CIBC Lifts Enerflex Price Target to CA$30 on 450 MW Data Center Power Contract
CIBC raised its price target on Enerflex to CA$30 from CA$27.50 after updating its model for a 450 MW behind-the-meter power generation award tied to a North American data center developer, while keeping a Neutral rating on the stock. The firm had already lifted its target to CA$30 in July 2026, and it cited strong Engineered Systems bookings and a modest EBITDA beat in the second quarter as positives supporting execution on the core business. CIBC noted that earlier weakness in the shares followed a lack of secured data center power generation bookings, which it believes pushed potential catalysts into later quarters. On the updated assumptions, Simply Wall St's fair value for Enerflex rose to CA$46.94 from CA$44.50, with revenue growth now 6.72% versus 3.39% previously, net profit margin at 8.64% versus 9.01%, a future P/E of 18.29x versus 17.87x, and a discount rate of 6.83% versus 6.68%.

Amazon Pledges $1 Billion to Communities Around AI Data Centers
Amazon is pledging to invest $1 billion into the communities surrounding its AI data centers, a move aimed at easing local opposition to the facilities. Matt Garman, who heads Amazon Web Services, laid out the commitment in a 3,000-word essay, saying the money will go toward things like building out schools in the communities where the company builds data centers. Garman also said Amazon will no longer ask communities to sign non-disclosure agreements, a practice some legislators have discussed banning by law. The discussion comes as state governors tout data centers as job creators, though critics note the facilities are labor-light once construction ends, leaving unions that represent electricians, plumbers, construction builders and HVAC workers supportive of the projects while communities question what remains afterward.

United StatesEMCOR Q2 2026 Revenue Jumps 19.8% to Record $5.15 Billion
EMCOR Group reported record second-quarter 2026 results, with revenues climbing 19.8% year over year to $5.15 billion and operating income surging 31.8% to $547.3 million. Operating margin expanded 100 basis points to 10.6%, while earnings per share soared 34.8% to $9.06. Remaining Performance Obligations reached a record $17.14 billion, up 43.9% year over year and 29% from December 2025, with Network & Communications, Water & Wastewater, and Institutional and Healthcare among the biggest contributors. The company is also widening its reach through M&A, as five recently announced electrical acquisitions bring roughly $625 million in trailing-12-month revenues, $105 million in EBITDA and about 1,500 employees. EMCOR said labor shortages, tariffs, supply-chain volatility and project-mix shifts remain risks, but its diversified demand base and acquisition strategy could make its broad market footprint a meaningful competitive advantage.
