Several infrastructure and metals firms reported record-breaking financial results, largely driven by surging demand from the data center sector. Advanced Drainage Systems and Watts Water Technologies achieved record sales and earnings, with the latter raising its full-year outlook due to this momentum. While Wheaton Precious Metals benefited from higher commodity prices, PPL highlighted significant long-term investment potential of up to $12 billion tied to data center growth through 2032. Despite some operational challenges at firms like Fluence Energy, the overall trend reflects strong momentum across industrial and utility sectors.
