Ramesh Nuggihalli, the new CEO of power plant pollution-control company Fuel Tech $FTEK, spent most of the Q3 call on strategy rather than the quarter. He’s running a planning process with outside advisors he’s worked with before, plus a smaller team already identifying acquisition targets, and plans to take the strategy and an “M&A playbook” to the board in early 2027. He listed three gaps acquisitions would fill, in this order: 1) Products: Technologies Fuel Tech doesn’t offer today. 2) Markets: Customers and end markets it doesn’t serve. 3) Business models: Such as turning its informal service work into a standalone business built on long-term service contracts. He didn’t say how much of the $27.8M of cash and investments the board would spend, but at an H.C. Wainwright conference in September, he said he doesn’t need “$50 million-$100 million deals,” just “a $2 million EBITDA company” that fills a product or channel gap. Nuggihalli’s also reviewing R&D spending on DGI, $FTEK’s technology for dissolving oxygen into water. Adoption in aquaculture (fish farming) “has been slower than anticipated,” so $FTEK is evaluating larger parts of the water market. In August, a first commercial hatchery system was the DGI milestone I said to watch. But DGI barely matters to the thesis: it’s still in pilots, Nuggihalli called $FTEK’s investment in it “modest,” the only 2026 revenue management has mentioned is $100K from a wastewater rental, and I gave it no value in August.
