Strategic direction and growth pillars

  • Leadership is focused on three pillars: lead for growth (customer-centricity), execute for growth (operational excellence), and invest for growth (targeted investments in high-margin, high-growth verticals).

  • Investments are concentrated in electrical and aerospace, with a particular focus on data centers and utilities.

  • The company maintains disciplined M&A, targeting returns above 200-300 basis points over capital, and has clarified investment priorities.

  • Recent acquisitions (Boyd Thermal, FiberBond, Resilient Power) are designed to strengthen the portfolio and market position in data centers.

  • Strategy development began 18 months prior to the CEO transition, ensuring continuity and early execution.

Data center and order momentum

  • Data center market is experiencing rapid growth, with U.S. capacity rising from 20 GW in 2023 to nearly 40 GW by year-end, and a customer-announced backlog of 165 GW.

  • Year-over-year data center orders in Q3 increased by 70%, driven by strong market demand and improved lead times.

  • Backlog is four times historical levels, with Q3 backlog 20% higher than last year (9% organic, 11% from FiberBond acquisition).

  • Orders are increasingly tied to individual data center projects rather than multi-year commitments, reflecting rapid technology changes.

  • Negotiation pipeline for new orders is around $8 billion, with frequent large deals ($500M–$700M) and a significant focus on data centers.

Technology, differentiation, and acquisitions

  • The company offers a comprehensive portfolio from utility feeder to chip, enhanced by recent acquisitions, and is positioned for the transition to high-voltage and solid-state transformer technologies.

  • Differentiation comes from three-phase transformers, broad power distribution, and integration from utility to chip, as well as presence in utilities and aerospace.

  • Content per megawatt in AI data centers is rising, with the Boyd acquisition increasing it from $2.9M to $3.4M per MW.

  • Boyd’s engineering strength and deep customer integration reduce commoditization risk and position the company for leadership in liquid cooling and next-gen chip platforms.

  • Growth in cooling and power integration is expected to be driven by engineering innovation and close collaboration with hyperscalers.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
