Vertiv Introduces First Converged Physical Infrastructure Digital Twin for NVIDIA Omniverse DSXJune 1, 2026 12:16 PM
PR Newswire (US) Model-based digital twin capability of Vertiv™ SmartRun helps accelerate AI factory design, simulation, and deployment workflowsCOLUMBUS, Ohio, June 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today announced progress on a production-grade digital twin capability for Vertiv™ SmartRun integrated in the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, advancing the company's roadmap to make AI factory infrastructure more configurable, repeatable, and simulation-ready. As AI deployments scale to higher densities and larger capacities, data centers need a faster, more reliable way to turn each generation of computing into real-world infrastructure. Traditional, document-based processes and siloed handoffs across power, cooling, controls, and deployment teams can't keep pace. Vertiv SmartRun digital twin shifts planning to a model-based approach, allowing infrastructure to be designed, simulated, and validated as a single system before build-out. By capturing system configurations and dependencies in a virtual environment, it helps reduce late-stage design changes and integration risk, improve confidence through simulation, and accelerate time from planning to operational readiness—while improving coordination across teams."AI infrastructure can no longer be planned one compute generation at a time," said Scott Armul, chief product and technology officer at Vertiv. "To deliver more tokens per second per megawatt, customers need power, cooling, controls, and deployment workflows to be designed as one interdependent system. The Vertiv SmartRun digital twin helps encode Vertiv's infrastructure expertise into configurable, simulation-ready building blocks that support faster, more confident AI factory planning. As we extend this approach to Vertiv™ OneCore Rubin DSX, Vertiv is helping customers translate future compute requirements into deployable physical infrastructure before those requirements reach full deployment scale."The Vertiv SmartRun digital twin is the first phase in Vertiv's multi-phase AI factory digital twin roadmap. Digital twins are designed to help close the gap between accelerated compute innovation and physical infrastructure readiness, preserving engineering intent from early configuration and simulation through deployment, commissioning, lifecycle assurance, and future optimization."AI factories require full-stack co-design across compute and physical infrastructure," said Vladimir Troy, vice president of AI Infrastructure at NVIDIA. "NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint helps the ecosystem build, simulate, and optimize gigawatt-scale AI factory digital twins using OpenUSD, SimReady assets, and power, thermal, and operational simulations. Bringing Vertiv SmartRun into this workflow can help customers evaluate infrastructure choices earlier and prepare for multiple generations of accelerated computing."At Computex Taipei 2026, Vertiv will demonstrate Vertiv™ SmartRun as both a physical infrastructure system and a configurable digital twin, allowing attendees to explore configuration scenarios and see how model-based design choices can support downstream infrastructure planning, coordination, and simulation workflows. Created using Dassault Systèmes model-based systems engineering capabilities on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and connected to NVIDIA Omniverse DSX workflows, the demonstrator establishes a shared digital foundation for configuration, simulation, validation, and future optimization across the AI factory infrastructure lifecycle."Digital twins allow complex infrastructure systems to be represented with the intelligence of their configuration rules, dependencies, and engineering intent," said Stéphane Sireau, vice president of high tech industry at Dassault Systèmes. "At Computex, Vertiv, Dassault and NVIDIA demonstrate how Vertiv's AI factory infrastructure is moving from document-based design workflows toward an industrialized, model-based systems engineering approach optimized for speed, quality, and system-level performance."See the video "Simulation-ready converged physical infrastructure for AI at scale" to learn more about leveraging digital twin for Vertiv's solutions for AI infrastructure, or visit Vertiv.com.About Vertiv

$9.8 Billion AI Data Center Lease Expands Hut 8’s (HUT) Contracted Capacity PipelineMay 6, 2026 10:43 AM
IH Market News Hut 8 signed a 15-year lease tied to a 352 MW AI data center deployment at its Beacon Point campus, significantly expanding the company’s contracted AI infrastructure backlog and long-term revenue visibility. Key Investor Takeaways Hut 8 (NASDAQ:HUT) announced a 15-year AI data center lease valued at $9.8 billion for the first phase of its Beacon Point campus in Texas. The agreement covers 352 MW of IT capacity and increases Hut 8’s total contracted AI data center capacity to 597 MW. The company expects average annual NOI contribution of approximately $655 million once the project is stabilized. The campus is designed around NVIDIA’s DSX AI infrastructure architecture and supports future expansion up to 1,000 MW of utility capacity. Investors may focus on execution risk, financing structure, and Hut 8’s ability to commercialize additional capacity across its development pipeline. Why HUT Stock Is in Focus Hut 8 (NASDAQ:HUT) announced commercialization of the first phase of its Beacon Point AI data center campus in Nueces County, Texas through a 15-year lease agreement tied to 352 MW of IT capacity.The lease carries a base-term contract value of $9.8 billion and involves a confidential high-investment-grade tenant deploying compute infrastructure for AI training and inference workloads.Hut 8 said the facility will be designed according to NVIDIA’s DSX reference architecture for large-scale AI infrastructure deployments.The company expects cumulative net operating income contribution of approximately $9.8 billion during the base lease term, with projected average annual NOI contribution of roughly $655 million after stabilization.The agreement also includes three optional five-year renewal periods that could increase the total potential contract value to approximately $25.1 billion if fully exercised.Initial delivery of the first data hall is expected during the third quarter of 2027, while initial site energization is projected for the first quarter of 2027.The Beacon Point transaction expands Hut 8’s total contracted AI data center capacity to 597 MW, with aggregate base-term contract value now reaching approximately $16.8 billion.The company stated that the project was originally underwritten for a different commercialization pathway tied to American Bitcoin Corp. before being repositioned toward AI infrastructure as demand evolved.“Beacon Point underscores why we start with power and maintain flexibility across end markets,” said CEO Asher Genoot.“Operating across multiple applications lets us underwrite assets that single-use-case developers cannot, then redirect them toward higher-value commercialization pathways as demand evolves.”The company also highlighted partnerships with American Electric Power (NASDAQ:AEP), Vertiv (NYSE:VRT), and Jacobs (NYSE:J) as part of the project’s execution framework. Why This Matters for Investors The announcement significantly expands Hut 8’s long-term contracted AI infrastructure revenue base and reinforces its strategic shift toward large-scale AI data center development.The size and duration of the lease may strengthen investor confidence in the company’s ability to secure hyperscale customers and monetize energy infrastructure assets beyond cryptocurrency-related operations.The transaction also highlights the growing importance of power availability and utility-scale infrastructure in the AI data center market, particularly as demand rises for high-density compute deployments tied to AI training workloads.At the same time, investors may continue evaluating project execution risks, financing requirements, construction timelines, and the company’s ability to deliver large-scale infrastructure on schedule.The use of project-level financing and the campus’s remaining undeveloped capacity could also become important factors in future growth and capital allocation discussions. What To Watch Next Investors may monitor: Construction and energization milestones at Beacon Point Additional commercialization of remaining campus capacity Financing details tied to project-level development Expansion of Hut 8’s AI infrastructure customer base Progress across the company’s broader 8,375 MW development pipeline Future updates tied to NVIDIA-based AI infrastructure deployments Hut 8 stock price Original: $9.8 Billion AI Data Center Lease Expands Hut 8’s (HUT) Contracted Capacity Pipeline

(Nasdaq, TSX: HUT) ("Hut 8" or the "Company"), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive technologies, today announced the commercialization of the first phase of its Beacon Point data center campus in Nueces County, Texas through a 15-year, $9.8 billion lease (the "Agreement") for 352 megawatts (MW) of IT capacity (the "Transaction"). The tenant, a high-investment-grade company, will deploy dedicated compute infrastructure at the campus to support AI training and inference workloads at hyperscale. Beacon Point is the second AI data center campus commercialized under the Company's power-first, greenfield development model following River Bend. Hut 8 has executed an interconnection agreement for 1,000 MW of utility capacity, with initial energization expected in Q1 2027. As with River Bend, Hut 8 identified and secured the site through its power-first approach and subsequently commercialized it through a hyperscale AI lease. The Beacon Point transaction brings Hut 8's total contracted AI data center capacity to 597 MW of IT capacity with aggregate base-term contract value of approximately $16.8 billion and aggregate average annual NOI to approximately $1.1 billion.Transaction HighlightsLease Structure: Triple net (NNN) lease.Tenant Profile: Confidential, high-investment-grade company.Compute Architecture: Hut 8 to deliver a 352 MW AI factory designed to NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture for gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure.Base-Term Contract Value: Total contract value of $9.8 billion over a 15-year base lease term, inclusive of a 3.0% annual base rent escalator.NOI Contribution: Expected cumulative NOI contribution of $9.8 billion over the base lease term, translating to an expected average annual NOI contribution of $655 million upon stabilization.Upside Economics: Three 5-year renewal options increase potential contract value to approximately $25.1 billion assuming all three options are exercised.Delivery Timeline: Initial data hall delivery expected in Q3 2027.Project-level Financing: Hut 8 intends to support the development of Beacon Point with project-level financing that aims to optimize cost of capital at the asset level while maintaining disciplined long-term leverage metrics at the corporate level.Campus Scalability: 1,000 MW of utility capacity with initial energization expected in Q1 2027.Commercial Potential: The lease for 352 MW of IT capacity, requiring approximately 500 MW of utility capacity, represents the first phase of commercialization at a campus designed to support up to 1,000 MW of utility capacity, providing significant runway for potential campus expansion and revenue growth.Power-First Underwriting and the First Phase of Value CreationBeacon Point exemplifies Hut 8's power-first development model and the value creation it enables across the asset lifecycle. Originally underwritten on a speed-to-power thesis to serve Hut 8's affiliated customer, American Bitcoin Corp. ("ABTC"), the site was repositioned to AI infrastructure as power demand accelerated and customer requirements broadened. Hut 8 transitioned Beacon Point from its original commercialization pathway with ABTC to deliver an AI data center campus with contracted, investment-grade cash flows, marking the first phase of asset-level value creation at the campus.Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "Beacon Point underscores why we start with power and maintain flexibility across end markets. Operating across multiple applications lets us underwrite assets that single-use-case developers cannot, then redirect them toward higher-value commercialization pathways as demand evolves. This flexibility is intentional, and it is embedded in how we underwrite, develop, and commercialize infrastructure."First-Principles Engineering and the Second Phase of Value CreationBeacon Point also exemplifies Hut 8's first-principles engineering approach and the value creation it enables as technology applications evolve. Following the repositioning of the campus to AI, the first data hall was scoped for 224 MW of IT capacity, sized to the chip architectures commercially deployed at the time. As NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture advanced toward commercial deployment with materially higher rack-level power densities, Hut 8 redesigned the data hall to support a 352 MW AI factory, a 57% increase over the initial design, within the same land and utility footprint.Scalable, Partnership-Driven Execution ModelHut 8 is developing Beacon Point through a partnership-driven execution model first implemented at its River Bend campus. The model is structured to mitigate risk across the project lifecycle by aligning Tier 1 partners to defined roles across technology, engineering and construction, and critical systems delivery.Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8, said: "This transaction commercializes the first building of our newest gigawatt-scale campus and marks our second AI data center lease. More importantly, it demonstrates that our development model, which pairs power-first underwriting with disciplined commercialization and institutional execution, is repeatable and extendable across our broader pipeline."NVIDIA is engaged as technology partner, with Phase 1 of the campus engineered to NVIDIA's DSX reference architecture for gigawatt-scale AI factories. Jacobs, a global scienced-based consulting and advisory firm, is retained as EPCM (Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management) lead, working alongside Vertiv in its role supporting critical digital infrastructure systems.Bob Pragada, Chair and CEO of Jacobs, said: "Beacon Point underscores the strength of our partnership with Hut 8 and the discipline required to deliver AI infrastructure with speed, safety, and certainty. Building on our work together at River Bend, we are applying our EPCM leadership and advanced digital twin technology to set the benchmark for AI infrastructure deployment, optimization, and resiliency."Giordano Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv, said: "Next generation AI infrastructure will be defined by how quickly power can be converted into AI capacity. Partnering with Hut 8 aligns with Vertiv's systems-level approach to converged physical infrastructure —  bringing power, cooling, and deployment execution at scale. At Beacon Point, we are applying Vertiv's global manufacturing depth, supply chain discipline, engineering expertise, and critical digital infrastructure portfolio to help deliver AI capacity with speed, reliability, and long-term performance."Utility and Regional PartnershipsHut 8 is developing the Beacon Point campus in collaboration with key Texas stakeholders, including AEP Texas, a subsidiary of American Electric Power (AEP), and the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation (CCREDC). Hut 8 and AEP Texas have executed an interconnection agreement for 1,000 MW of utility capacity for the campus, with initial energization expected in Q1 2027.Hut 8 brings a long operating history in Texas and extensive experience working within ERCOT across large-load applications. This experience has enabled the Company to advance complex infrastructure projects by navigating market dynamics, interconnection processes, and transmission and system upgrade requirements while maintaining disciplined development and execution timelines.Aaron Bowman, CEO of CCREDC, said: "Beacon Point reflects the type of long-term investment that supports durable growth in the Coastal Bend economy. Hut 8's focus on power infrastructure and disciplined execution aligns with the region's assets and workforce capabilities, and we are pleased to support the advancement of this campus in Nueces County."Development Pipeline UpdateThe Transaction advances 500 MW of utility capacity from Energy Capacity Under Development to Energy Capacity Under Construction. An additional 500 MW of utility capacity from Beacon Point remains within Energy Capacity Under Development.  Hut 8 continues to advance opportunities across a broader pipeline spanning 7,545 MW of Energy Capacity Under Diligence, Exclusivity, and Development, applying the same power-first underwriting framework and institutional execution model demonstrated at River Bend and Beacon Point.StageDescriptionUtility Capacity

Note: (1) Excludes 1,000 MW of potential IT expansion capacity at River Bend, for which Fluidstack holds a ROFO under the River Bend lease.Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThis press release includes a non-GAAP financial measure, expected net operating income (NOI) contribution, which the Company defines as expected lease revenue for a particular lease less any non-reimbursable operating expenses attributable to the leased property. The Company's management team uses expected NOI contribution to measure the expected operating performance of a particular lease. Operating income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to expected NOI contribution. In evaluating expected NOI contribution, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur non-reimbursable lease operating expenses that are not currently known. The Company's presentation of expected NOI contribution should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Expected NOI contribution has important limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider expected NOI contribution in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. For example, expected NOI contribution excludes the impact of selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, which have real economic effect and could materially impact the Company's consolidated financial results. Other companies, including Real Estate Investment Trusts, may calculate expected NOI contribution differently than the Company does and, accordingly, the Company's expected NOI contribution may not be comparable to similar measures published by such companies. No reconciliation of expected NOI contribution is included in this press release because the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in operating income without unreasonable efforts as such quantification would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.Additional Transaction Information and Upcoming CommunicationsHut 8 has made available on its website an investor presentation with further details regarding the Transaction.For important news and information regarding the Company, including investor presentations and timing of future investor conferences, visit the Investor Relations section of the Company's website, hut8.com/investors, and its social media accounts, including on X and LinkedIn.

Vertiv Strengthens Liquid-Cooling System Capability with Acquisition of Strategic Thermal LabsApril 27, 2026 6:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

Acquisition enhances engineering expertise for cold-plate design, server-side liquid cooling and high-density thermal validation to improve system-level performance, reliability, and lifecycle outcomesCOLUMBUS, Ohio, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today announced it has acquired Strategic Thermal Labs LLC (STL), a specialist in advanced liquid-cooling technologies. The acquisition extends Vertiv's thermal-chain strategy by strengthening engineering capability at the interface between server-side liquid cooling and supporting infrastructure—an increasingly critical factor in high-density, liquid-cooled environments supporting AI and high-performance computing workloads.







As compute requirements continue to intensify, the interaction between server-side liquid cooling and supporting infrastructure increasingly influences broader system performance, including flow, balance, controls behavior, serviceability, and lifecycle reliability. Strategic Thermal Labs adds proven cold-plate design, server-side liquid cooling, and high-density thermal validation expertise that is expected to strengthen Vertiv's ability to simulate and emulate real high-density compute conditions, optimize the interaction between the thermal chain and power train, and support customers across design, integration, commissioning, and lifecycle operations."As AI and high-performance computing push power densities to unprecedented levels, understanding and solving heat challenges at the chip level becomes critical to system design, performance and reliability," said Scott Armul, chief product and technology officer at Vertiv. "STL brings deep expertise and proven capability in addressing some of the industry's most demanding chip-level density and thermal problems, strengthening Vertiv's ability to emulate and validate system-level solutions and enabling customers to improve performance and lifecycle outcomes in liquid-cooled environments."Vertiv emphasized that the acquisition does not change its commitment to an open ecosystem approach. The company will continue to support interoperable, server- and silicon-agnostic infrastructure solutions, with the goal of improving system-level performance and customer outcomes across diverse compute environments.The addition of Strategic Thermal Labs supports Vertiv's broader strategy of helping customers address increasing infrastructure complexity through integrated power, thermal, controls, and lifecycle services capabilities.For more information about Vertiv's end-to-end portfolio of power and thermal management systems, infrastructures solutions, and lifecycle services, visit Vertiv.com.About Vertiv

Adjusted operating margin of 20.8%, up 430 basis points compared to first quarter 2025Operating cash flow of $767 million and adjusted free cash flow of $653 million, an increase of 153% and 147%, respectively, compared to prior year first quarter. Net leverage of ~0.2x at the end of first quarter 2026Full Year 2026 GuidanceExpect net sales of $13,500 to $14,000 million, with organic sales growth of 29% to 31% compared to 2025Expect full year 2026 diluted EPS of $5.60 to $5.70 and adjusted diluted EPS of $6.30 to $6.40, an increase of 66% and 51%, respectively, at the midpoint compared to full year 2025COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026. Vertiv reported first quarter net sales of $2,650 million, an increase of $614 million, or 30%, compared to first quarter 2025, driven by 23% organic sales growth, 4% contribution from acquisitions, and 3% favorable currency translation impact. The Americas region led the organic sales growth, expanding 44% on strong data center demand.







First quarter operating profit of $440 million increased $149 million and adjusted operating profit of $551 million increased $214 million, up 51% and 64%, respectively, from first quarter 2025. Adjusted operating margin was 20.8%, up 430 basis points compared to first quarter 2025, driven by operational leverage on higher volume and positive price-cost, inclusive of tariff impacts and associated tariff mitigation countermeasures."We're seeing data center infrastructure requirements evolve significantly, with customers prioritizing optimized design, deployment speed, and operational efficiency - reshaping their approach to deployment," said Giordano Albertazzi, Vertiv's Chief Executive Officer. "This quarter's financial performance reflects our ability to meet customers at this critical moment with unique capabilities. Our investments in technology and capacity, combined with strategic acquisitions, are translating into market share gains as customers demand faster deployment, greater reliability, and comprehensive services. As infrastructure density increases and deployment timelines compress, we're positioned to be the partner customers need to bring their most ambitious projects to life, at scale.""This quarter demonstrates that Vertiv has built the kind of competitive position that compounds over time," said Dave Cote, Vertiv's Executive Chairman. "When customers face their toughest infrastructure challenges, they're choosing us - not only because of our technology, but because we can deliver at scale. Our addition to the S&P 500 in March reflects strong financial performance and market leadership in critical digital infrastructure. The strategic momentum gives me confidence in our long-term trajectory."Adjusted Free Cash Flow and LiquidityNet cash generated by operating activities in the first quarter was $767 million and adjusted free cash flow was $653 million, increasing 153% and 147%, respectively, from first quarter 2025. First quarter adjusted free cash flow was driven by higher adjusted operating profit, working capital efficiency and lower cash interest, partially offset by higher cash taxes and increased capital expenditures to support growth investments.Liquidity remained strong at $5.0 billion and net leverage was approximately 0.2x at the end of first quarter, driven by continued strong cash generation and working capital efficiency.After receiving inaugural investment grade ratings from Moody's (Baa3) and S&P (BBB-) in February 2026, Vertiv completed a $2.1 billion senior unsecured notes issuance and put in place a new $2.5 billion revolving credit facility while also retiring its outstanding term loan and ABL revolver in March, enhancing financial flexibility to support continued growth.Updated Full Year and Second Quarter 2026 GuidanceThe data center market continues to demonstrate robust momentum, supported by strong underlying demand fundamentals.  Vertiv is further accelerating capacity expansion and strategic investments to be well positioned to meet this demand and capture market share.

Vertiv has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this news release, as indicated above, that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Vertiv has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to second quarter and full-year 2026 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For those reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release for Vertiv's reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release, and other statements that Vertiv may make in connection therewith, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to Vertiv's future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations, and as such are not historical facts.

$                 (4.8)Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement this news release, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the format of performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.Vertiv's non-GAAP financial measures include:Adjusted operating profit (loss), which represents operating profit (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, and contingent consideration;Adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating profit (loss) divided by net sales;Organic net sales growth, which represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate and acquisitions;Adjusted free cash flow, which represents net cash provided by (used for) operating activities adjusted to exclude capital expenditures and investments in capitalized software; andAdjusted diluted EPS, which represents diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, contingent consideration, and the costs related to the March 3, 2026 repayment of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the associated interest rate swaps being settled.Regional Segment Results

Vertiv to Expand Ohio Manufacturing to Boost U.S. Production of Critical Thermal Management Technologies for AI Data CentersMarch 30, 2026 4:00 PM
PR Newswire (US)

Ironton, Ohio facility expansion strengthens supply chain and increases Vertiv's liquid cooling and chilled water system capacity for high-density computingCOLUMBUS, Ohio, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today announced an investment of ~$50 million to expand its manufacturing presence in Ironton, Ohio, and its headquarters campus in Westerville, Ohio. The projects are expected to create hundreds of new jobs through 2029 and strengthen Vertiv's ability to support growing customer demand for AI, high-density computing, and other critical digital infrastructure applications.







The Ironton expansion, which is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2027, is planned to increase production capacity for Vertiv liquid cooling and chilled water systems used in advanced thermal management applications. With the expansion, total capacity at the facility is expected to increase by ~45% for these systems, helping Vertiv expand regional production, improve responsiveness to customer demand, and shorten supply chains.As AI adoption accelerates and compute densities continue to rise, customers are requiring more advanced thermal management solutions to support next-generation GPU clusters, large-scale model training, and other high-performance workloads. Vertiv's investment is designed to expand the manufacturing, engineering, sales, services, and logistics capabilities needed to help customers deploy and scale this infrastructure more efficiently."Ohio operations remain integral to Vertiv's strategy," said Giordano (Gio) Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv. "This investment expands our manufacturing capacity and strengthens the engineering, sales, service, and logistics capabilities that support customers building the next generation of digital infrastructure.

Vertiv Brings Converged Physical Infrastructure to NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI FactoriesMarch 16, 2026 4:33 PM
PR Newswire (US)

Simulation-ready power and cooling infrastructure models, designed to accelerate deployment and reduce execution riskCOLUMBUS, Ohio, March 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today announced its role in advancing converged physical infrastructure designs for the NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI factory reference design and the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint.







As AI factories scale in density, complexity, and power demand, operators are under pressure to compress time to deployment, improve infrastructure utilization, and reduce integration risk. A new infrastructure design approach that reduces complexity, improves confidence before buildout, and accelerates time to capacity is now available to meet these evolving needs. Through its work with NVIDIA, Vertiv is contributing simulation-ready, or DSX SimReady digital power and cooling assets, validated interfaces, and repeatable infrastructure building blocks designed to help customers deploy AI factories faster and with greater operational assurance.This work reflects an expansion of Vertiv's established approach to converged physical infrastructure—a system-level model that integrates power, cooling, controls, and services into interdependent designs optimized across the full power train and thermal chain. This approach is enabled through five foundational elements: repeatable building blocks, defined interfaces, system orchestration, digital continuity, and lifecycle support. Together, these elements support more scalable AI factory execution by helping reduce design complexity, strengthen coordination across infrastructure domains, and improve confidence from initial design through deployment and operation.At the core of this approach is a scalable building block architecture designed around the standardized 12.5MW infrastructure blocks of Vertiv™ OneCore integrated modular solutions that can be combined, configured, and extended to support deployments ranging from smaller AI clusters to gigawatt-scale AI factories. By establishing repeatable block-level designs with validated interfaces, Vertiv aims to simplify scaling while improving deployment consistency, system coordination, and operational performance."AI factories are forcing a fundamental change in how digital infrastructure is designed, validated, and deployed," said Scott Armul, chief product and technology officer at Vertiv. "Vertiv's role is to help turn complex AI infrastructure from a collection of separate products into converged, simulation-ready physical systems. Working with NVIDIA, we are helping customers move faster from design to deployment. By combining our power and cooling portfolio with validated interfaces and digital models, we can help customers accelerate development, improve operational confidence, and unlock better output per watt."Vertiv's collaboration supports the development of digitally validated AI factory infrastructure using real-time simulation and system-level modeling before physical deployment begins. This approach is designed to help customers:reduce deployment complexity and field integration risk,accelerate time to operational readiness,improve infrastructure coordination across power, cooling, and controls,and optimize performance from grid connection through chip-level thermal management and heat-reuse pathways.Vertiv's contribution is grounded in its ability to bring together one of the industry's most complete portfolios of critical power, thermal management, integrated controls, and lifecycle services into a cohesive converged physical infrastructure. Unlike conventional modular or prefabricated approaches that primarily compress schedule, converged physical infrastructure is intended to deliver both deployment speed and compounding system-level gains. By standardizing interfaces and creating repeatable building blocks, Vertiv aims to support more scalable AI factory execution while enabling improved performance, efficiency, and reliability."As AI factories scale to unprecedented levels of power and density, enterprises require a converged approach to physical infrastructure that unifies power, cooling, and digital twin simulation to reduce deployment risk," said Vladimir Troy, vice president of AI Infrastructure at NVIDIA. "By integrating simulation-ready infrastructure models into the NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX design, Vertiv is providing the repeatable building blocks and validated interfaces necessary to accelerate the path from design to operational readiness."This collaborative output, Vertiv™ OneCore Rubin DSX, is a design outcome grounded in converged physical infrastructure that Vertiv will continue to iterate for multiple compute generations ahead. It is intended to support AI factory builders with parameterized infrastructure models and deployment-ready building blocks that span power, cooling, controls, and lifecycle services.Vertiv expects this work to inform future converged infrastructure offerings across hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and emerging AI deployment environments.For more information on Vertiv solutions for AI infrastructure, visit Vertiv.com.About Vertiv

Adjusted operating margin was 23.2%, up 170 basis points compared to fourth quarter 2024, driven by operational leverage on higher volume, productivity and favorable price-cost, partially offset by tariff impact."Our fourth quarter performance demonstrates Vertiv's leadership position in an increasingly complex and demanding data center market," said Giordano Albertazzi, Vertiv's Chief Executive Officer. "Significant growth in orders, sales, margins and cash reflects our ability to scale while maintaining a sharp focus on operational execution. What differentiates Vertiv is our ability to anticipate and shape the industry direction. Deep collaborations with semiconductor industry leaders, combined with our decades-long industry expertise and technology-rich portfolio, enable us to optimize customer outcomes by anticipating needs before they become apparent. We architect systems that deliver superior outcomes today and position our customers well to meet tomorrow's challenges. As we look to 2026, we expect this momentum to continue. Our record backlog provides clear visibility into what we expect to be another year of significant growth.""Today's results reflect years of strategic focus on technology leadership and value creation," said Dave Cote, Vertiv's Executive Chairman. "Our commitment to developing technology that transforms the industry has positioned us as the partner customers turn to for solving their most complex challenges. This technology leadership isn't just about winning today, it's about driving sustainable, long-term growth by continuously redefining what's possible for our customers and the industry."Adjusted Free Cash Flow and LiquidityNet cash generated by operating activities in the fourth quarter was $1,005 million and adjusted free cash flow was $910 million, an increase of $580 million and $548 million, respectively, from fourth quarter 2024. Fourth quarter adjusted free cash flow performance was driven by higher adjusted operating profit, working capital efficiency, including project-related advanced payments and lower cash interest, partially offset by higher cash taxes and increased capital expenditures to support growth.The company's strong cash generation enabled Vertiv to deploy approximately $1 billion for strategic growth acquisitions during the quarter while maintaining low leverage and a strong balance sheet. Liquidity remained strong at $2.6 billion and net leverage was approximately 0.5x at the end of fourth quarter, reflecting continued strong operational performance and cash generation. Vertiv continues its commitment to obtaining and maintaining investment grade credit ratings.Updated Full Year and First Quarter 2026 GuidanceThe data center market continues to show robust momentum, with strong pipeline growth despite significant pipeline conversion to orders in the fourth quarter. To capitalize on these opportunities, Vertiv is strategically increasing ER&D investments and expanding production capacity.

For more information, and for the latest news and content from Vertiv, visit vertiv.com.Category: Financial NewsNon-GAAP Financial MeasuresFinancial information included in this release has been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Vertiv has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this news release, as indicated above, that may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and therefore may not be comparable among companies. These non-GAAP financial measures include organic net sales growth (including on a segment basis), adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted free cash flow, which management believes provides investors with useful supplemental information to evaluate the Company's ongoing operations and to compare with past and future periods. Management also uses certain non-GAAP measures internally for forecasting, budgeting and measuring its operating performance. These measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Vertiv has provided reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to first quarter and full-year 2026 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted operating margin, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For those reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.See "Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release for Vertiv's reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking StatementsThis news release, and other statements that Vertiv may make in connection therewith, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to Vertiv's future financial or business performance, strategies or expectations, and as such are not historical facts.

These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. Vertiv cautions that forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time.

$                      114.1 Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial MeasuresTo supplement this news release, we have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in the format of performance metrics. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with additional meaningful financial information that should be considered when assessing our underlying business performance and trends. Further, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures also enhance investors' ability to compare period-to-period financial results. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP information are also included. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, compensation and planning decisions and in evaluating the company's performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures allows investors and management to view our operating results excluding the impact of items that are not reflective of the underlying operating performance.Vertiv's non-GAAP financial measures include:Adjusted operating profit (loss), which represents operating profit (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, restructuring costs associated with the global restructuring programs, contingent consideration, and merger and acquisition costs;Adjusted operating margin, which represents adjusted operating profit (loss) divided by net sales;Organic net sales growth, which represents the change in net sales adjusted to exclude the impacts of foreign currency exchange rate and acquisitions;Adjusted free cash flow, which represents net cash provided by (used for) operating activities adjusted to exclude capital expenditures and investments in capitalized software; andAdjusted diluted EPS, which represents diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles, restructuring costs associated with global restructuring programs, contingent consideration, merger and acquisition costs, net non-recurring tax adjustments, term loan due 2032 amendment expense and change in warranty liability.Regional Segment Results

392.0(1)Information reconciling certain forward-looking GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures related to FY 2026 guidance, including organic net sales growth, adjusted operating margin and adjusted free cash flow, is not available without unreasonable effort due to high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliations. For the same reasons, we are unable to compute the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.(2)Diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS based on 392.0 million shares (includes 383.0 million basic shares and a weighted average 9.0 million potential dilutive equity awards).

Vertiv Announces Global Launch of Liquid Cooling Services Portfolio to Support Systems for AI and High-Density Compute Applications

Large insider open market sell ....but Weiss on CNBC is still a believer and buying this pullback
Kiwi

Why do I look forward to positive earnings, if they are just going to hack the price.....I hope this turns after open.

Yeah this is one of my green stocks....Can't wait until it takes offfffff!

So much happening behind scenes in AI

Vertiv (VRT) CEO On Investor Conference & Guidance Update



Nice run and new high.

Data-center fiber-optic demand growing alongside data-center cooling..symbiotically imo

Nice movement but getting a little long in the tooth for right now

I open a position here
pretty chart and great company

I guess EVERCORE raising the price guidance was a BAD thing!!!!

While I'm not a huge fan of the Motley Fool I agree with the following from Bradley Guichard

The company used $600 million of its cash to repurchase stock in the first quarter of 2024 at an average price of $66 per share, showing Vertiv's confidence that its stock was undervalued. The stock trades for just over $100 per share now.

Sales for Q1 hit $1.6 billion, an 8% growth rate. The growth doesn't seem impressive on the surface; however, the company's order volume grew by 60%. This means that customers placed 60% more orders than in the previous year, and this revenue will be recognized in future quarters.

Vertiv also reported a book-to-bill ratio of 1.5. This means that for every $1 of sales billed to a customer, Vertiv received $1.50 in new orders. Both metrics indicate significant, sustained growth, reinforcing the demand uptrend in data center infrastructure.

The biggest risk for investors in Vertiv is the stock's valuation. Its forward price-to-earnings ratio is near 45, which seems high. But that isn't the whole story. Operating profits quadrupled in 2023 over 2022, moving from $223 million to $872 million, and diluted earnings rocketed from a negative $0.04 to a positive $1.19 per share. Vertiv also raised its full-year 2024 guidance in Q1. In Q4 2023, the company forecast a 23% growth in operating income for 2024. Last quarter, it upped this to 28%.

Vertiv looks like an excellent long-term investment, given its secular tailwinds and profitable business model.

Demand still looks strong for their liquid cooling systems .
However what could go wrong here . ? ..less expensive competition , New NVDA chips requiring less cooling .

Anyone know if the new NVDA chips require less cooling ?

Kiwi

It's a valuation call . Weiss on CNBC was selling so that may have triggered it .
Anyone thats owned this for the past year has probably trimmed as simple portfolio management ...as example not letting any one position be more then 10% of your portfolio ...and sell some when it exceeds that .
Fundamentals for Co still look solid as far as I can see
JMO
Kiwi

Good luck to you

Have to disagree with you. This stock has been going up based on fundamentals. The fundamentals are not changing. I see continuation of higher growth in the next 4 quarters. This looks like a classical technical dip with investors locking in profits.
An excellent chance to “BUY THE DIP”. JMO

-19.61 in 5 days
Ouch I’m out

I sure can pick a loser
Will get out today
Cooling systems or whatever they say they do definitely aren’t in need for AI oh well on to the next one to make up losses

Down OVER $10 now and NO REASON given!

Down $10 in a week is not what I had in mind when I jumped in

By far, VRT is the best stock in my portfolio. It looks like growth will continue.

Looking great today....wish I'd have bought more at $66!

VRT new 52 week high

VRT new 52 week high

Guys come over and discuss this beauty

They have a diversified portfolio.
My believe is that the demand ,specially for cloud storage will increase significantly,,, if you compare the market cap with peers like Eaton legrand and others they are undervalued,they have like 389 million in cash and are a product of Goldman Sachs ... I already have a position and will add in dips if possible ... today it had a strong trading day and a very good close.

Tomorrow I expect the markets to be in turbulence because of the options and tge big news president trump said he was going to drop concerning China !

so what makes this a buy? I see there is good management , but there's good management in so many others in which your money just sits there waiting for something to occur which may or may not occur. what do you see as the potential here?
