Fresh Analyst Rating on Vertiv

Vertiv Holdings was recently rated “Outperform” by William Blair analysts, citing its pivotal role in meeting surging demand for artificial intelligence-driven data center infrastructure. The expanding adoption of generative AI, cloud software, and high-performance computing is driving a projected annual increase in data center capacity of 13-20 GW through 2030, leading to a potential 100 GW in new capacity.

Vertiv, specializing in high-density, prefabricated power, and cooling systems suited for GPU workloads, is seen as well-positioned to benefit. Roughly 80% of its revenue is derived from the data center industry, and the company boasts strong relationships with leading chipmakers, hyperscalers, and colocation providers.

William Blair estimates that each additional megawatt of deployed data center capacity generates $2.75 million to $3.5 million in Vertiv revenue. The company’s backlog covers at least 78% of expected revenue over the next 12 months, providing strong forward visibility.
