Vertiv Holdings: Stronger Fundamentals, One Execution Test Left
RATING: BUY (downgraded from Strong Buy) | TARGET: $291 | PRICE: $253.28 as of September 25, 2026 | IMPLIED UPSIDE: 14.9%
Summary
Q2 revenue rose 24% to $3.27 Bn, adjusted operating margin expanded 410 basis points to 22.6%, and adjusted EPS increased 60% to $1.52.
The thesis strengthened through higher margins, $925 Mn of adjusted free cash flow, a net cash position, and a full-year adjusted EPS guide raised to $6.65-$6.75.
The main caution is execution: revenue missed consensus by about 3.1% as complex projects and supply congestion shifted some deliveries into the second half.
On December 12th, we will be bringing together investors and long-term thinkers at Fairmont Mt. Kenya Safari Club, Nanyuki for the Annual Henriot Capital Investor’s Summit. A full day of research, markets, meaningful conversations and shared experiences, built around one idea: long-term wealth conversations for future generations. Request an invitation below.
