Enerflex Stock Gets Data Center Power Contract Boost

Simply Wall St · 2d ago
  • Enerflex announced in October 2026 that it had secured major Engineered Systems contracts for over 1 gigawatt of low emission behind the meter natural gas power units for large North American data center projects, lifting its total behind the meter generation backlog to more than 1.75 gigawatts with deliveries running through 2028.
  • The expanded backlog ties directly into Enerflex’s planned US$100 million of Engineered Systems facility and capability spending, which aims to lift revenue capacity while opening higher value commissioning, installation, digital monitoring, and after market service opportunities over the full lifecycle of these data center power assets.
  • The next area of focus is how Enerflex’s expanded low emission data center power backlog could reshape its investment narrative around growth and services.

Enerflex Investment Narrative Recap

To own Enerflex, you need to believe the energy infrastructure story still has legs and that natural gas backed power remains a viable bridge for data centers and global projects. The recent data center awards extend revenue visibility in Engineered Systems, which can help while margins normalize and net profit margins remain relatively low at 2.1%.

The near term swing factor is execution on this much larger backlog and on the US$100 million facility expansion, without creating cost overruns or underused capacity if conditions soften. The biggest risk is still concentration in traditional gas infrastructure and a young management team, especially if energy transition policies tighten faster than Enerflex’s offering evolves.

The October 13 award for over 1 gigawatt of low emission behind the meter natural gas power units for a North American data center development looks central to that thesis. It lifts the behind the meter backlog to more than 1.75 gigawatts, with deliveries stretching to 2028 and anchored in Enerflex’s North American manufacturing footprint.

This contract also plugs directly into the planned US$100 million of ES facility and capability spending, including the previously guided US$15 million in 2026 and about US$85 million mostly in 2027. Execution quality here feeds into the key catalysts investors watch, such as growth in higher margin after market services tied to ReliaCore Asset Performance Management and the stability of recurring infrastructure style revenue streams.

Enerflex's narrative projects $3.1b revenue and $270.0 million earnings by 2029. This implies 6.7% yearly revenue growth and an earnings increase of about 5 times from $53.0 million today.
