Performance Graph
The following Performance Graph and related information shall not be deemed “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference into such filing.
The following graph compares, for the period from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2020, the cumulative stockholder return on our common stock with the cumulative total return on the IShares Russell 2000, the Invesco S&P SmallCap 600 Energy, the NASDAQ Market Index, and the Industrial Electrical Equipment Group (a select group of peer companies – Altra Industrial Motion Corp.; Ameresco, Inc.; AZZ Inc.; Belden Inc.; Daktronics Inc.; EnerSys; Franklin Electric Co, Inc.; Littelfuse Inc.; LSI Industries Inc.; McDermott International, Inc.; Preformed Line Products; A O Smith Corporation; Thermon Group Holdings and Woodward, Inc.). In Fiscal 2020, the IShares Russell 2000 and the Invesco S&P SmallCap 600 Energy were added as more comparable indices to replace the NASDAQ Market Index as this index is not necessarily indicative of Powell's performance or its peers. The comparison assumes that $100 was invested on October 1, 2015, in our common stock, the IShares Russell 2000, the Invesco S&P SmallCap 600 Energy, the NASDAQ Market Index and the Industrial Electrical Equipment Group, and that all dividends were re-invested. The stock price performance reflected on the following graph is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.
