Past Year Trends

• nVent closed the $1.7 billion sale of its Thermal Management segment (RAYCHEM and TRACER brands) to Brookfield Asset Management in January 2025, exiting a business that represented roughly 15-20% of revenue and repositioning the company as a pure-play electrical connection and protection solutions provider. (Neutral)
• Full-year 2025 revenue reached $3.9 billion, up approximately 30% YoY, with organic orders surging 65% in Q2 2025 and data center and utility infrastructure sectors accounting for more than 40% of total sales, driving Q3 and Q4 revenues above $1.1 billion each quarter. (Bullish)
• nVent acquired Avail Infrastructure Solutions' Electrical Products Group in May 2025 for $979.6 million cash, adding approximately $375 million in annualized revenue from enclosures, switchgear, and bus systems serving power utilities and data centers, following the earlier $695 million Trachte acquisition in June 2024.

Next Year Trends

• nVent's 2026 guidance calls for revenue growth of 15-18% and adjusted EPS of $4.00-$4.15, representing a meaningful deceleration from 2025's 30% revenue growth and 82% EPS growth, as the base effect of acquisitions and the initial surge in data center order intake normalizes. (Bearish)
• A new 117,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in Blaine, Minnesota, expected to double nVent's liquid cooling production footprint, is set to come online in early 2026, directly expanding capacity to serve hyperscaler and colocation data center customers ordering liquid cooling enclosure solutions. (Bullish)
• Integration execution risk on two large back-to-back acquisitions — Trachte ($695 million, June 2024) and Avail Electrical Products Group ($979.6 million, May 2025) — totaling nearly $1.7 billion in combined deal value within 12 months, creates meaningful operational and financial leverage risk if synergy realization or revenue retention underperforms the 3-year targets of 10-13% organic sales CAGR announced at the 2026 Investor Day.
