The ongoing AI build-out is fueling demand for innovative power and cooling solutions, particularly liquid cooling systems, which are growing three times faster than legacy cooling solutions. Partnerships with hyperscalers and chip manufacturers position nVent Electric to capitalize on this trend.NVT’s acquisitions of Trachte and Electrical Products Group (EPG) are expected to have contributed significantly to its third-quarter 2025 performance. These acquisitions have strengthened the company’s position in the high-growth infrastructure vertical, particularly in power utilities, data centers, and renewables. The acquisitions have also added substantial backlog, which is expected to have driven revenue growth in the to-be-reported quarter.The company’s backlog has grown significantly, increasing more than 4x year over year in the second quarter of 2025. This backlog, particularly in Systems Protection and data solutions, provides visibility into future revenues and is expected to have contributed to strong third-quarter performance.However, NVT is anticipated to have faced challenges from inflation, tariff impacts, and softer demand in industrial and commercial residential markets during the third quarter of 2025.What Our Model SaysAccording to the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat.
