hosted a same-day management call; the shares finished the period at -16.6%, with a single-day move of -15.4% on Sep 17. Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ) matched that -16.6% period move. 4 No New Transactions Entered the Record Pricing conversations still reference the trailing set of 30 transactions, whose median EV/EBITDA is 12.7x. NeuraCap's read: the period confirms the standing view that this sector trades as four separate markets under one label. +16.1% Best mover — Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (SEI) worst: CSIQ -16.6% · 6 up / 16 down of 22 covered -1.9% Sector median two-week return vs S&P 500 +1.6%

   PUBLIC MARKET MOVERS

   Funded Balance Sheets Led While a Guidance Reset Set the Floor

   Charts the two-week close-to-close price moves for public market movers against sector and index benchmarks.

   The period's median move was -1.9%, against a +1.6% S&P 500 return, with a materiality bar of 5.6% used to separate signal from noise. Solaris Energy Infrastructure's funded balance sheet moves stood out on the upside, while Fluence Energy's guidance reset set the floor on the downside. We link each move only to filings and headlines recorded in the window, and read them as association, not asserted causation. So what: funded balance sheets earned a reward this period, and guidance resets carried a real cost.

(CSIQ) -16.6% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. The -16.6% decline sat well below the -1.9% median across covered names.

(FLNC) -16.6% Shares moved following the revised fiscal 2026 guidance Fluence Energy, Inc. (FLNC) announced on September 16, alongside a same-day management call; the largest single day was -15.4% on Sep 17. Backlog conversion timing, not order intake alone, is what the market prices in storage equipment. COMPANY-SPECIFIC Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (SEI) +16.1% Shares moved following the September 22 pricing of an upsized offering of $1.25 billion of 7.000% senior notes due 2032 by Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. (SEI), launched earlier that day at $1.0 billion. Access to size in the debt market is itself a competitive input for platforms adding power capacity. COMPANY-SPECIFIC Bloom Energy Corporation (BE) +12.3% No notable in-window news was identified that clearly explains the move. The +12.3% gain ran ahead of the -1.9% median across covered names. Premium-tier power equipment names carry a wide trading range in both directions. UNEXPLAINED

   MAJOR NEWS & INDUSTRY CATALYSTS

   One Guidance Reset, One Customer Win and a Cluster of Investor Notices

   Lists the two-week's highest-impact company news, including a guidance reset, a customer win and investor notices.

   The period's highest-impact events include Fluence Energy's fiscal 2026 guidance reset and Solaris Energy Infrastructure's upsized $1.25 billion note pricing at 7.000%. Each event links back to its underlying filing or article, and our 'why it matters' reads are calibrated to the recorded evidence rather than asserted. So what: these are the catalysts operators and acquirers should track first.

Energy Equipment Manufacturing Bi-Weekly Update | September 14–28, 2026 | Confidential | Not investment advice Sources & methodology 4 Sep 18 · NEWS · Business Wire Vontier won a forecourt automation and integration rollout with a large retail fuel operator A multi-site technology rollout adds installed base and the service pull-through that follows it — the annuity side of an equipment platform rather than first-fit volume. Installed base pull-through remains the clearest route to earnings that survive a customer capex pause. Sep 18 · NEWS · GlobeNewsWire Bloom Energy investors were notified of a September 28 lead plaintiff deadline in a class action Litigation sits alongside a Premium-tier valuation at Bloom Energy Corporation (BE), which lowers the market's tolerance for any disclosure dispute. Premium multiples come with less room for questions about what was said and when. Sep 18 · NEWS · Business Wire Fluence Energy drew an investor-side securities investigation days after its outlook change Investigations announced in the days after a guidance revision keep disclosure quality in view while the market re-sets its delivery assumptions. Where an outlook moves mid-year, the disclosure record gets read as closely as the numbers. Sep 18 · NEWS · Newsfile Corp A second notice reminded Bloom Energy investors of the same late-September class action deadline Repeat notices on the same deadline show the level of investor attention the name carries into the power and data-centre demand debate. Attention cuts both ways for the sector's most visible power equipment names. Sep 18 · NEWS · GlobeNewsWire A second firm opened an investigation into Fluence Energy's disclosures The number of separate investigations shows how closely the storage segment's reporting is being examined after an outlook revision. Storage equipment is being held to the same disclosure bar as mature industrial manufacturers. Sep 16 · NEWS · GlobeNewsWire Fluence Energy revised its fiscal 2026 outlook and took management questions the same day A mid-year outlook change in storage equipment goes straight to backlog conversion and delivery timing, which is what buyers of these businesses underwrite. Guidance credibility is now part of how storage platforms are read against their backlog.

   M&A & STRATEGIC ACTIVITY

   Nothing New Entered the Record, so the Existing Precedents Still Set the Frame

   Notes that no new M&A transactions entered the record, leaving the trailing precedent set to frame pricing.

   No new transactions entered the record this period, so the trailing set of 30 recorded deals, at a median 12.7x EV/LTM EBITDA, still frames how buyers and sellers should think about pricing. We read this quiet stretch as consistent with the standing view that this sector trades as several distinct sub-markets under one label. So what: the absence of new deals doesn't reset the multiple, it reinforces it.

   WHAT IT MEANS

   What the Two Weeks Change for Operators, Buyers and Their Advisors

   Translates the two-week findings into implications for operators, acquirers and advisors.

   For owners and operators, delivery credibility and funding access were the two things the market rewarded this period. For acquirers, the public comparables moved apart while the transaction record stood still, leaving the 30-deal precedent at 12.7x median EV/EBITDA to frame pricing. For advisors, the clearest story to lead with is the spread between Fluence Energy's -16.6% guidance-reset move and Solaris Energy Infrastructure's +16.1% bond-priced gain. So what: these are observations for action, not recommendations.

   Sources, Methodology and Important Notice

   Explains the sources and methodology behind the update, plus the standard disclosures.

   Every figure in this update links to the filing or article it was drawn from, and driver attributions use calibrated language rather than asserted causation. We list the publishers and filings drawn on for the period so each statement can be checked at its source. So what: this update's conclusions are traceable, not just asserted.

   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. Energy Equipment Manufacturing 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. 3 names below the floor were 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_20260928T060705Z_301_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.
