- Carrier Global supplies the cooling backbone of AI data centers—centrifugal chillers (e.g., AquaEdge 30CF) and direct-to-chip liquid cooling integrated through its QuantumLeap thermal-management suite—to remove heat from high-density compute.
- Inclusion rationale
- As of 2026-06, Carrier is actively scaling AI-data-center thermal infrastructure: Carrier Ventures expanded its 2025 investment in ZutaCore (April 2026) to deliver interoperable single- and two-phase, waterless direct-to-chip liquid cooling under its QuantumLeap suite, and launched the AquaEdge 30CF chiller (Feb 2026) for data-center uptime. This places it squarely in the cooling/physical-infrastructure stage as chip power densities push thermal limits.

- Inclusion rationale
- GE Vernova's Electrification segment supplies the transmission and grid-equipment hardware (including Prolec GE transformers) that AI data centers and utilities need to expand capacity, booking $2.4B in equipment orders to support data centers in Q1 2026 alone — more than all of the prior year — placing it squarely in the grid-electrification layer exposed to AI power demand. Its full acquisition of grid-equipment supplier Prolec GE in Q1 2026 added ~$5B to backlog, reinforcing its central role in grid equipment and transmission as of 2026-06.

- MYR Group is one of the largest U.S. specialty electrical contractors building, upgrading, and maintaining high-voltage transmission lines, substations, and distribution networks for electric utilities across North America.
- Inclusion rationale
- Its Transmission & Distribution segment (~$2.0B of 2025 revenue) directly constructs and modernizes the grid equipment and substation infrastructure that utilities are expanding to meet rising electrification and data-center power demand; the FY2025 10-K cites growing investor-owned utility transmission investment ($178B projected 2025-2028) and data-center-driven electrification as core demand tailwinds. This places it squarely in Grid & Electrification, with medium confidence as a contractor/installer rather than a grid-equipment OEM.

- Role
- Bloom Energy manufactures and deploys on-site solid oxide fuel cell power systems (Energy Servers) that supply around-the-clock baseload electricity contracted for AI data centers and AI infrastructure.
- Inclusion rationale
- Bloom belongs to the broader AI-baseload generation theme as of 2026-06 because its FY2025 10-K confirms it sells dispatchable, grid-independent baseload power into AI/data-center customers, anchored by multi-gigawatt deals such as Oracle's Project Jupiter (up to 2.8 GW). Note a stage-fit caveat: Bloom is a fuel cell generator, not a merchant nuclear or SMR operator, and is widely positioned as the near-term alternative to nuclear/SMR for AI baseload, hence medium confidence in this nuclear-and-SMR stage.

- Inclusion rationale
- Per its FY2025 Form 10-K, Oklo's core business is deploying Aurora powerhouses under a build-own-operate model and selling baseload power to hyperscale data centers, anchored by a ~14 GW pipeline including a 12 GW Master Power Agreement with Switch, a 500 MW Equinix LOI (with $25M prepayment), and a 1.2 GW Meta-backed Ohio campus. It belongs in Nuclear & SMR Generation as a merchant SMR generator contracting capacity for AI baseload, though confidence is medium because the pipeline is largely non-binding and its first reactor (Aurora-INL) is not yet operational as of 2026-06.

SCCOSouthern Copper CorporationPrimaryRS 90
- Role
- Produces copper for electrification and industrial infrastructure.
- Inclusion rationale
- Southern Copper's 2025 Form 10-K is the checked company filing source. SCCO is a primary copper exposure for power grid and data-center construction inputs.

TECKTeck Resources LimitedPrimaryRS 88
- Role
- Teck Resources is a Canadian copper and zinc mining company that produces refined copper, zinc, and other critical industrial metals from its mines and smelters across the Americas.
- Inclusion rationale
- Teck belongs in the Materials stage because it is a primary producer of copper and zinc — base metals essential to chip fabrication, electrical power infrastructure, and data-center construction — and as of Q1 2026 it set record quarterly copper sales (70,300 tonnes from Quebrada Blanca) while explicitly positioning its growth portfolio around critical minerals for the energy transition. Its scale as a copper producer with copper averaging US$5.83/lb in the quarter ties its output directly to the chips, power, and data-center demand defining this stage.

CCJCameco CorporationPrimaryRS 54
- Role
- Cameco mines and mills uranium and provides refining, conversion, and enrichment (via its Global Laser Enrichment interest) and fuel-services capacity that turns natural uranium into the fuel utilities use to generate nuclear power.
- Inclusion rationale
- Cameco is one of the world's largest uranium producers and is invested across the nuclear fuel cycle — mining/milling, refining and conversion, and enrichment through Global Laser Enrichment — supplying the fuel that utilities rely on to generate emissions-free nuclear power, which is the generation source increasingly tapped for AI data-center load as of 2026. This positions it as a primary upstream input to nuclear generation feeding AI power demand.

LEUCentrus Energy Corp.PrimaryRS 29
- Role
- Centrus Energy operates the American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, enriching uranium into low-enriched uranium (LEU) for the existing reactor fleet and high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) for next-generation reactors, occupying the front end of the nuclear fuel cycle.
- Inclusion rationale
- Centrus is a U.S.-owned uranium enrichment supplier and the only company with an NRC-licensed facility producing HALEU; as of 2026-06 it is scaling commercial LEU and HALEU output backed by a January 2026 $900M DOE award and a multi-billion-dollar enrichment backlog, directly supplying the nuclear fuel that powers generation for surging AI/data-center electricity demand.

Research notes
Membership is curated thematic value-chain research, not a verified supplier/customer graph. Companies may participate in more than one stage or have an adjacent role.
Stage status combines median relative strength and 50-day breadth. Market evidence is dated as of the displayed close, is not real-time, and is not an investment recommendation.
