Power-Price Shock Hits Data Center Stocks: Equinix, Digital Realty, Vertiv in Focus This Week

Power-Price Shock Hits Data Center Stocks: Equinix, Digital Realty, Vertiv in Focus This Week

New York, Jan 25, 2026, 13:01 (ET) — Market closed. Real-time wholesale electricity prices in Dominion Energy’s Virginia service area surged past $1,800 per megawatt-hour early Sunday, pushed by Winter Storm Fern and demand that outstripped forecasts in the nation’s busiest data-center hub. That’s up from roughly $200 just a day before. PJM Interconnection expects winter demand to hit a peak of 147.2 gigawatts on Tuesday, breaking the previous January 2025 record of 143.7 GW. Data from PJM showed Dominion’s load running about 5% higher than forecast Sunday morning. (Reuters) Data center stocks face a stark reality: electricity limits growth.

New York, January 24, 2026, 12:41 EST — The market has closed.

Vertiv stock whipsaws as new AI “Next Predict” service lands ahead of Feb. 11 earnings

New York, Jan 22, 2026, 15:31 ET — Regular session Vertiv Holdings Co shares edged down 0.6% to $180.32 Thursday afternoon, retreating after an early jump. The stock topped out at $189.74 before sliding to a low of $179.34, with around 4.2 million shares changing hands. At the same time, ETFs linked to the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rose between 0.5% and 0.7%. This change matters because Vertiv now acts as a real-time gauge of how much data-center operators are spending on power and cooling equipment. This spending is propelled by AI workloads requiring denser, more energy-hungry configurations. The company

GE Vernova stock (GEV) rises even as a Japan wind delay puts turbines back in focus

NEW YORK, Jan 20, 2026, 11:16 AM EST — Regular session Shares of GE Vernova edged higher on Tuesday, outperforming the broader market despite a volatile opening. The stock climbed $12.77 to $694.32, after bouncing between $655 and $700.81. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF dropped roughly 1.1%. Eaton and Vertiv, both linked to grid and data-center power sectors, saw little movement or slight declines. This shift is significant since traders have treated GE Vernova as a straightforward play on growing electricity demand — and as a gauge for whether the power equipment cycle can endure amid fluctuating rates and

Data center stocks in focus after White House power-auction push; Super Micro jumps, Nvidia slips

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 12:59 EST — Market closed. The White House’s push for an “emergency” auction on the largest U.S. power grid is shining a harsher spotlight on data center stocks: power is becoming both political and costly. Shares tied to data centers wrapped up Friday on a mixed note but saw heavy trading, as AI server and electrical equipment stocks pushed higher ahead of the long weekend. The timing is key. U.S. markets will be closed Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, giving investors an extra two days to weigh how new rules on power

Data center stocks head into MLK break as PJM power auction plan looms; Digital Realty, Vertiv rise

NEW YORK, Jan 17, 2026, 13:36 (EST) — Market closed. U.S. data center stocks wrapped the week with mixed results as Washington urged PJM Interconnection to conduct an emergency power procurement auction. The goal: add new generation and push more costs onto large data center users. Digital Realty finished Friday up 1.9%, Vertiv climbed 2.5%, and Equinix saw little movement. (The Department of Energy’s Energy.gov) The narrative in the sector has shifted away from racks and rent, focusing instead on watts. Power availability and the rising cost of electricity now directly influence how quickly operators can scale up and what

Vertiv stock rebounds after Thursday slide as jobs data steadies rate-cut bets

Vertiv stock rebounds after Thursday slide as jobs data steadies rate-cut bets

New York, Jan 9, 2026, 15:12 EST — Regular session Shares of Vertiv Holdings Co rose 1.5% to $163.24 in afternoon trading on Friday, clawing back some ground after a sharp drop in the prior session. The data center power-and-cooling supplier fell 6.3% on Thursday, a swing that left the stock nursing losses after a tech-led pullback in U.S. equities ahead of the monthly jobs report. (Investing.com) That matters now because Vertiv trades like a rate-sensitive growth name: when investors lean toward interest-rate cuts, high-multiple infrastructure suppliers tend to catch a bid. Broader U.S. indexes were higher on Friday after

Vertiv (VRT) stock drops 6% as Nvidia cooling remarks keep AI-infrastructure trade jumpy

New York, January 8, 2026, 21:23 (EST) — Market closed Vertiv Holdings Co shares fell 6.3% to end Thursday at $160.78 after touching a session low of $158.77. Yahoo Finance The move matters now as data-center infrastructure stocks turn skittish early in 2026, with investors trying to pin down whether new chip and cooling designs change what data centers buy — and when. Reratings have been sharp and fast across anything tied to the AI buildout. Vertiv, which sells power and thermal equipment used in data centers and networks, sits at the center of that argument. Changes in cooling can

Vertiv (VRT) stock drops 7% as tech traders turn picky on AI data-center plays

New York, January 8, 2026, 15:23 ET — Regular session Shares of Vertiv Holdings fell about 7% on Thursday, trading near $159.55 and sliding as low as $158.78 after opening around $171.26. The drop lands in a market that has started to punish expensive AI-adjacent names on bad days and ask harder questions on good ones. “While AI is still hot, there are going to be winners and losers,” Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth, said, as U.S. tech stocks lagged. Reuters That scrutiny sharpens on Friday, when the Labor Department is due to publish its December
