nVent Electric plánuje koupit Maverick Power za 1,75 miliardy USD a rozšířit tak nabídku pro datová centra. Maverick má v roce 2026 výnosy kolem 700 milionů USD a akvizice má být v prvním roce po uzavření transakce zisková pro upravený EPS.
Key Takeaways NVT plans to acquire Maverick Power, adding switchgear and power distribution solutions to its portfolio.Maverick is expected to generate $700M in 2026 revenues and be EPS accretive in the first year after closing.NVT expects data center sales above $2B in 2026, with AI investment driving demand. nVent Electric (NVT - Free Report) is expanding its data center business with the planned acquisition of Maverick Power, a leading provider of power distribution and infrastructure solutions for data centers. The $1.75 billion Maverick Power acquisition will add low- and medium-voltage switchgear, switchboards, integrated modular systems and related services to nVent Electric's portfolio. These products complement NVT's existing data center offerings in liquid cooling, cable management and engineered buildings.
The acquisition is timely because data center demand is driving a large part of nVent Electric's growth. In the second quarter of 2026, NVT's infrastructure sales more than doubled organically, led by data centers. The company expects data center sales to exceed $2 billion in 2026. Maverick adds a sizable business to this growth area. Maverick is expected to generate about $700 million in revenues in 2026 and has a strong backlog and future demand visibility.
With power demand driven by data centers and an aging power grid, Maverick's power distribution products can help nVent Electric address the rising power requirements of data centers as electricity demand continues to increase. NVT expects Maverick to be accretive to adjusted EPS in the first year after closing. The $1.75 billion purchase price is about 11.5 times Maverick's expected 2026 adjusted EBITDA, and the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Maverick Power should therefore help nVent Electric expand its data center business as it adds power distribution products to an existing portfolio that already serves cooling, cable management and other data center needs. With nVent Electric expecting more than $2 billion of data center sales in 2026 and AI investment continuing to drive demand, the Maverick Power acquisition should help NVT grow its data center business and strengthen its position in the infrastructure market.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for nVent Electric’s 2026 and 2027 revenues indicates year-over-year growth of 39.96% and 18.12%, respectively.
How Do Competitors Fare Against NVTnVent Electric competes with companies like Vertiv (VRT - Free Report) and Hubbell (HUBB - Free Report) in the electrical equipment and data center markets.
Vertiv is also benefiting from strong AI data center spending and has a broad portfolio covering power and thermal management. VRT offers power, cooling and services as an integrated solution and is expanding its liquid-cooling capabilities through acquisitions, including Strategic Thermal Labs, which added server-side liquid cooling and cold-plate expertise. VRT expects 2026 sales of about $14 billion, up 37% year over year, with organic growth of 31%.
In June 2026, Hubbell completed the acquisition of NSI Industries, a key manufacturer and supplier of electrical products. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Hubbell’s offerings in areas such as light industrial, data center and network infrastructure applications. Here, electrification trends are expected to support Hubbell's growth across the electrical industry, and the acquisition will help Hubbell expand its portfolio of infrastructure-related products for its electrical and utility customers.

nVent čeká, že tržby z datových center v roce 2026 přesáhnou 2 miliardy USD, tedy více než dvojnásobek proti roku 2025. Táhne to silná poptávka po liquid cooling a backlog 2,5 miliardy USD.
Key Takeaways nVent expects data center sales to exceed $2 billion in 2026, more than double 2025 levels.Strong demand for liquid cooling, cable management and engineered buildings drove a $2.5 billion backlog.NVT is expanding liquid-cooling capacity as AI chips create higher heat densities across data centers. nVent Electric (NVT - Free Report) is seeing strong demand from data centers as spending on artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure continues to rise. NVT expects the infrastructure vertical to post strong double-digit growth in 2026, supported by higher AI-related data center investments. Further, the company expects data center sales to exceed $2 billion in 2026, more than double from 2025 levels. This strong momentum should help NVT strengthen its position against other AI data center infrastructure players such as Vertiv (VRT - Free Report) and Super Micro Computer (SMCI - Free Report) .
NVT continues to see robust demand from its broad customer base, including hyperscalers, neo-clouds and multi-tenant data centers for its liquid cooling, cable management and engineered buildings solutions. This robust demand helped the company end the second quarter with a $2.5 billion backlog. This momentum is expected to continue as management sees data center orders remaining strong in the third quarter of 2026.
NVT is also adding capacity to meet rising demand. The company opened its Blaine facility in Minnesota earlier in 2026, which effectively doubled its liquid-cooling capacity. Further, management said another expansion is needed and announced the Blaine 2 facility, which is expected to open in the first half of 2027. Management estimates that liquid cooling currently accounts for only 10-15% of data center cooling, leaving room for further adoption. With AI chips creating higher heat densities, the above-mentioned factors show that liquid cooling is expected to remain a long-term growth driver for the company.
NVT remains well-positioned to benefit from strong AI-related demand, healthy orders and new capacity, which could help the company maintain its growth momentum. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for nVent Electric’s 2026 revenues is pegged at $5.45 billion, indicating a year-over-year increase of 39.96%. The consensus estimate for NVT’s 2027 revenues is pegged at $6.44 billion, indicating a year-over-year increase of 18.1%.
How Do Competitors Fare Against NVTVertiv is also benefiting from strong AI data center spending and has a broad portfolio covering power and thermal management. VRT offers power, cooling and services as an integrated solution and is expanding its liquid-cooling capabilities through acquisitions, including Strategic Thermal Labs, which added server-side liquid cooling and cold-plate expertise. VRT expects 2026 sales of about $14 billion, up 37% year over year, with organic growth of 31%.
Super Micro Computer is another strong player in AI data-center infrastructure, with its business spanning servers, storage, networking and direct liquid cooling. Its data center building block solutions combine GPU and CPU servers, storage, direct liquid cooling, cooling distribution units, networking and data-center management software. SMCI is also expanding its liquid-cooling capacity and expects its manufacturing network to support more than 3,000 direct liquid-cooled racks per month. For fiscal 2027, the company expects revenues of $65-$72 billion.

Key Takeaways nVent raised 2026 sales growth guidance to 37-39% and adjusted EPS guidance to $5-$5.10.NVT expects 2026 data center sales to exceed $2B, more than double last year, as liquid cooling expands.nVent plans a third Minnesota liquid cooling facility as backlog remains healthy at $2.5B. nVent Electric plc (NVT - Free Report) used its second-quarter 2026 earnings call to emphasize accelerating AI data center demand, broader short-cycle strength and another sharp increase in its full-year outlook. Management focused on scaling capacity quickly enough to support demand while preserving margins and execution discipline.
Adjusted EPS of $1.45 topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.16. Revenues of $1.47 billion also exceeded the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.26 billion.
NVT Raises Full-Year Growth OutlookExecutive vice president and CFO Gary Corona raised 2026 reported sales growth guidance to 37% to 39% from 26% to 28%. Organic growth is now expected at 32% to 34%, compared with 21% to 23% forecasted previously.
Corona also lifted adjusted EPS guidance to $5-$5.10 from $4.45-$4.55. At the midpoint, adjusted EPS would rise 50% from 2025, reflecting stronger sales assumptions and operating execution.
For the third quarter, Corona guided to reported and organic sales growth of 32% to 35% and adjusted EPS of $1.35-$1.38. He said the outlook includes continued investment in data centers and power utilities.
nVent Expands Liquid Cooling CapacityChair and CEO Beth Wozniak said data center growth remained broad across liquid cooling, cable management and engineered buildings, with demand spanning hyperscalers, neo-clouds, multi-tenant operators and distribution partners.
Wozniak announced a third Minnesota liquid cooling facility, Blaine 2, expected to open in the first half of 2027. She said the expansion should extend capacity through 2027 and into 2028.
Wozniak expects nVent’s total data center sales to exceed $2 billion in 2026, more than double last year. The existing Blaine facility is still ramping, while a modular liquid cooling platform is scheduled to launch this fall.
NVT Sees Demand Broaden Beyond Data CentersWozniak said organic orders grew low double digits in the quarter, while backlog remained healthy at $2.5 billion. She also noted strong data center orders early in the third quarter despite normal lumpiness in large bookings.
In response to an RBC Capital Markets analyst, Wozniak described the short-cycle improvement as broad-based order growth through distribution rather than a one-time benefit.
A Melius analyst pressed on distributor inventory. Wozniak said sell-in and sell-through were well balanced, supporting management’s view that the improvement reflected underlying demand rather than channel restocking.
nVent Balances Growth With Margin InvestmentCorona said adjusted return on sales reached 21.9%, up 110 basis points year over year. Price and productivity offset more than $50 million of inflation, including more than $30 million of tariff impact.
The company now expects about $100 million of tariff impact for 2026, up from $80 million because of higher volume. Management still expects pricing, supply-chain productivity and operating actions to offset inflation, including tariffs.
Electrical Connections remained a margin watchpoint. Corona said its 27.3% return on sales improved sequentially and should continue rising as pricing takes hold, with management expecting the segment in the high-20% range this year.
NVT Q&A Tests Backlog and Long-Term VisibilityAnalysts from Vertical Research, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank focused on whether backlog and capacity could sustain growth. Wozniak said nVent is deliberately working down backlog to maintain customer lead times.
She also said the company is being prudent with near-term guidance because two facilities are ramping simultaneously, requiring coordinated additions of labor, equipment and supplier capacity.
A William Blair analyst asked about growth beyond 2027. Wozniak said nVent has visibility several years out and is working with NVIDIA and other customers on product road maps extending through 2030, particularly around liquid cooling.
nVent Keeps Capital Focus on GrowthCorona said nVent still expects about $130 million of capital expenditures in 2026, up 40%, with most incremental spending directed toward data centers, power utilities and supply-chain resiliency.
Management closed the call emphasizing capacity expansion, product innovation and disciplined execution. With net leverage at 1.2 times and $600 million available on its revolver, Corona said the balance sheet retains flexibility for growth, acquisitions and shareholder returns.

Shares in nVent Electric (NVT +8.56%) soared by more than 15% in early trading today, only to settle somewhat to a high single-digit gain by early afternoon. It's a startling performance from a stock that's up 54% in 2026, and a whopping 397% over the last five years.
nVent crushes estimates and raises again It's no secret that nVent's electrical connection and protection solutions make it an excellent pick-and-shovel play on the increasing demand for power driven by AI data centers, and the company's recent results did not disappoint on that front. However, that's not the full story of the second-quarter results, because the company became the latest industrial stock to report excellent results after Honeywell and Illinois Tool Works recently raised their full-year guidance, citing improving short-cycle orders.

The latter is exactly what nVent is seeing, with CEO Beth Wozniak noting on the second-quarter earnings call: "The better-than-expected sales were primarily driven by the infrastructure vertical, led by data centers, along with stronger demand in our short-cycle business," with growth occurring "across every vertical and every geography."
Data center demand continues to boom, too. In a sense, nVent's old-economy end markets (industrial and commercial/residential construction) came together with the new-economy (AI data centers) to boost both sales and the company's outlook. Management raised its full-year guidance for the second time this year.

Wozniak also confirmed that its data center end market had strong "orders thus far" in the third quarter.

nVent Electric zakončila 1. čtvrtletí 2026 s rekordním backlogem ve výši 2,6 miliardy USD, taženým poptávkou po AI datových centrech. Firma zároveň zvýšila výhled tržeb na rok 2026 na růst 26–28 %.
Key Takeaways nVent Electric ended Q1 2026 with a record $2.6 billion backlog, driven by strong AI data center demand. NVT is expanding manufacturing capacity to help convert backlog into future revenue growth. nVent Electric raised its 2026 revenue and adjusted EPS guidance on strong order momentum. nVent Electric (NVT - Free Report) entered 2026 with a strong order book that could support future revenue growth. The company ended the first quarter of 2026 with a record backlog of $2.6 billion, up in low double digits sequentially. Organic orders increased about 40% year over year, mainly driven by AI data center projects. Even excluding data centers, organic orders grew at a mid-teens rate, showing healthy demand across the broader business.
Management said the backlog gives the company good visibility for the rest of 2026, and most of the backlog extends beyond the next 12 months, providing visibility into 2027. Demand remained strong across liquid cooling, engineered buildings, enclosures, power distribution units, cable management and power connections. The company is also seeing strong demand from a broad customer base, including hyperscalers, neo clouds, multi-tenant operators and distribution partners, which should help support revenue growth over the coming quarters.
nVent Electric is investing heavily to support this demand. NVT plans to spend approximately $130 million on capital expenditures in 2026. A major part of this expansion is the new Blaine, MN, facility, which started production during the first quarter of 2026. Besides Blaine, NVT is expanding manufacturing capacity across several locations for liquid cooling products and engineered building solutions. Most of this investment will support data center products, power utilities and supply chain expansion. These investments should help the company deliver orders and convert its backlog into future revenues.
The strong order book and backlog gave management confidence to raise its full-year outlook. The company now expects 2026 revenue growth in the range of 26-28%, up from its previous guidance of 15-18%. The company now expects 2026 adjusted EPS in the range of $4.45-$4.55, up from its prior guidance of $4.00-$4.15. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for nVent Electric’s 2026 revenues and EPS indicates a year-over-year increase of 28% and 36%, respectively.
How Do Competitors Fare Against NVTnVent Electric competes with companies like Vertiv (VRT - Free Report) and Amphenol Corporation (APH - Free Report) in the electrical equipment and data center markets.
Vertiv continues to benefit from rising data center power and thermal needs as AI deployments drive higher infrastructure density and faster build cycles. Vertiv expects orders to be up year over year in 2026 and continues to cite larger deployments and higher technical complexity that favor providers that can deliver products, systems and services at scale. Capacity additions and backlog conversion are expected to support faster organic growth in the second half of 2026.
Amphenol is seeing sustained demand for high-speed, power and fiber interconnect products, led by AI-related IT datacom programs and supported by diversified industrial applications. APH’s first-quarter 2026 orders were $9.4 billion, with a book-to-bill of 1.24, supporting management’s view of broad-based demand. Further, every end market had book-to-bill above 1, and bookings were broad-based, underscoring the healthy demand across various end markets.

The company is also increasing capacity for products used in power utility projects as demand for grid infrastructure continues to grow.
nVent Electric is investing heavily to support this demand. NVT plans to spend approximately $130 million on capital expenditures in 2026, indicating a 40% increase from the prior year. The capital spending will be used to expand manufacturing capacity and strengthen the supply chain to support growth in data centers and power utilities and help the company support higher production volumes as demand continues to increase.
Capacity expansion is also helping NVT grow its product portfolio. New product launches, which include products related to liquid cooling and data center applications, contributed more than 20 percentage points to first-quarter sales growth. The company launched 11 new products during the first quarter and expects more launches later this year. The above-mentioned factors show that with higher manufacturing capacity and continued investment in new products, nVent Electric remains well-positioned to meet growing customer demand and support future revenue growth.
How Do Competitors Fare Against NVTnVent Electric competes with companies like Vertiv (VRT - Free Report) and Hubbell (HUBB - Free Report) in the electrical and data center markets.
In April 2026, Vertiv completed the acquisition of Strategic Thermal Labs to expand its engineering capabilities in liquid cooling for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. These capabilities are expected to help Vertiv improve the design, testing and performance of liquid-cooled infrastructure. The acquisition is expected to support Vertiv’s broader strategy of helping customers manage increasingly complex AI and HPC infrastructure by combining power, cooling, controls and lifecycle services into an integrated offering.
Hubbell recently completed the acquisition of NSI Industries, a key manufacturer and supplier of electrical products. The acquisition is expected to strengthen Hubbell’s offerings in areas such as light industrial, data center and network infrastructure applications. Here, electrification trends are expected to support Hubbell's growth across the electrical industry, and the acquisition will help Hubbell expand its portfolio of infrastructure-related products for its electrical and utility customers.

When a stock is up more than 60% in just six months, it can create one of two emotions in investors. On the one hand, it can create FOMO (fear of missing out), which can cause investors to chase the stock higher.
The other emotion is fear, which may cause existing shareholders to sell.

This could be the situation with nVent Electric NYSE: NVT. This is a London-based manufacturer of electrical components and liquid cooling systems used inside data centers.
NVT is up 66% year to date, but recent analyst activity suggests there could be significant upside for the stock.
Part of the Modern Day Gold RushAs it turns out, data centers take a long time to build. That revelation is one reason behind the volatility in the AI infrastructure trade. Investors bought into many stocks that were linked to data centers in a fashion that resembled a modern-day gold rush.
But the real advice to follow behind this trade may be to be quick, but don’t hurry. It’s important to be in these stocks, but there is time. Many planned data center projects haven’t broken ground yet and won’t be completed in 2027, let alone 2026. This will be a growth story that has years to go.
That slow, steady approach applies to nVent. Energy is a major story relative to data centers. Specifically, the hardware needed to power AI models needs access to 24/7 power, and there’s not enough of it.
However, the other energy issue is the heat density problem created by modern AI and high-performance computing hardware. For example, many of the top AI accelerators in use today can draw 700W to 1,000W per chip. A single server rack full of them can pull 100kW or more. That exceeds the cooling capacity of traditional air cooling systems.
This is why many hyperscalers are turning to liquid cooling solutions. Water conducts heat roughly 25x more efficiently than air. That means far more heat can be removed from a much smaller space, which directly enables denser, more powerful server configurations.
The Sector Is Underpriced, But Not for LongInvestors who are aware of the liquid cooling story may point out that nVent competes with Vertiv NYSE: VRT in this space. That’s true, but the focus should be on the size of the pie, which will allow for more than one winner.
The liquid cooling market in 2026 is only projected to be valued at around $8.5 billion. However, that number is expected to grow to around $17.7 billion by 2030. That’s a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 20%.
In its Q1 2026 earnings report, nVent showed why investors can believe there’s more growth to come. The company delivered record revenue and earnings per share (EPS). But more importantly, it announced a backlog that exceeded forecasts. That allowed it to raise its full-year guidance on the top and bottom lines.

The risk in the AI infrastructure story in 2026 goes back to the timing. Specifically, is the AI infrastructure buildout an illusion or a story that’s still in the early stages? Critics (and cynics) would say that a data center planned isn’t the same as a data center built.
However, the earnings season just ended confirmed that hyperscalers continue to commit capital, and companies like nVent are confirming that those dollars are translating to projects that are under construction.
Companies such as Microsoft NASDAQ: MSFT and Alphabet NASDAQ: GOOGL aren’t going to commit billions of dollars and eat into their earnings and free cash flow on projects they don’t intend to see through. The current reality is that many businesses will demand the compute capacity to run AI for their operations.
That’s why analysts continue to increase their price targets. In June, analysts from Bernstein and Melius Research issued price targets of $218 and $214, respectively, for NVT. Both are well above the consensus price target of $189.50.
NVT Stock Pullback: Key Levels Investors Should WatchNVT has been in a strong uptrend since early 2026, consistently riding above its 50-day moving average. That gap between the current price and the simple moving average (SMA) signals solid bullish momentum with room to pull back before the trend is threatened.
The recent drop of over 8% on a noticeable volume spike is the key event to watch. That kind of selling pressure warrants caution in the short term.
The RSI sits at 53.36, right in neutral territory, which in this case is constructive. It means NVT isn't oversold, but it also isn't overheated, leaving room to move in either direction.
Watch the $159–$160 SMA zone as the first meaningful support level on any continued weakness.
