Samsung weighs acquisition of data center cooling supplier Modine

Modine shares rose 29% in extended trading after a media report on the discussions, which could still end without an agreement.

Samsung Electronics is discussing a possible acquisition of Modine Manufacturing, a U.S.-listed supplier of data center cooling systems, according to a media report citing people familiar with the matter.

An agreement could be reached within weeks, the report said. However, no final decision has been reached, the negotiations could collapse and a competing bidder could emerge.

Modine's shares gained 29% in extended trading on November 12 following the report. LSEG data put its market value at $5.6 billion that day.

Neither Samsung nor Modine was immediately available to comment.
