What SPX Technologies does

Diversified industrial manufacturer making HVAC cooling equipment, heat-transfer products and detection/measurement instruments.

Sells cooling towers, boilers and other heating and ventilation products to building owners and contractors, with replacement and aftermarket parts a steadier line behind new-build orders. Detection tools such as utility locators for finding buried pipes and cables serve a different customer base.

Products and services

  • HVAC (cooling towers, boilers)
  • Detection and Measurement
  • Engineered Solutions (power/process)

Customers

  • Data center operators (cooling)
  • Commercial/industrial building owners

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Industrials
  • Diversified industrial equipment
  • HVAC and process cooling equipment…

What could go right

  • Data center cooling demand growth (AI infrastructure)
  • Non-residential HVAC replacement cycle

What could go wrong

  • Commercial construction/capex cyclicality
  • Raw material cost volatility

Moat: narrow (brand, installed base, distribution). Established brands in niche cooling/heat-transfer categories with long replacement cycles support recurring aftermarket demand.

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).
