Daniel McGahn tells Brooke DiPalma that data centers are “a very, very small fraction” of AMSC, that roughly 20 to 30% of it is traditional energy like gas pipelines, and that the company is carrying 12 months of backlog worth more than its entire prior year. On a Fed hike, he says most of the work is already funded.
