Power Solutions International (PSIX) Valuation Under Scrutiny After 40% Share Price Decline
June 4, 2026, 4:56 AM EDT. Power Solutions International (PSIX) has seen its share price drop 40% in the past month and 25% over three months, despite reporting revenue of $715.6 million and net income of $102.2 million.
