Kodiak Gas Services stock jumps on $675 million DPS buy as data-center power demand bites
Kodiak Gas Services shares climbed roughly 4.2% on Friday, closing at $49.29. This came a day after the contract compression firm agreed to purchase Distributed Power Solutions for about $675 million. CEO Mickey McKee described distributed power as “a natural extension” of Kodiak’s large-engine business. DPS President Scott Milligan called the acquisition an “important milestone” for his company.
