“Cordant's power-related orders doubled year-over-year, continuing strong momentum from 2025 when power orders rose by more than 80%. This robust growth highlights both the rapid adoption of our digital offerings within the power sector and our commitment to advancing the global transformation of power systems.”
— Lorenzo Simonelli, BKR earnings callCordant Asset Health, Cordant - T2Q&A· CEO· Customer demand signalCan you kind of talk about those 3 drivers, kind of how you see those playing out? It looks like the pace has you on track to maybe upside for your '26 order guide. And maybe if you could also comment on the longer-term stability of the data center demand, which is clearly an issue a lot of people are talking about.
“global power demand is in a multiyear growth cycle. And it's important to remember, we're only in the early stages and the current projections indicate that power demand will double by 2040, driven by factors such as data center and AI compute, digital infrastructure expansion, electrification, including EV adoption and the transition of industrial processes from fuel-based to electric power solutions”
