Jim Cramer - Mad Money Vertiv Holdings VRT-N SELL Jan 27, 2025

Is number 1 in data centres. Shares are up 151% this year.

Hasn't been around that long, track record not as extensive as others in the AI infrastructure space.

He'd lean toward ARM. Likes the company, following it. Well positioned to extract value out of the AI wave. Now looking for value within the AI space for companies not as expensive as NVDA.

Is up 137% this year. Current shareholders will sell on today's sell-off to lock in profits, so don't sell after today's sell-off.

Excellent company, however other options like NVIDIA. 5 year business case is very strong. If company is able to hold on to unique position in the market - could be a good buy. Would recommend selling on strength. Outlook for viability of technology is difficult to determine. 

A name you could look at, with the upcoming secondary and tertiary impact of explosive AI buildout of data centres.

He bought it back today on a dip. The quarter was excellent, growing 13-15% in various metrics. Everything is in place for growth. Quarters and reactions to them are fickle.

EPS was 99c, ahead of estimates of 82c; revenue of $2.35B beat estimates of $2.16B. For 2025, forecast is for $9.13B in sales, vs estimates $9.12B. EPS $3.50 to $3.60, vs estimates $3.54. Q1 forecast was mostly in line with estimates. Results are generally good, and the company might be being conservative with its forecast. Investors were looking for more. But good growth is still very much expected, and we would be OK buying a bit into the dip, with the stock at 32X earnings now.

We don't know how much they source from China, so we don't know the impact of tariffs. They can pass on prices to customers. Growth is above the market, but sustainable.

This will probably go down 10-15% after today's tariff news. Many feel it's a broken stock, though is doing well, but that doesn't matter now becayse the market is highly emotional.
