  "account": "AAON, a leading HVAC equipment manufacturer, saw its stock soar today after the company raised its full-year growth forecast. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment maker reported a staggering 84% year-over-year increase in net sales to $707 million in the third quarter. This growth was primarily driven by its artificial intelligence (AI)-focused BASX segment, which experienced an astonishing 207% jump in net sales to $231 million.\n\nThe company's high-performance thermal management solutions are key to keeping data centers cool. As demand for its products surges, AAON has been expanding its manufacturing capacity. CEO Matt Tobolski explained during a call with analysts that compute density is rising, power availability is limited, efficiency is critical, and thermal management is becoming increasingly important as systems become more power-dense.\n\nAAON's impressive sales growth, coupled with its cost-cutting efforts, has led to higher profit margins. Operating income jumped 129% to $100 million, while adjusted earnings per share increased 124% to $0.83. Encouraged by these strong results, AAON has revised its full-year guidance, now expecting net sales to grow by 72% to 75% in 2026, up from the previous forecast of 55% to 60%.\n\nCEO Tobolski highlighted that customer engagement remains robust, the opportunity pipeline is healthy, and the company is strengthening its position with strategic data center customers.
