MOD's ability to expand alongside the AI data center boom is fueling huge earnings growth.
The stock jumped 750% in the last three years, and its technicals are flashing a buy signal.
The stock market has rallied off its April lows, hitting multiple all-time highs in the process. Investors are often nervous about buying stocks or ETFs at new highs based on the idea that they already missed their chance.
But if you never buy stocks or ETFs at or near new highs, you might never buy anything, especially in strong bull markets.
Stock market history dating back to 1970 shows that strength leads to more strength. The average 12-month price return for the S&P 500 after reaching an all-time high was 9.1%, while the average price return from investing all other days was 8.7%, according to JPMorgan data.
That said, not all stocks have participated in the rally, with roughly 200 S&P 500 stocks in the red in 2025.
As the stock market hits new highs, investors should buy stocks that are also hitting new peaks. The stocks the screen puts on your radar have also experienced strong upward earnings revisions activity, earning them a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

The thermal management giant posted a huge beat-and-raise Q1 of fiscal 2026 at the end of July. MOD is projected to grow its sales by over 11% in FY26 and 14% next year to reach $3.28 billion, boosted by “continued momentum and higher sales of data center products, along with organic and inorganic growth in the HVAC Technologies product group.”
Its FY27 earnings estimate has jumped 8% since its July 30 release, with Modine projected to grow its earnings by 14% this year and 31% next year. Plus, its upbeat EPS revisions earn it a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and reverse its recent downward trend.

MOD surged after its release back up to its all-time highs from late 2024 and early 2025.
The stock has gained a whopping 750% in the past three years. Its recent charge has Modine neck-and-neck with the S&P 500 over the past 25 years, and it’s crushed its industry.
Despite sitting right below its all-time highs, Modine trades 11% below its average Zacks price target, and it completed the bullish golden cross (50-day MA moving above the 200-day) earlier this month.
Long-term investors should consider buying the thermal management stock that Wall Street loves (all seven of the brokerage recommendations Zacks has for Modine are “Strong Buys”).
