NEW YORK, Feb 9, 2026, 16:06 EST — After the bell
- Vertiv shares moved higher on Monday, with U.S. tech stocks pausing after last week’s drop.
- Investors face a packed week ahead, with fresh economic data and company earnings on deck.
- Vertiv will release its quarterly results on Feb. 11.
Vertiv Holdings Co (VRT) climbed 3.8% to $202.99 as of 3:51 p.m. ET Monday, bouncing between $191.38 and $208.41 during a volatile session. LSEG data put volume at roughly 6.4 million shares traded.
The stock joined a wider rebound across growth and tech shares, with Wall Street shaking off part of last week’s AI-led slump. “You’ve a sharply oversold market where a little bit of good news can go a long way,” said Keith Lerner, chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services. Investors now turn their focus to upcoming U.S. payrolls and inflation numbers due later this week. 1
Vertiv finds itself in a tricky spot. The company is set to release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 numbers ahead of the bell on Wednesday, Feb. 11, with an earnings call scheduled for 11 a.m. ET, according to its announcement. 2
Eaton rose roughly 1.0%, nVent Electric climbed 1.9%, and Johnson Controls tacked on 0.9% as late trading lifted stocks linked to electrical equipment and building systems.
Vertiv, which makes power and cooling gear for data centers, sits in a segment that tends to swing alongside changing attitudes on AI-related spending and major project commitments.
All eyes on Wednesday’s update now. Investors want details: any shift in order flow, plus exactly what management says about margins as they ramp up delivery for denser data center projects.
Orders play a key role, since they build up backlog — that’s work the company has on the books, still waiting to be delivered. Backlog usually shapes what analysts expect for revenue over the next few quarters.
The setup slices both directions: any hint that 2026 demand looks shaky, or even a whiff of delayed project timelines, can knock the shares back fast after what’s already been a bumpy ride.
Vertiv reports before the market opens on Feb. 11, with the earnings call set for 11 a.m. Investors will be watching for management’s guidance and any color on data center demand—those details could drive the next move.
