Summary
nVent delivered a blowout second quarter, with sales of $1.5 billion up 53% year-over-year and reported EPS more than doubling to $1.32. The surge was driven by data center demand, which contributed over 30 percentage points to sales growth, and the Systems Protection segment led with 70% revenue growth and margin expansion.
Operating leverage was evident: operating income rose 92% and free cash flow more than doubled to $167 million. The company raised full-year 2026 guidance across the board, now expecting 37–39% reported sales growth (up from 26–28%) and adjusted EPS of $5.00–$5.10 (up from $4.45–$4.55). Q3 guidance of 32–35% sales growth suggests the momentum continues, though at a slightly moderated pace.
For retail holders, the results validate nVent's positioning in the data center infrastructure buildout and demonstrate the company's ability to convert rapid revenue growth into strong cash generation. The upward guidance revision signals management confidence that the demand environment remains robust.
