Vertiv Holdings Co (VRT) just added another proof point to its AI data center story, closing the PurgeRite acquisition, deepening a high profile Hut 8 and Jacobs collaboration, and backing it with a higher dividend.

See our latest analysis for Vertiv Holdings Co.

Despite a sharp 7 day share price return of negative 13.6 percent and a softer 30 day share price return of negative 6.4 percent, Vertiv still has a robust year to date share price return of about 30 percent and a 3 year total shareholder return above 1,100 percent. This suggests that long term momentum remains intact even as near term enthusiasm cools.

If Vertiv's AI infrastructure push has caught your eye, it could be worth exploring other high potential names using our high growth tech and AI stocks to see what else is building momentum.

With AI data center orders surging, a near 30 percent intrinsic discount and analyst targets sitting well above today’s price, investors face a key question: is Vertiv still mispriced, or is the market already baking in its next leg of growth?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 21.6% Undervalued

With Vertiv last closing at $154.37 against a narrative fair value near $196.83, the story leans firmly toward upside potential grounded in long term AI demand.

Ongoing investments in R&D and engineering, highlighted by collaborations with industry leaders (e.g., CoreWeave, Dell, Oklo), position Vertiv to deliver next-generation solutions ahead of technology refresh cycles, creating recurring upgrade opportunities and sustaining top-line and earnings growth.

To see the math behind that confidence, from aggressive revenue ramps to a richer profit profile and a bold future earnings multiple, unpack the full narrative.

Result: Fair Value of $196.83 (UNDERVALUED)

Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.

However, persistent supply chain hiccups or hyperscale customers bringing more power and cooling in house could cap Vertiv's margins and slow its AI driven momentum.

Another Angle on Valuation

While the narrative and DCF work suggest Vertiv may be undervalued, the market is already paying a steep price at about 57 times earnings. This compares with 31 times for the US Electrical industry and 36.5 times for peers, and a fair ratio of 57.1 times indicates there may be little multiple cushion if growth stumbles.
