FreightCar America shifts production to a large, lower-cost factory in northern Mexico and now says the hard part of its turnaround is largely behind it.

Voyager Technologies looks like a small defense supplier at first glance, but it also has a stake in a planned replacement for the International Space Station that could turn it into a long-term “space landlord.” With government backing and a large cash cushion, the big question is whether this project reaches launch and changes how the company makes money.Read more

Bloom Energy looks like it is still in the early innings, with big pockets of demand beyond the areas it already serves. The bet is that as data centers and public officials look for faster, cleaner on-site power, Bloom’s track record and quick delivery win over slow-moving buyers.Read more

SPX Technologies sits in a sweet spot of the fast-changing data-center world, as liquid cooling shifts spending from big chillers toward simpler outdoor heat-removal equipment.

NuScale looks written off after a big project was canceled, but the core idea may be getting stronger as power-hungry AI data centers look for clean, always-on electricity. The company’s small nuclear reactor design has already cleared a key U.S. regulator, which could matter if customers start demanding reliable carbon-free power on-site.Read more
