YTD as of 2026-07-10 · source: Yahoo Finance
A key supplier of datacenter electrification and distribution, directly exposed to the surging power demand of AI data centers (220GW by 2030). The thesis is that co-developing an 800VDC 1MW rack power architecture with NVIDIA pre-empts the next-gen standard, and ~40% of its electrification research targets data centers — its edge is a systems position bundling intelligent distribution, backup and cooling. Customers extend to hyperscalers like NVIDIA, Microsoft and Amazon, but risks are the datacenter capex cycle and raw-material (copper, steel) costs. In graph terms, hyperscaler power investment transmits into ABB distribution and power-equipment demand.
