Vertiv Holdings (VRT-N) has received a mixed yet generally optimistic outlook from various experts, emphasizing its solid order book and growth potential in the data center infrastructure sector, particularly in thermal cooling solutions. Many experts praise the company's pricing power and cost-cutting measures, despite it recently underperforming against market expectations for organic sales growth. The stock has experienced notable volatility, with recent profit-taking observed. Some analysts, however, express caution regarding its high valuation metrics, with P/E ratios suggesting it may be significantly valued relative to its peers. Looking forward, there's consensus on the continued demand driven by AI and data center expansion, contributing to a robust backlog and long-term growth prospects.

We do not think a long term investment decision should be dictated by a single quarter. We are comfortable with its outlook and would consider $60 an attractive price.

BUY

Great chairman. If it had been in the S&P, this would have been the best performer of that index. 

BUY

They make the best products under a good, new CEO and were able to raise prices.

DON'T BUY

They've missed several quarters. The new CEO is doing a better job, but he must raise prices to keep up with production costs.

BUY
Activist Starboard Value recently bought some cloud computing companies including this. They supply data centres. Shares have been crushed with cloud computing stocks. He's followed this for a long time. They've been wrecked by supply chain problems, yet didn't raise their prices. The stock has been a disaster. However, the supply chain is getting better, and the stock will bounce back because of the CEO.
DON'T BUY
It went public via SPAC two years ago. Unlike most SPACs, VRT was profitable. However, today it reported very disappointing numbers and forecast. Shares fell 37% today. Execution, demand and the end market weren't the causes. Rather, raw costs spun out of control due to supply chain issues, and therefore couldn't sell enough product. It's an example of out-of-control inflation now.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
SPACs to buy They sell hardware and software to data centres, communication networks and industrial facilities to keep their businesses running. They reported a strong quarter today, but this seldom dips.
