VRT Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Vertiv Holdings is supported by a powerful AI-data-center cycle, with 2025 backlog reaching $15.0bn from $7.2bn a year earlier and organic orders up 252%, while deferred revenue doubled to $3.63bn in six months, signaling unusually strong demand visibility and customer commitment. Its broadened portfolio across power, thermal, and services, plus global manufacturing expansion and acquisitions, should keep it winning wallet share as demand shifts toward liquid cooling and converged infrastructure. Although 2022 exposed margin and cash-flow volatility, gross margin has already rebounded to 36.3% in FY25, management is targeting 20%+ organic revenue growth and a 27% adjusted operating margin by 2030, and the service-heavy mix should improve cash conversion over time.
Bears say
Vertiv Holdings is being valued like a secular growth leader despite its inherently cyclical, capital-equipment profile, trading at roughly 27.92x-28x forward EBITDA even after a 2022 near-miss that saw $264mm of free cash flow burn and net debt at 5.7x EBITDA. The bearish thesis hinges on a likely normalization in liquid-cooling demand, with merchant book-to-bill modeled below 1.0x in 2028 as new capacity surges, backlog visibility fades after 4Q25, and pricing power weakens when customer pull-forward reverses. Cash flow quality also looks fragile because much of the reported operating cash flow is funded by deferred revenue, with 1H26 excluding deposits showing negative adjusted free cash flow and inventory days rising to 113.
