Was 7, now 8. RMT with Gentherm formalized Jan 2026: MOD receives $210M cash + shareholders get ~40% of combined Gentherm, total ~$1B deal closing end of 2026. Data center revenue +78% Q3 FY26 to $296.9M — hyperscale + colo demand intact. Post-RMT, MOD becomes a pure-play climate/data center cooling company, removing Performance Technologies drag permanently. Margin compression (-280-380bps in Climate Solutions) is transient — manufacturing expansion ramp inefficiency. Company invested $101M capex YTD + committed $100M incremental for US data center capacity. Net debt ~$516M but $210M RMT proceeds will de-lever. Thesis is now confirmed, not speculative.
Was 6, now 7. Q3 10-Q validates data center thesis strongly (+78% YoY DC revenue). The Gentherm RMT announcement is thesis-enhancing — transforms MOD into pure-play Climate Solutions with no automotive drag. Strategic clarity dramatically improved. Raising conviction because: (1) DC growth accelerating not decelerating, (2) Management executing on portfolio simplification via RMT, (3) Bolt-on acquisitions (AbsolutAire, L.B. White, Climate by Design) strengthen HVAC/heating adjacencies. Holding at 7 not 8 because: (1) Still no DCF to anchor valuation, (2) Debt elevated pre-RMT, (3) RMT execution risk remains, (4) Gross margin compression during scale-up phase. Need to see RMT close and margin stabilization for 8+.

KEY VALUE DRIVERS
Spearman correlation — what moves this valuation most
Data center cooling revenue up 78% YoY, now 51% of Climate Solutions segment. Liquid cooling market growing from $6.6B to $38B by 2033 at 29% CAGR. Spinning off Performance Technologies to become a pure-play on the AI power/cooling bottleneck.
Three acquisitions ($186M) funded by debt — long-term debt spiked to $571M. Gross margin compressed 140bps despite 30% revenue growth, suggesting integration friction or unfavorable mix. Performance Technologies segment still dragging (-3.5% revenue), and no spinoff timeline disclosed.
Data center cooling margin compression below 20%, spinoff cancelled, debt/EBITDA above 3.5x
