** Shares in Wartsila WRT1V.HE rise 7% after the Finnish industrial group announced a 790-Megawatt data centre order

** The company will supply an off-grid energy power solution for a new data center facility under construction in Texas, USA

** "It s a very big order of 790MW equal to a third of total order intake for the Energy division in 2025," says SB1 Markets Equity Research Analyst Johan Eliason

** This is the company's fifth order for a large data center power plant since June 2025, Eliason adds

** The analyst estimates the deal might be worth around EUR 500 million ($584.55 million), or 6-7% of total group order value last year

** This order should prompt Texas data‑center developers to examine the firm's solutions more closely and become a new strong growth driver - Alphavalue Financial Analyst Louis Billon

** The stock, which extends its YTD gains of 22%, hits EUR 39.4, its highest price ever

($1 = 0.8554 euros)
