SPX Corp (SPXC)

Q3 2026
▲3▼1

Data Center Cooling Demand Drives SPX Growth; Geopolitical Risk Lurks

  • Data Center Cooling Demand Accelerates SPX's HVAC backlog jumped 38% to $755 million, driven by data centers. Management now expects data center sales to grow 70% in 2026, up from 50%, as demand for cooling systems accelerates. This strong demand pushes revenue and profits higher, boosting the stock.

    This is the core growth driver behind SPXC's recent gains and raised guidance.

  • Neptronic Acquisition Expands HVAC Offerings SPX acquired Neptronic for about $430 million, adding HVAC controls and thermal management products for data centers and other markets. This expands SPX's product lineup and sales channels, supporting future growth and earnings.

    The acquisition is a new strategic move that broadens SPX's HVAC capabilities and growth potential.

  • Strong Q2 Results and Raised Guidance SPX reported Q2 revenue up 22.9% to $679 million and raised full-year guidance, citing data center demand and the Neptronic acquisition. Adjusted EPS rose 22.4% to $2.02. The strong results and outlook pushed the stock up 14%.

    The earnings beat and guidance raise directly lifted investor confidence and the stock price.

  • Geopolitical Tensions and Hawkish Fed Pressure Industrials An Iran missile attack on tankers raised oil prices and inflation fears, while the Fed turned hawkish, pushing bond yields higher. SPX shares fell 6.4% as industrial stocks sold off. This risk remains a headwind for the sector.

    This event caused a sharp drop in SPXC and highlights ongoing external risks.

Siemens Energy rides record gas turbine demand and AI data center deals

  • Record gas turbine orders, Siemens Energy leads Global gas turbine orders hit a record 38 GW in Q2, up 71% year-over-year, with Siemens Energy leading at 12.5 GW. Surging electricity demand from data centers and manufacturing onshoring is driving this, and tight manufacturing capacity means strong pricing power and a growing backlog for Siemens Energy.

    This is the core demand driver behind the stock's momentum, showing the big-picture force at work.

  • Q3 profit surges 70.5%, outlook confirmed Siemens Energy reported Q3 net income up 70.5% to €1.188 billion, revenue up 17.5% to a record €11.447 billion, and orders up 7.9%. Profit before special items more than tripled, and the company confirmed its fiscal 2026 outlook, signaling strong execution and financial health.

    This is the key financial update that reassures investors about profitability and future guidance.

  • New 1 GW AI data center turbine deal with Babcock & Wilcox Siemens Energy signed an agreement with Babcock & Wilcox to supply 20 steam turbine generator sets totaling 1 GW for AI data center projects. This expands Siemens Energy's footprint in the fast-growing data center power market and adds to its backlog.

    This is a concrete new contract that directly boosts future revenue and shows demand from AI data centers.

  • Brazil FPSO contract with SBM Offshore Siemens Energy won a contract to supply power generation and gas compression systems for two Petrobras FPSOs in Brazil, with 16 modular systems. This diversifies order intake into offshore oil and gas and adds long-term service potential.

    This is a new international order that broadens Siemens Energy's business beyond power generation.

Siemens Energy wins new orders but faces valuation downgrade

  • New offshore wind contract Siemens Energy won a contract to supply transmission technology for the North Sea Connector 2 offshore wind project, which will handle up to 2 gigawatts. This adds to its order book and supports future revenue, pushing the stock up.

    This is a new contract win that directly boosts demand for Siemens Energy's products.

  • Oman power plant deal Siemens Energy will supply six gas turbines and generators for two power plants in Oman, plus 20-year service agreements. This large order increases its backlog and provides long-term revenue, a positive for the stock.

    A major new contract that adds to Siemens Energy's order book and future earnings.

  • Barclays downgrade to underweight Barclays downgraded Siemens Energy to underweight (sell), warning its €145 billion market value already prices in peak conditions for gas turbines and cash flow. The stock fell 6.55% as investors worried about a possible downturn.

    This is a new analyst action that directly caused a sharp price drop and reflects valuation concerns.

  • Weak German economy weighs on demand Germany's services sector shrank at the fastest pace in over three years, signaling economic weakness. This could reduce demand for Siemens Energy's products and services, and the stock dropped 5.5% on the news.
