What NVT does

Makes electrical enclosures, connectors, cable protection and thermal-management gear that keep equipment safe and running.

Sells through electrical distributors to contractors and equipment makers, who specify its Hoffman, Erico and Raychem brands on projects, so orders follow construction and plant-building activity. Spun out of Pentair in 2018 as a pure electrical business. Data-center and power-utility projects have become a larger part of what it sells.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal).
