Not the sexy AI name — but maybe the useful one
Everyone loves to stare at the AI headline stocks: the chip giants, the cloud kings, the startup with the $100 billion vibe and no public ticker. But Modine is making a quieter pitch: if the AI buildout needs cooling, someone has to sell the coolers.
The company says its data center revenue should top $2 billion in fiscal 2028. That’s a big jump, and it suggests Modine thinks the AI infrastructure boom still has plenty of room to run.
Why investors should care
This isn’t just “nice growth” territory. Data centers are power-hungry, heat-spewing beasts, and the businesses that help keep them running can get pulled into the AI capex supercycle without needing to build the models themselves.
For investors, that means Modine could be one of those sneaky beneficiaries: not the star quarterback, but definitely on the championship team. If management’s outlook proves right, the market may have to re-rate the stock as more than just a sleepy industrial name.
Big picture
The AI trade is getting broader by the day. First it was chips, then networking, then power, then cooling. Modine wants you to add one more winner to the list.
