NVT

nVent Electric (NVT) is expanding its liquid cooling capacity with a new Blaine 2 facility opening in H1 2027 to meet surging AI data center demand. The company expects 2026 data center sales to exceed $2 billion with a $2.5 billion backlog, and plans $130 million in capital expenditures (up 40%) to support growth. However, NVT carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) rating with a forward P/S ratio of 3.70X above industry average.

nVent Electric (NVT) has surged 60.9% YTD driven by strong AI data-center demand, with 2026 data-center sales expected to exceed $2 billion. However, the stock's premium valuation (27.55X forward P/E), rising tariff costs ($100M expected in 2026), and intensifying competition from Hubbell, Super Micro Computer, and Amphenol warrant caution. Zacks rates NVT as a Sell.

nVent Electric expects data center sales to exceed $2 billion in 2026, more than doubling from the prior year, driven by the industry's shift toward 800V DC systems and higher-power requirements. The company is expanding its liquid-cooling capacity and developing modular cooling solutions, advanced PDUs, and flexible bus solutions. However, it faces competition from Vertiv and Super Micro Computer, which also have strong positions in AI data center infrastructure.

Forgent Power Solutions (FPS) has surged 29.5% since Q4 2026 results, with a record $3B backlog covering over 90% of fiscal 2027 revenue guidance.

Trading at a 24.43x forward P/E, below peers like Eaton and nVent, the stock appears reasonably valued with significant upside potential.

The article argues that SpaceX's $2 trillion valuation is too high relative to its revenue, even accounting for projected $100 billion annual recurring revenue by 2026, resulting in a price-to-sales ratio above 20. Instead, the author recommends three better-valued growth stocks: SanDisk (strong NAND memory demand from AI), MaxLinear (optical data center products), and nVent (liquid cooling solutions for data centers).
