Analysis · MOD · Manufacturing
A 90% surge in Data Centers revenue powered Modine to a strong quarter, with total sales climbing 28% to $874.1M. Adjusted EPS of $1.53 beat expectations, and the company reaffirmed its full-year outlook for 20–35% revenue growth and $650–680M in adjusted EBITDA. Yet gross margins compressed across all segments—Data Centers margin fell 960 bps to 20.2% due to supply chain bottlenecks and production ramp costs. The market will weigh the robust top-line growth against the margin pressure and negative free cash flow. The pending spin-off of Performance Technologies remains on track for Q4 2026, a key catalyst for the stock.
