According to InvestingPro, the company has demonstrated strong momentum with a 59% return over the past year.
The new CDU platform provides scalable cooling capacities ranging from 500kW to over 10MW, designed to help data centers transition to liquid cooling as rack densities increase. The units can be positioned either in-row next to heat-generating equipment or along the whitespace perimeter to support various liquid-cooling configurations. As a prominent player in the Building Products industry, Johnson Controls continues to strengthen its market position through innovation, with InvestingPro analysis showing the company maintains a "GOOD" overall financial health score.
"The launch of this expanded series of CDU technology marks a pivotal step in our commitment to advance data center cooling, from chip to chiller," said Austin Domenici, vice president and general manager of Data Center Solutions at Johnson Controls, in a press release statement.
The company indicated that its thermal management solutions can reduce non-IT energy consumption by more than 50% in most North American data center hubs. For large-scale AI computing facilities, this could translate to energy savings equivalent to powering over 200,000 households annually.
