DA Davidson has reiterated a Buy recommendation and a $200.00 price objective on Modine Manufacturing (NYSE:MOD) as the company prepares to release fiscal third-quarter 2026 results on February 4. At the time of the research note, Modine shares traded at $172.28, which DA Davidson estimates represents roughly a 16% upside to its target, though InvestingPro data flags the stock as potentially trading above its Fair Value.
The research team said it conducted routine quarterly channel checks with North American sources tied to key overhead and commercial vehicle customers to gauge market activity ahead of the earnings announcement. Those outreach efforts revealed a mix of dynamics across end markets.
On the positive side, several original equipment manufacturers are reporting sequential acceleration in production for construction equipment and mid-size agricultural products. Conversely, the firm noted a continuing downturn in Class VIII vehicle production, a negative signal for Modine’s exposure to that segment.
Despite the divergent signals across product lines, Modine’s stock performance has been notable, with a price gain of 31% over the past six months and almost 50% over the last year. DA Davidson said its price target framework and Modine’s performance-target guidance remain "appropriately de-risked" in light of the mixed indicators across the company’s businesses.
Central to DA Davidson’s positive view are two areas of Modine’s business: the profitability of its Climate Solutions segment and the outlook for its Data Center products. The firm highlights these as principal supports for maintaining the Buy rating and the $200 target. Modine’s reported revenue growth of 8.1% and a beta of 1.7 were cited in the note; the beta indicates the stock’s relatively higher volatility.

In related corporate activity, Modine and Gentherm Inc. announced a significant merger involving Modine’s Performance Technologies business. The deal is valued at approximately $1 billion and will leave Modine shareholders with about 40% ownership of the combined company, while Gentherm shareholders will hold roughly 60%.
Modine has also amended its credit facilities, increasing its revolving credit line by $150 million to a total of $550 million, with JPMorgan Chase Bank serving as administrative agent. The amendment provides flexibility for up to $250 million of future incremental revolving commitments and term loans.
DA Davidson’s reiteration of a Buy rating followed public comments by NVIDIA’s CEO regarding chip cooling needs, which the research firm cited as relevant context for Modine’s cooling-related businesses. Separately, UBS initiated coverage on Modine with a Buy rating and set a $173 price target, likewise emphasizing the company’s cooling systems franchise in its view.
On the personnel front, Modine said Eric S. McGinnis, President of Climate Solutions, will retire effective June 30, 2026. The company noted McGinnis will stay in his role through the transition period to help ensure continuity.
