nVent reported **$1.515 billion** in third-quarter 2026 revenue, up **44% year over year**, while adjusted EPS rose **67% to $1.52**. The results came as demand for electrical connection and protection equipment remained strong across the company’s end markets.

**Guidance raised** nVent lifted its full-year 2026 adjusted-EPS outlook to **$5.36–$5.39**, from **$5.00–$5.10** previously. It expects reported revenue growth of **48%–49%** and organic growth of **38%–39%**.

The quarter also exceeded late-October analyst expectations of roughly **$1.43–$1.44 billion** in revenue and **$1.39–$1.40** in adjusted EPS, according to published consensus previews. The reported revenue beat was about 5%, while adjusted EPS was roughly 9% above the midpoint of those estimates.

Free cash flow was **$267.9 million**, compared with **$253.2 million** a year earlier, a more modest increase than the earnings growth. nVent did not issue a new full-year free-cash-flow target in the release, so the higher profit outlook should not be read as a directly equivalent cash-flow forecast.

For the fourth quarter, management guided to reported revenue growth of **45%–48%**, organic growth of **26%–29%**, and adjusted EPS of **$1.30–$1.33**. The sequential outlook implies a lower EPS range than the third quarter, making execution against the raised full-year target the key near-term measure.

**What matters next** Investors will be watching whether the unusually strong reported growth is sustained organically and how much of the outlook reflects acquired operations versus underlying demand. The company’s release provides guidance ranges but no new full-year free-cash-flow figure.
