GPU hunger is turning into a power story. SpaceX committing up to $40b of callable debt for Nvidia hardware signals that the real bottleneck is no longer just chips but the electrical muscle and cooling that keep AI data centers alive. Investors watching this cash flood may not want to ignore the suppliers enabling it. This piece walks through three stocks exposed to that news and explains why their role in the AI buildout matters.
The stocks highlighted below are just a small sample, and the full screen surfaced 35 more large-cap power and electrical infrastructure companies with equally compelling narratives that are not covered in this article. If you want to go straight to the broader opportunity set, analyze and identify your own highest conviction ideas directly in the AI Data Center Power and Electrical Infrastructure Suppliers screener.
Sterling Infrastructure (STRL)
Sterling Infrastructure plugs directly into the screener’s theme because it handles the earthwork, power heavy site prep and structural foundations that AI data centers need long before any GPUs are racked. That early stage role underpins its investment case.
Sterling Infrastructure generates most of its revenue from E Infrastructure Solutions at about US$2.4b, with Transportation Solutions at roughly US$612 million and Building Solutions near US$385 million, all in the United States. The stock’s market cap is about US$10.9b.
"Sterling Infrastructure’s multi year pool of signed backlog and high probability future phase work now exceeds US$7b, heavily weighted to mission critical data center and semiconductor projects."
What investors cannot ignore is how sensitive that story becomes if one unseen pressure on future profitability shifts even slightly.
If that pressure point matters to you, read the full narrative for Sterling Infrastructure to see how sterling backlog strength and future contract visibility could be masking or amplifying the real risk.
Munters Group (OM:MTRS)
Munters Group is effectively selling the air that AI runs on, with climate systems that keep dense GPU halls and their electrical hardware within safe humidity and temperature ranges.
Munters Group earns about SEK 7.8b from Air Tech, SEK 5.9b from Data Center Technologies and SEK 1.8b from Food Tech, with a market value near SEK 24b.
"Acceleration in demand for data centers and cloud infrastructure, now supported by around SEK 15b of Data Center Technologies backlog with deliveries extending into 2028 and at least 30% guided organic net sales growth in 2026, gives Munters Group multi year visibility that can support revenue and earnings."
What really shapes the Munters Group story now is how one unresolved cost and mix shift affects future AI linked profitability.
That unresolved shift is exactly why you may want to read the full narrative for Munters Group and see how Munters Group’s AI demand could interact with future profitability.
Advanced Energy Industries (AEIS)
Advanced Energy Industries matters for this screener because it builds the precision power gear that lets AI data centers and chip fabs run safely at high load without frying anything, and that role sits on top of a single, very concentrated revenue engine.
"Advanced Energy makes precision power-conversion equipment, a spectacularly boring sentence describing some increasingly important technology. Modern semiconductor fabs and AI data centers don't simply plug extremely sophisticated equipment into the wall and hope the grid is having a good afternoon."
What investors cannot ignore is what happens to that AI power story if one unseen pressure on future profitability or demand shifts even slightly.
If that pressure point is on your mind, read the full narrative for Advanced Energy Industries to see how Advanced Energy Industries’ AI exposure, customer concentration and power tech could be decoupling risk from opportunity.
