Over recent periods, the company has seen quarterly revenue move from US$647.2 million with EPS of US$0.92 in FY 2025 Q4 to FY 2026 quarterly figures ranging between US$682.8 million and US$954.4 million. Over the same span, TTM EPS has shifted between US$1.86 and US$3.57 as one off items and margins have moved around. With forecasts pointing to strong earnings and revenue growth but a thinner 3.4% net margin after that US$148.9 million loss, this set of results puts the quality and direction of profitability firmly in focus for investors.

NYSE:MOD Earnings & Revenue History as at May 2026

3.4% margin and US$148.9 million hit pull on profitability

  • Trailing 12 month net profit margin sits at 3.4%, compared with 6.3% a year earlier, after a one off US$148.9 million loss that weighed on the reported US$121.5 million of net income on US$3.2b of revenue.
  • Consensus narrative expects demand from data centers and energy efficient HVAC to support higher margins over time, which sits in tension with the current 3.4% margin and recent loss.
    • Supporters point to growing exposure to data center cooling and HVAC, where they see a long runway for higher margin revenue, while the latest figures still reflect the impact of restructuring and exits from lower growth businesses.
    • The margin slide from 6.3% to 3.4% shows how execution around acquisitions, divestitures and capacity build out can affect profitability in the near term even when the end markets look attractive.

Strong revenue ramp, but Q3 loss breaks the streak

  • Quarterly revenue increased from US$616.8 million in FY 2025 Q3 to US$954.4 million in FY 2026 Q4, while Basic EPS ranged from US$0.78 in FY 2025 Q3 to a loss of US$0.90 in FY 2026 Q3 before recovering to US$1.36 in FY 2026 Q4.
  • Bears focus on execution risk around exiting US$250 million to US$300 million of light duty business and integrating acquisitions, and the earnings pattern across FY 2026 highlights how these shifts can affect results.
    • The move from a loss of US$47.4 million in FY 2026 Q3 back to US$73.3 million of net income in FY 2026 Q4 shows how sensitive quarterly profit can be while the portfolio is being reshaped.
    • Plans to exit legacy operations and concentrate on data center and HVAC lines mean a greater share of profit will depend on how smoothly new capacity and acquisitions are absorbed into the business.

Rich P/S multiple and US$279.93 share price

  • The stock is cited as trading at US$279.93, compared with a DCF fair value of US$243.05 and an analyst price target of US$295.57, while the P/S multiple of 5.4x sits above both the US Building industry at 2.0x and peers at 2.6x.
  • Analysts who lean bullish argue that forecasts for about 20.4% yearly revenue growth and roughly 72% yearly earnings growth could justify these richer valuation marks, yet the current 3.4% margin and debt coverage concerns make that dependence on future execution clear.
    • For those forecasts to play out, assumptions include revenue reaching US$5.3b and earnings of US$869.6 million by around 2029, up from US$97.8 million referenced today.
    • On those numbers, the stock would trade on a P/E of 21x, compared with a much higher multiple today, which leaves limited room for disappointment if growth or margin expansion is slower than expected.
