Vertiv Reports Strong Q2 Results and Raises Full-Year Outlook
Vertiv Holdings Co. (NYSE:VRT) reported strong second-quarter results driven by robust demand for data center infrastructure, particularly in the Americas and Asia-Pacific regions. Sales rose 24% year-over-year to $3.274 billion, with adjusted operating profit increasing 51% to $738 million and adjusted EPS climbing 60% to $1.52—exceeding guidance by $0.12. The company raised its full-year outlook for 2026, now expecting sales of $14 billion, adjusted EPS of $6.70, adjusted operating profit of $3.325 billion, and free cash flow of $2.5 billion. Vertiv also highlighted significant improvements in free cash flow generation, reporting $925 million for the quarter—a 234% increase from last year—and a net cash position. Regional performance was mixed but generally strong: Americas saw sales rise 29%, Asia-Pacific increased by 29%, and EMEA grew slightly despite organic declines. Management attributed delays in some large projects to complexity rather than disruption, with expectations for resolution later this year.
