Schneider Electric is benefiting from unprecedented AI-driven demand for data center equipment, alongside global electrification and digitalization trends. The company raised its sales forecast after strong Q2 earnings, sees sustained demand for years, and is leveraging acquisitions to enhance its AI and industrial intelligence capabilities.
Data centers will require another 200 gigawatts of installed capacity by 2030. Schneider confirmed 70% of its turnover is related to digital activity and is launching new R&D in India specifically for liquid cooling. The AI boom is physically constrained by power and heat. As compute density increases (Nvidia chips), traditional air cooling fails. Schneider is positioned as a "pick and shovel" play on the physical infrastructure required to run AI, regardless of which model wins. LONG SCHNEIDER as a primary beneficiary of the energy efficiency and cooling capex cycle. Supply chain bottlenecks for chips/components slowing down data center construction.
