Vertiv: The Infrastructure Layer Behind AI's Biggest Constraint
Summary I am reiterating Vertiv (VRT) as a Strong Buy because AI-Infrastructure growth is increasingly constrained by power availability, cooling density and grid access. VRT has the solution to those bottlenecks. The main growth drivers are high-density AI power systems, Vertiv OneCore modular infrastructure, 800 VDC architecture, EnergyCore Grid BESS and expanding service and thermal management business. I estimate these growth drivers can help grow adjusted EBITDA from about $3.55Bn in 2026 to about $4.9Bn in 2027 adjusted EBITDA. My Price Target for VRT is $492, representing a 33% upside potential. I arrive at my PT by using a 39x FWD EV/EBITDA and $4.9Bn 2027 adjusted EBITDA. The biggest risks are valuation compression, AI infrastructure deployment delays, AI Power winter and execution challenges around manufacturing scale and supply chains.

A similar development has also been observed in numerous hyperscalers', foundries', and data center REITs' promising forward commentary.
