• FY 2025 Adjusted EPS guidance midpoint is $6.50.

SPX Technologies, Inc. (SPXC) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how SPX Technologies, Inc. (SPXC) plans to grow by introducing new products, which is the Product Development quadrant of the Ansoff Matrix. This means taking what you know-your existing customer base in HVAC and Detection & Measurement (D&M)-and selling them something new or significantly enhanced.

The company's overall financial momentum supports this focus. For the full year 2025, SPX Technologies raised its revenue guidance to a range of $2.225 to $2.275 billion, representing an approximately 13% year-on-year increase at the midpoint. Adjusted EBITDA guidance was also raised to $495 to $515 million, implying a roughly 20% year-on-year increase at the midpoint.

Here's a quick look at the latest reported segment performance to frame these product efforts:

Metric (As of Latest Reported Period)	HVAC Segment	Detection & Measurement (D&M) Segment	Total Company (Q3 2025)
Revenue (Millions USD)	$376.7 (Q2 2025)	$175.7 (Q2 2025)	$592.8 (Q3 2025)
Segment Income Margin (%)	25.4% (Q2 2025)	22.8% (Q2 2025)	23.0% (Q3 2025)
Year-over-Year Revenue Growth	5.7% (Q2 2025 Total)	21.3% (Q2 2025 Total)	22.6% (Q3 2025 Total)

Fully Commercialize the Olympus Max Cooling Solution

You are pushing the Marley OlympusV Max cooling solution, which is designed for mission-critical data centers to optimize both energy and water usage. This product is key because the global data center cooling market is on a steep path, projected to grow at a 12% annual rate through 2030. SPX Technologies already holds a dominant position, with over 50% market share in water-based cooling systems. Still, data centers currently represent only about 7% of the HVAC segment's total revenue, showing significant room for this specific product line to expand within the existing customer base. The OlympusV Max features a unique recirculating water system that decouples water distribution from water usage, helping to limit total water use.

Integrate KTS and Legacy TCI Technologies

In the Detection & Measurement (D&M) segment, the integration of the recently acquired Kranze Technology Solutions (KTS) with legacy TCI (Communication Technologies) is about launching joint products with better margins. KTS was anticipated to contribute approximately $90 million in revenue for the full year 2025, with a segment income margin modestly above the D&M average. The impact of this integration is visible in the D&M backlog, which surged to $346 million in Q1 2025, with KTS accounting for approximately 22% of that backlog increase. The goal is to leverage KTS's digital interoperability and tactical networking with TCI's existing offerings to create higher-margin solutions for current D&M customers. The KTS acquisition was expected to be modestly accretive to adjusted EPS in 2025.

Develop Smart, Connected Versions of Cooling Towers and Boilers

For existing industrial clients using cooling towers and boilers, the focus is on digital enhancement. The OlympusV series already incorporates user-friendly, smart controls that let operators choose between Water Conservation Mode and Energy Conservation Mode based on peak load needs. This move toward connected equipment supports the HVAC segment, which saw revenue of $376.7 million in Q2 2025, with a segment income margin of 25.4%. The full-year 2025 revenue guidance for the HVAC segment is set between $1,500 and $1,540 million.

Invest R&D Capital in Next-Generation, Low-GWP Refrigerants

The regulatory environment is forcing product evolution here. Starting in 2025, the EPA is capping Global Warming Potential (GWP) at 750, effectively banning R-410A in new equipment and requiring a shift to lower-GWP refrigerants like R-454B and R-32. This transition is costly; new compatible HVAC systems are expected to see a price increase of up to 20% to 30% due to higher manufacturer production costs. However, the actual reported Research and Development Expenses for SPX Technologies for the twelve months ending September 30, 2025, were $0M, representing a 0% increase year-over-year.

Introduce a New Line of Advanced Fire Detection Systems

Building on the D&M segment's expertise, which includes communication technologies, SPX Technologies has a product like the BLACKTALON Ecosystem from TCI, which is designed to detect, track, and defeat Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). While specific revenue figures for a new line of advanced fire detection systems aren't itemized, the D&M segment is clearly focused on high-tech solutions. The segment's organic revenue growth was 5.5% in Q2 2025, showing that product development in areas like communication technologies is driving some underlying growth.

Finance: Finance needs to model the impact of the anticipated 20% to 30% cost increase on new low-GWP compatible equipment against the $0M R&D spend reported for the trailing twelve months ending September 30, 2025, by next Tuesday.

SPX Technologies, Inc. (SPXC) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how SPX Technologies, Inc. can move beyond its current market footprint, which is a classic Diversification play in the Ansoff Matrix. This means targeting new markets with new products, which is inherently riskier but offers the highest potential reward. The foundation for this aggressive step is clearly in place.

Execute disciplined M&A outside core segments, using the $1.6 billion in liquidity for a new platform. This isn't just theoretical; following Q3 2025 actions, including an equity offering and credit facility refinancing, available capacity now exceeds $1.6 billion. This massive war chest allows SPX Technologies, Inc. to be opportunistic and disciplined simultaneously. The company ended Q3 2025 with $232 million in cash against $502 million in total debt, resulting in a low leverage ratio of approximately 0.5x under the bank credit agreement. This financial strength is the engine for diversification.

Here's a quick look at the financial context supporting this M&A capacity:

Metric	Q3 2025 Actual	FY 2025 Guidance Midpoint
Revenue	$592.8 million	$2.250 billion (Range: $2.225B - $2.275B)
Adjusted EBITDA	$136.1 million	$505 million (Approx. 20% YoY growth)
Available Liquidity Capacity	Exceeds $1.6 billion	N/A
Target M&A Multiple	Average ~11x EBITDA	N/A

The M&A pipeline remains robust, with management noting an attractive pipeline of opportunities. The discipline mentioned is key; the target multiple is around 11x EBITDA.

One specific diversification vector is to acquire a company specializing in water treatment or purification, adjacent to the cooling tower business but a new market. While recent acquisitions like Sigma & Omega were complementary to HVAC, this move targets a new, adjacent end-market. The existing HVAC segment generated $387.4 million in revenue in Q3 2025.

Another path involves developing a proprietary software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for predictive maintenance across all SPX Technologies, Inc. equipment. This leans into the 'Tech-Enabled Moats' and 'Digital/AI' aspects mentioned in the value creation framework. This organic development complements the inorganic push.

You could also enter the industrial automation market by acquiring a small control systems manufacturer, a defintely new area. This would be a true diversification move, distinct from the current core segments of HVAC and Detection & Measurement (which posted $205.4 million in Q3 2025 revenue).

Finally, target the renewable energy sector with new thermal management solutions for battery storage or hydrogen production. SPX Technologies, Inc. is already pushing new thermal management solutions, specifically the Olympus Max data center cooling solution, which is targeting $50 million in 2025 bookings for 2026 revenue. This shows a clear pivot toward high-growth, energy-related infrastructure.

The company has strong visibility into the near term, with 40% of the current backlog scheduled for delivery next year.

• HVAC Q3 2025 Revenue: $387.4 million.
• Detection & Measurement Q3 2025 Revenue: $205.4 million.
• FY 2025 Adjusted EPS Guidance Midpoint: $6.725 (Approx. 21% YoY growth).
• Q3 Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Approximately $91 million.

Finance: draft the initial valuation model for a hypothetical water treatment acquisition based on 11x EBITDA multiples by next Tuesday.
