Comfort Systems USA, a contractor installing HVAC and electrical systems inside AI data centers, trades at nearly twice Nvidia's forward earnings multiple, even though Nvidia's chips and CUDA ecosystem made the entire buildout possible. x.comÂ
Modine Manufacturing is a pure play on data-center thermal management, and its November 18 investor day could send it higher if it confidently sets big 2028-29 targets.

Its valuation, which had grown stretched along with Vertiv's, now looks more intriguing than ever. x.comÂ
