Extracted verbatim from the PH Q1 2026 earnings call transcript. Speaker, section, and specificity tier surfaced for each mention.
- T2Q&A· CEO· Customer demand signalthe data center business—I know it is small but growing quickly. Is it moving the needle on growth rates? Any updates on size and growth profile?
“It is still approximately 1% of our sales, but we have great exposure and it is growing nicely. It is not large enough to have its own vertical right now. This is a great example of how our interconnected technologies come together to provide value for customers. We are working with all the industry leaders. It is very fast growing; we can provide liquid cooling systems and subsystem components. With the increase in data centers, there is a secondary benefit around power gen, automation, and construction. This is a great overall impact for Parker-Hannifin Corporation.”
