Vertiv Posts $1.95 Third-Quarter EPS
VRT sits 45% above its 52-week low of $147.82.
Summary
Vertiv reported third-quarter EPS of $1.95 and net income of $764.5M, with sales of $4.31B. Adjusted EPS came in at $2.21 and the adjusted operating margin was 25.2%, as the company posted strong third-quarter 2026 results with net sales growth of 61%, organic orders growth over 100% and diluted EPS growth of 91% (adjusted diluted EPS growth of 78%), and it raised full-year 2026 guidance across all key metrics, to net sales of $14.45B-$14.85B and adjusted diluted EPS of $7.10-$7.20, with Q4 adjusted EPS guided to $2.22-$2.28. The print lands after a busy stretch of dealmaking: the company closed its roughly $1.45 billion cash acquisition of UtilityInnovation Group on October 27 and completed the King Environmental Services purchase on October 26. With the stock at $214.06 and a market value near $80 billion, the EPS figure is the first hard read on whether the data-center power buildout is still translating into earnings.
