nVent Electric reported second-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.45 per share, up 68.6% year over year and beating estimates by 25%. Revenues climbed 52.8% to $1.47 billion, exceeding consensus by 17%. The strong performance was driven by exceptional demand from AI data centres and infrastructure markets. Organic sales increased 47%, with new products contributing more than 30 percentage points to growth. Systems Protection generated sales of $1.07 billion, up 69.6% year over year with 62% organic growth. Electrical Connections posted sales of $399 million, up 20.5% with 18% organic growth. Backlog remained healthy at $2.5 billion. The company announced manufacturing expansion for liquid cooling and launched 14 new products during the quarter.
nVent expands data center liquid cooling capacity. LONDON - nVent Electric plc (NYSE:NVT), a global leader in electrical connection and protection solutions, today announced the lease of additional manufacturing space at a second location in Blaine, Minnesota. The new 160,000 square-foot site will expand nVent's capacity to manufacture data center liquid cooling solutions, supporting the surging demand for liquid cooling technologies that enable artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing. This marks nVent's third data center liquid cooling capacity expansion in three years, adding more than 400,000 square feet of new space overall. The new site is expected to begin production in the first half of 2027 and employ more than 200 people. "Expanding our data center capacity reflects the growing need for liquid cooling solutions and the strength of customer demand," said Sara Zawoyski, President, nVent Systems Protection. "With more than a decade of liquid cooling leadership, deep technical expertise, and a proven ability to manufacture at scale, nVent is well positioned to lead the AI-driven shift to liquid cooling and high-performance computing." nVent is a leader and innovator in liquid cooling with more than a decade of experience helping global cloud service providers and data center operators solve increasingly complex cooling challenges. The company has deployed more than two gigawatts of liquid cooling and collaborates closely with leading chip manufacturers and hyperscalers to develop solutions that are future-ready for the next generation of AI infrastructure.
nVent will add 200-plus jobs in Blaine as sales soar by 53%. Liquid cooling products for data centers help fuel the company's rapid growth. August 01, 2026 One day after the Commerce Department reported that the U.S. economy grew at a 1.5% rate in the second quarter, nVent, a global company with its management office in St. Louis Park, reported Friday that its second-quarter sales jumped by 53%. The company is part of the rapidly growing data center economy - those businesses that provide products and services to build and operate data centers. In contrast, the U.S. gross domestic product figure released Thursday documented a relatively flat economy that's burdened by inflation and the effects of the Iran War. Sales are so robust at nVent that the company announced Friday it will add 160,000 square feet of manufacturing space at a second Blaine location to produce liquid cooling products for data centers. Collective giving reflects a simple truth: Meaningful change happens when people work together. That new Blaine facility is expected to employ more than 200 people and begin production in the first half of 2027. This is the third time in three years that nVent is increasing manufacturing capacity and jobs in the Twin Cities suburbs. In 2025, it added 140,000 square feet in Anoka, and that was followed by a 117,000-square-foot expansion in Blaine this year. nVent, with its principal office in London, was spun off from Pentair in 2018. The global company has more than 11,000 employees and continues to make new hires as the business grows. By April of this year, it employed nearly 2,100 people in Minnesota. About 1,500 of them work at two nVent locations in Anoka. "Expanding our data center capacity reflects the growing need for liquid cooling solutions and the strength of customer demand," Sara Zawoyski, president of nVent Systems Protection, said in a prepared statement. "With more than a decade of liquid cooling leadership, deep technical expertise, and a proven ability to manufacture at scale, nVent is well positioned to lead the AI-driven shift to liquid cooling and high-performance computing." The torrid pace of growth at nVent was apparent in many of the numbers it released Friday about its second-quarter performance. Sales increased 53% to $1.5 billion in the second quarter. "Our portfolio transformation continued to drive performance as we had another tremendous quarter, with record sales and earnings per share," Beth Wozniak, nVent chair and CEO, said in a prepared statement. "We saw significant data center growth and new products contributed more than 30 points to sales growth." The company's quarterly operating income was $301 million, up 92% from $157 million in the second quarter of 2025. In an early 2026 interview with Twin Cities Business, Wozniak commented on the fast company growth she was leading. "At the time that we spun [in 2018], our complete data center business was less than $100 million [a year], and today it's $1 billion," she said. In that same interview, she said the company's longer-term goal is to reach $10 billion in annual nVent revenue. The company's portfolio has been modified to focus on high-growth products and industries. In Friday's news release, Wozniak emphasized that the company's excellent performance is the result of nVent employees delivering what its customers want and need. "As a result of our strong second-quarter performance and momentum across our portfolio, we are significantly raising our full-year sales and EPS guidance," Wozniak said. The company's new estimate for full-year 2026 sales growth is 37% to 39%. Previous nVent guidance was 26% to 28%. The company had expected full-year 2026 earnings per share to range from $3.68 to $3.78 on a GAAP basis and adjusted EPS of $4.45 to $4.55. On Friday, nVent boosted its EPS guidance for full-year 2026 to $4.29 to $4.39 on a GAAP basis and adjusted EPS to $5.00 to $5.10.
nVent Electric reported record second-quarter results driven by AI data centre demand and power utilities growth. Sales reached $1.47 billion, up 53% year-over-year, with 47% organic growth. Adjusted earnings per share rose 69% to $1.45, whilst adjusted operating margin improved 110 basis points to 21.9%. Free cash flow increased 125% to $167 million. Infrastructure organic sales more than doubled, led by data centres. The company raised its full-year outlook and announced plans for a third Minnesota facility to expand liquid-cooling capacity. Chair Beth Wozniak cited strong infrastructure demand and improved short-cycle business performance. New products contributed over 30 percentage points to sales growth.
