Vertiv stock rallies as data company beats profit expectation and hikes view
Vertiv Holdings LLC's stock (VRT) was up by 10.4% in premarket trading on Wednesday after the digital infrastructure and power-management product maker's third-quarter adjusted earnings of 52 cents a share beat the FactSet consensus estimate of 44 cents a share, although revenue of $1.74 billion narrowly missed the expectation of $1.75 billion. "We are still in the early stages, but the industry is gearing up to deploy the data-center infrastructure needed to meet the compute capacity that AI is demanding," Vertiv Chief Executive Giordano Albertazzi said. For the fourth quarter, Vertiv expects revenue of $1.83 billion to $1.85 billion, ahead of the analyst estimate of $1.82 billion. Vertiv is targeting adjusted fourth-quarter earnings of 48 cents a share to 52 cents a share, ahead of the Wall Street estimate of 47 cents a share.
