10-Q filed July 29: Vertiv

Vertiv's revenue reached $13.1bn in the twelve months to June 2026, up 35.3% on a year earlier and well ahead of the 26.2% growth recorded a quarter before. Margins improved alongside the top line: free cash flow margin climbed to 23.9% from 13.8%, while operating margin widened to 20.1% from 17.6%. These gains lift the fundamentals grade from B to B+. Our model value, however, barely moves, holding at $302 a share even as the shares trade at $209. That gap between model value and price has narrowed enough to prompt a change in rating, from Buy to Hold, despite the stronger underlying numbers.

The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~February 10, 2027 (estimated)

Vertiv's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 35.3% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of 23.9%. Where it stands out: free-cash-flow margin of 23.9% ranks 1 of 56 electrical components & equipment companies we cover.

Our discounted-cash-flow model values the business at ~$340 per share in the base case (~$260–$440 across growth scenarios) — model values under stated assumptions, not a price target.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow grew 134.5% while net income grew 102.9%: a 32pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Priced below our value. The share price of $224.24 is 52% below our value per share of $340.
  • Fast growth. Revenue grew 35.3% over the last 12 months, against a median of 10.6% for electrical components & equipment companies we cover.
  • Growth speeding up. The growth rate is 9.0 points higher than a quarter earlier.
  • Strong cash generation. 23.9% of revenue turned into free cash flow, against a median of -8.8% for electrical components & equipment companies we cover.
  • Beating expectations. Earnings per share beat the analysts' consensus estimate in each of the last four quarters.

Things to watch

  • High earnings multiple. The shares trade at 42 times the last 12 months' earnings, so expectations are demanding.
  • Volatile shares. Over the past year the shares showed annualised volatility of 68% and a beta of 2.9 against the S&P 500.
  • Insiders selling. 7 insiders sold $128M of stock over the past 365 days and none bought (18% under pre-set trading plans).
  • Below peers: days sales outstanding. Days sales outstanding of 122 days ranks 40 of 50 electrical components & equipment companies we cover (median 72 days).

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 16.2% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is slower than the 21.3% a year revenue growth Vertiv has delivered.

Read with care: free cash flow has swung sharply in the past year (often a one-off tax, legal or working-capital item), so the cash-flow base behind this reading may be unusually low or high.

  • Priced in16.2%
  • Last 12 months35.3%
  • 3 years a year25.4%
  • 5 years a year21.3%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($235.44, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of Vertiv's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($2.4B, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 32.5% and 24% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 20% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$260–~$440 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of Vertiv's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $2.4B, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value Vertiv as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 12.9%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 1.77 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How Vertiv’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Implied vs realised volatility

Options look cheap

Option prices imply less movement than the shares have recently shown. Selling options pays little for the risk taken.

  • Implied is 0.94× the last 60 days’ realised volatility , richer than 13% of the 229 stocks we screen today.
  • Calls are priced 3 points richer than puts (25-delta): demand for upside is high, which favours selling calls over puts.
  • Why: implied is below 60-day realised: selling options pays little for the risk taken.

Our rule for “rich”: implied at least 1.2× 60-day realised (beyond measurement noise), above 1-year realised (not just a calm spell), and in the top 20% of our coverage that day. Never with results inside the option’s life. These are our conventions, built on research showing option prices usually imply more movement than follows, most when the gap is wide. How we judge this.

VRT Vertiv Grade B+ $225.27

Sell the $220 put expiring December 4, 2026 (32 days) for $12.40 a share — $1,240 per contract.

Previous session · Bid $12.40, ask $14.60, quoted Mon 2 Nov, 17:39 New York time with VRT at $225.27. Option prices move with the shares: check the live chain at your broker before trading.

  • If VRT ends above $220: you keep the $1,240 — 5.6% on the $22,000 set aside, or 64.3% a year at that pace.
  • If it ends below $220: you buy 100 shares at an effective $207.6, 8% below today's price and 39% below our value of ~$340.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: the shares trade below our fair value: a collar caps upside the model expects.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.

Fundamentals grade B+
Growth Profitability Cash Balance sheet Value

Growth, profitability, cash generation and balance sheet are percentiles against the companies we cover in the same industry, from SEC filings (100 = best). Value compares the share price with our modelled value range (50 = at our base value; higher = cheaper). A description of reported data and our model — not a quality score or advice.

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
