Vertiv Holdings Co, VRT

On Thursday, the regular session ended at $209.64, up 1.50%. After hours, the stock climbed 3.36% to $216.69 on the product news.
That after-hours gain did not carry into Friday. The stock gave back more than it had picked up.
The market value sits near $80.72 billion. Over the past 52 weeks, the stock has ranged from $147.82 to $379.94.
A Panel Built for Heavy Racks
The first launch is the PowerStation 3100 RPP, a remote power panel. It targets AI and high-performance computing racks that draw more than 100 kW.
The panel delivers 600 A to 1,200 A on one UL-listed platform. It is available now in North America.
One hardware platform handles four setups: 600 A, 800 A, 1,000 A and 1,200 A. That keeps things simple for buyers.
The circuit breakers carry higher short-circuit withstand and interrupting ratings for four-wire designs. Each branch breaker has a built-in remote shunt trip.
That feature lets a leak detection system cut power to a single rack. The rest of the row keeps running.
Trip units can switch between 60 A, 100 A and 150 A ratings in the same breaker frame. Built-in metering tracks power use, plus breaker position and trip status.
The panel is a UL-891 listed assembly. It works with both AC power distribution and DC rack designs.
Service access is front-only, and mounting is flexible. Vertiv says it can run alone or pair with its SmartRun and OneCore solutions.
Kyle Keeper, senior vice president of Vertiv’s power business unit, said new GPU generations push rack power demands higher. He said customers need gear that handles current builds and future designs.
A Medium-Voltage System for the Outdoors
The second launch is the PowerNexus MV UPS. It is an outdoor-rated, medium-voltage system for colocation, neocloud and hyperscale operators.
Vertiv pitches it as an answer to grid queues and tight indoor space. Both can slow deployment and delay revenue.
The company lists up to 98.5% peak operating efficiency. It also cites up to four hours of battery-backed operation when paired with long-duration batteries.
That setup can cut reliance on diesel generators. Shipments are expected to begin in mid-2027.
QTS, SoftBank Group and Rosendin finished proof-of-concept testing at Vertiv’s R&D center in Bologna, Italy. The company reported stable performance across 0% to 100% loads.
The system also rode through a 100% voltage sag lasting 150 milliseconds. A QTS executive said the tests showed stable power through load changes and voltage disturbances.
The Relative Strength Index for VRT stands at 47.51. The stock is up 28.11% over the past 12 months.
On Wednesday, JPMorgan analyst Julian Mitchell reinstated coverage with a Neutral rating and a $240 price target. That target sits about 19% above Friday’s price.
