Description: BDC Belden November 05, 2025
Belden Inc. (NYSE: BDC) supplies end-to-end connectivity hardware that enables modern data-infrastructure, operating through two primary segments: Smart Infrastructure Solutions, which focuses on copper and fiber cabling, panels, racks, and data-center power-and-cooling products; and Automation Solutions, which delivers network-digitization and data-handling equipment for discrete and process automation, energy, and mass-transit applications.
The Smart Infrastructure segment serves a broad customer base-including commercial real-estate owners, universities, financial institutions, stadiums, military sites, broadband providers, and data-center operators-while the Automation segment sells to distributors, OEMs, installers, and end-users across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached roughly **$2.2 billion**, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of **~12 %**, reflecting stable pricing despite ongoing component shortages. The global data-center market, a core growth engine for Belden, is expanding at an estimated **8 % CAGR** through 2027, driven by edge-computing and 5G rollout-trends that directly boost demand for high-performance cabling and cooling solutions. Additionally, Belden’s automation portfolio benefits from rising capital-expenditure cycles in the energy transition, where utilities are allocating **$150 bn+** globally to grid modernization over the next five years.
