NEW YORK, January 2, 2026, 13:40 ET — Regular session Vertiv Holdings Co shares were up 8.2% at $175.33 in afternoon trading on Friday after Barclays upgraded the data-center power and cooling supplier and raised its price target to $200. Barclays analyst Julian Mitchell said the stock had “substantial upside potential” to consensus earnings estimates in 2026 and 2027. TipRanks The call matters because investors have been treating data-center infrastructure as a front-line trade on artificial intelligence spending, and small shifts in expected demand can swing valuations. Vertiv sells the power and thermal gear that keeps high-density servers running. Barclays’

Vertiv (VRT) stock slips in thin year-end trade as Fed minutes reset rate focus

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 20:22 ET — Market closed Vertiv Holdings Co shares fell 0.7% to $164.34 on Tuesday, tracking a soft finish for U.S. equities into the final day of the year. The pullback matters now because year-end flows can exaggerate moves in stocks tied to big themes such as data-center expansion, especially when liquidity is thin. Rate expectations also tend to loom larger late in the year as investors reset allocations for 2026.

Data Center Stocks Week Ahead: AI Capex Scrutiny, Power Constraints, and Holiday Trading Put Nvidia, Vertiv, and Data Center REITs in Focus

Data center stocks head into the week of December 22, 2025 at an unusual intersection: the AI infrastructure buildout is still accelerating, but markets are getting far less forgiving about how it’s funded, how quickly it pays back, and whether the power grid can keep up. That tension was on full display from December 19–21—a three-day stretch that brought fresh evidence of a global data center construction wave, rising regulatory and political pushback on electricity costs, and renewed questions about the sustainability of debt-heavy AI expansion. At the same time, parts of the AI trade bounced late in the week

Vertiv “VRT” — the publicly traded Vertiv Holdings Co. (often mistakenly referred to as “Vertiv Holdings, LLC”) — is back in focus on December 18, 2025 after a volatile stretch for AI- and data-center-linked equities.
