In this article:

VRT designs, manufactures, and services power and room cooling solutions for data centers. The company is at the center of scaled computer infrastructure, becoming a bigger player in both AI and cloud computing. The company opened a new manufacturing facility in South Carolina in September.

Vertiv grew its organic orders by 57% in the second quarter. It has also increased its earnings performance expectations, with 46% growth in EPS expected for fiscal 2024 and 28% in fiscal 2025, to reach $3.31 per share. This is after VRT grew its bottom line last year by 230%.

It’s no wonder VRT shares have gained 114% this year – and they could grow more. Based on MAPsignals data, investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.

Institutional volumes reveal plenty. In the last year, VRT has enjoyed heavy Big Money buying, which we believe to be institutional accumulation.

Plenty of industrials names are under accumulation right now. But when you dive into the fundamentals, there’s a special tailwind going on with Vertiv.

Institutional support coupled with a healthy fundamental backdrop makes this company worth investigating. As you can see, VRT has had strong sales and EPS growth:

  • 3-year sales growth rate (+16.3%)
  • 3-year EPS growth rate (+228%)
