Vertiv supplies the power distribution, backup and liquid-cooling equipment that keeps data-centre racks running, the physical backbone under the AI build-out. It sits in the power and cooling part of the theme. It is liked for a fast improvement in quality: gross margin up nearly eight points in three years, return on capital up to 20% and a balance sheet cleaned of debt.
Where this sits in the cycle
A direct play on data-centre construction; it thrives while build schedules hold and is exposed to any pause in AI spending and to China manufacturing and tariff risk.
