Worthington Enterprises Announces Business Restructuring Amid Rising Data Center Demand
Worthington Enterprises (NYSE: WOR) announced plans to reorganize its business segments, focusing on high-demand construction and data center-related products. The company will introduce a new segment called Building Performance Solutions, which includes water tanks for liquid cooling in data centers — an area experiencing strong growth due to increased tech investment. This restructuring follows the spin-off of Worthington Steel three years ago. Investors responded positively, with WOR stock rising over 10% on September 16, 2026. The company will provide more details at its Investor and Analyst Day event scheduled for November 10. Management emphasized that domestic manufacturing capabilities are supporting double-digit sales growth driven by demand from contractors and diverse distribution channels. The move positions Worthington as a potential beneficiary of the ongoing data center expansion, with products now better aligned to capitalize on this trend.
