Operating margins remained above historical averages for 3.5 years; revenue growth is expected to return to 3%-5% after the transformer and generator investment cycle.
Capacity and investment priorities
Largest investment cycle to date targets internationalization, capacity expansion, modernization and automation; capacity constraints are expected to ease from 2026.
Transformer facility investment of BRL 765m is scheduled for Q1 2027 completion; Colombia transformer site investment is BRL 109m, also due Q1 2027.
U.S. special-transformer capacity is set to rise 50% with BRL 430m investment by Q1 2028; Betim T&D expansion is scheduled for 2026, and Gravataí investment is BRL 128m for Q1 2027 completion.

Data center portfolio and opportunity
Portfolio spans substations, transformers, switchgear, UPS, busways, generators, motors, drives, automation and cooling; addressable share is ~15% of facility cost, excluding servers.
Portfolio roadmap targets a robust offering by 2030; data center demand is driven by digital transformation, 5G, IoT and AI, with higher rack power density supporting 800 VDC adoption.
AI training racks already exceed 500 kW; 800 VDC and solid-state converters are emerging technology opportunities under consideration.
U.S. data centers represented 18.5% of transformer order intake; Latin American activity is developing rapidly, with supplies in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay.
Brazil's REDATA regime, approved September 2026, offers tax benefits and requires renewable or low-emission power; announced U.S. contracts include 25,000 liquid-cooling motors and 9,000 compact ECM motors.
