Fluence Energy lowered its fiscal 2026 guidance on September 16, 2026, citing delays in ramping up its Houston contract manufacturing facility and continuing supply chain issues affecting U.S. production.

The company also named Bernerd Da Santos as executive vice president and chief operating officer, and management plans to provide a fiscal 2027 business plan when it reports fiscal 2026 results.
