Emerson outlines a near-term power-demand mix dominated by brownfield fleet modernizations, but signals a clear shift toward greenfield as new North American gas-fired capacity and data-center projects come online. The Test & Measurement business shows strength with double-digit growth, underpinning a constructive path through 2027, driven by software and DGM momentum and a funnel tilted toward greenfield opportunities.

Is the power demand largely from brownfield fleet modernization or greenfield capacity additions, and what is the visibility in Test & Measurement and outlook for 2027?
Management explicitly characterized power demand “to date” as mostly fleet modernizations / brownfield: “Power to date… has been mostly fleet modernizations” and “momentum has been on fleet modernizations or brownfield.” 1
At the same time, they indicated a progressive shift toward more greenfield as new capacity begins operating:
In a separate framing question about the funnel mix, Emerson stated that most of the project funnel is greenfield:
Emerson reported:
When asked about what to think about “as we do start to think about ’27,” management refused to give explicit guidance:
However, they provided visibility through 2027 by characterizing the cycle position of applications they serve:
They also explicitly linked the broader Test & Measurement outlook to medium-term confidence:

Emerson’s Q3 2026 discussion highlights that price-cost dynamics remain a key driver of performance, with annual price running around 2.5% and potentially reaching 3%. Tariff refunds of $82 million boosted GAAP margins and free cash flow, while the tariff landscape remains dynamic as Q4 approaches. The company notes volume leverage and cost reductions in Intelligent Devices as a further earnings driver, supporting a stable margin outlook amid inflationary pressure.

NVIDIA described supply constraints as broad-based, with suppliers operating at full capacity while customer demand significantly exceeds available supply. Management said the gap may persist through fiscal 2028 and highlighted pressure across memory, chips, power, and data-center infrastructure. Capacity additions and upstream infrastructure investments will take time, even as the company works with suppliers to increase supply.

Agentic AI may drive substantially more persistent and compute-intensive inference, while NVIDIA aims to capture greater infrastructure value through full-stack systems, successive generations, Groq 3 LPX, and ACIE expansion. Management cites rising revenue opportunity per gigawatt and strong ACIE growth, but the discussion offers no quantified forecast for NVIDIA’s inference-market share, leaving competitive outcomes uncertain.

AutoZone outlines a modest, non-structural improvement in elasticity for FY2027, driven by lapping tariff shocks and a normalization of transaction patterns. Ticket growth remains elevated but decelerates toward historical trends, while a large share of demand comes from maintenance and failure-related categories that cushion price sensitivity. The company cautions that the improvement hinges on inflation decelerating rather than broad shifts in consumer behavior.
Sources used
Research questionOkay, great. My follow-up is around inflation and the elasticity that we're thinking about here. When you look at the incremental inflation, where it's coming from now and what you're thinking about for 2027, is there any reason to believe that the elasticity is going to be different, maybe more favorable than what you saw last year based on the categories that it's targeting?

Lennar outlines a conditional path for labor-cost savings in Q3 2026, indicating ongoing reductions are possible unless labor markets tighten. The company notes region-specific pressures from immigration enforcement, data-center activity, and certain trades, while leveraging scale and supplier relationships to absorb costs and reallocate crews, implying stronger relative performance versus peers even as absolute savings may moderate.

Broadcom outlines a 2027–2028 gigawatt roadmap totaling about 30 GW, with AI semiconductor revenue of roughly $115B in 2027 and $230B in 2028. The implied revenue per roadmap GW is about $11.5B, while deployed content per GW remains in the $20–$30B range, signaling growth from higher gigawatt volumes as XPUs evolve.

Medtronic asserts that Affera utilization is strongest at high-volume centers, with 75% of the U.S. installed base and ongoing expansion through additional systems and broader penetration into lower-volume sites. Management ties utilization to quarterly pull-through and notes the installed-base ramp is in early innings, supported by clinical evidence, reimbursement, and ecosystem initiatives to unlock a larger market opportunity.
