Recent product and AI-related announcements often saw mixed or negative next-day moves, even when the news was strategically positive.

Recent Company History

Over the past months, Vertiv has focused on AI-driven services, liquid cooling infrastructure, and thought-leadership around data center trends, while maintaining active investor outreach. Announcements on AI predictive maintenance, modular liquid cooling, and the Vertiv Frontiers report tied the story closely to high-density AI and HPC demand, yet price reactions were sometimes negative. The current earnings release, highlighting strong growth, large backlog, and robust guidance, builds directly on this AI-centric infrastructure narrative and follows the previously announced Feb 11, 2026 earnings date.

Analysis

The stock is surging +23.4% following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with the robust fundamentals highlighted in the release, including Q4 net sales of $2,880M, organic orders up 252%, and backlog of $15.0B. Historically, Vertiv’s AI and infrastructure news sometimes saw muted or negative follow-through, so sustained strength would depend on how investors digest the ambitious 2026 guidance of $13,250M–$13,750M in sales and diluted EPS of $5.27–$5.37, alongside continued execution on large data center demand.

Key Terms

adjusted free cash flow, adjusted diluted eps, book-to-bill ratio, basis points, +3 more

7 terms

adjusted free cash flow financial

"Operating cash flow of $1,005 million and adjusted free cash flow(1) of $910 million"

Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.

adjusted diluted eps financial

"diluted EPS growth of 200% (Adjusted Diluted EPS +37%)"

Adjusted diluted EPS is a company’s profit per share after adding back or removing one-time items (like restructuring costs or gains) and dividing by the number of shares including potential shares from options and convertible securities. Investors use it as a cleaner view of ongoing earnings—like looking at a car’s regular fuel efficiency rather than a trip boosted by downhill coasting—to judge underlying performance and compare companies without temporary distortions.

book-to-bill ratio financial

"Fourth quarter 2025 book-to-bill ratio was ~2.9x and backlog increased"

The book-to-bill ratio compares the value of new orders a company receives to the value of products it ships out or bills for over a certain period. If the ratio is above 1, it means the company is getting more orders than it is completing, which can indicate growth. If it's below 1, it suggests demand is slowing down.

basis points financial

"Adjusted operating margin of 23.2%, up 170 basis points compared to"

Basis points are a way to measure small changes in interest rates or percentages, where one basis point equals 0.01%. For example, if a loan's interest rate increases by 50 basis points, it's gone up by 0.50%. They help people understand tiny differences in rates that can add up over time, making financial comparisons clearer.

non-gaap financial

"This release contains certain non-GAAP metrics. For reconciliations"

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

restricted stock units financial

"vesting and settlement of restricted stock units and related dividend-equivalent units"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

form 4 regulatory

"filed a Form 4 for activity on 12/18/2025."

Form 4 is a official document that company insiders, such as executives or major shareholders, file with regulators whenever they buy or sell company shares. It provides transparency about how those with inside knowledge are trading, helping investors see if insiders are confident in the company's prospects or may be selling for personal reasons. This information can influence investor decisions by revealing insiders' perspectives on the company's value.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. Vertiv reported fourth quarter net sales of $2,880 million, an increase of $534 million, or 23%, compared to fourth quarter 2024, driven by organic sales growth of 19%. Orders momentum accelerated significantly with fourth quarter organic orders up approximately 252% compared to last year's fourth quarter and up 117% sequentially from third quarter 2025. While the Americas region and hyperscale/colocation data centers were the primary drivers of order strength, order growth was broad-based across regions, technologies and customers. The company's trailing twelve-month organic orders grew approximately 81% compared to the prior year period, reflecting robust market demand, particularly in AI infrastructure. Fourth quarter 2025 book-to-bill ratio was ~2.9x and backlog increased to $15.0 billion, up 109% compared to the same period last year.

Fourth quarter operating profit of $580 million increased $123 million and adjusted operating profit of $668 million increased $164 million, up 27% and 33%, respectively, from fourth quarter 2024. 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 Liquidity

Net 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 Guidance

The 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Financial 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.

Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures

To 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; and
• Adjusted 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.

(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.
