These companies came up with strong results in their last reporting quarter. Market participants are expecting these companies to do robust business this year despite a tough landscape. 

These companies are: Modine Manufacturing Co. (MOD - Free Report) , Atmus Filtration Technologies Inc. (ATMU - Free Report) and LCI Industries (LCII - Free Report) . Each of our picks currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Modine Manufacturing Co.

Modine reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.19 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.99 per share. Quarterly revenues of $805 million surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5.90%.

MOD presents a compelling growth story driven by accelerating data center demand, expanding margins and disciplined portfolio transformation. MOD is benefiting from strong hyperscale exposure and multi-year pipeline visibility, with management expecting 50-70% annual growth in the data center business over the next two fiscal years.

Long-term capacity agreements enhance MOD’s revenue predictability. The pipeline expansion reflects structural AI-driven infrastructure demand, supporting operating leverage and improving earnings visibility.

Modine’s Climate Solutions segment is showing margin expansion momentum. Margins improved sequentially in fiscal third-quarter 2026. For the fourth quarter, the company expects segment margins in the 20-21% range and anticipates exiting fiscal 2026 at its highest quarterly margin level to date. MOD has set a fiscal 2027 margin target of 20-23% for Climate Solutions, implying continued improvement.

Modine is advancing its portfolio transformation through a Reverse Morris Trust that will combine its Performance Technologies business with Gentherm. Post-transaction, MOD will emerge as a pure-play diversified Climate Solutions company. The deal is set to close in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2026.

Modine has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 21.3% and 49.9%, respectively, for the next year (ending March 2027). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for next year’s earnings has improved 0.6% in the last seven days.
