BMO Capital Initiates Coverage of Vertiv Holdings with Outperform Rating

In the latest look at the underlying components of the S&P 500 ordered by largest market capitalization, Stryker Corp (Symbol: SYK) has taken over the #115 spot from Vertiv Holdings Co (Symbol: VRT), according to The Online Investor.
Market capitalization is an important data point for investors to keep an eye on, for various reasons. The most basic reason is that it gives a true comparison of the value attributed by the stock market to a given company's stock. Many beginning investors look at one stock trading at $10 and another trading at $20 and mistakenly think the latter company is worth twice as much — that of course is a completely meaningless comparison without knowing how many shares of each company exist. But comparing market capitalization (factoring in those share counts) creates a true "apples-to-apples" comparison of the value of two stocks. In the case of Stryker Corp (Symbol: SYK), the market cap is now $105.63 billion, versus Vertiv Holdings Co (Symbol: VRT) at $92.90 billion.
Below is a chart of Stryker Corp versus Vertiv Holdings Co plotting their respective size rank within the S&P 500 over time (SYK plotted in blue; VRT plotted in green):
Below is a three month price history chart comparing the stock performance of SYK vs. VRT:
Another reason market capitalization is important is where it places a company in terms of its size tier in relation to peers — much like the way a mid-size sedan is typically compared to other mid-size sedans (and not SUV's). This can have a direct impact on which mutual funds and ETFs are willing to own the stock. For instance, a mutual fund that is focused solely on Large Cap stocks may for example only be interested in those companies sized $10 billion or larger. Another illustrative example is the S&P MidCap index which essentially takes the S&P 500 index and "tosses out" the biggest 100 companies so as to focus solely on the 400 smaller "up-and-comers" (which in the right environment can outperform their larger rivals). So a company's market cap, especially in relation to other companies, carries great importance, and for this reason we at The Online Investor find value to putting together these rankings daily.
Examine the full SYK market cap history vs. the full VRT market cap history.
At the closing bell, SYK is down about 0.9%, while VRT is up about 2.1% on the day Thursday.

Stryker Now #115 Largest Company, Surpassing Vertiv Holdings

Key Points
Vertiv Holdings provides the power management and cooling systems that keep AI data centers from overheating.
The company just signed deals for two key acquisitions.
It also raised its guidance for 2026 and is reasonably valued.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been the single biggest driver of this nearly four-year bull market, and as its use expands, more investment opportunities emerge.
The impact is multitiered -- from the chips that process AI tasks to the data centers that house clusters of them and meet the demand for AI computing power; from the infrastructure and networks needed to power data centers and move the information from machine to machine, to the memory hardware that keeps all the data accessible to the servers that require it.
Missed AI’s "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 15x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our analysts, we’re only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
One critical group of companies within the AI universe are the specialists that manufacture and service the equipment that routes the massive electrical supplies required by AI data centers and provides the liquid cooling systems that dissipate the intense heat those powerful processors generate.
The leader in this area is Vertiv Holdings (NYSE: VRT). Vertiv addresses a major potential problem for all data centers and networks that compute AI data. Because so much electricity is required to run high-end data systems, the GPUs and CPUs generate large amounts of heat, as does the supporting power equipment. That heat can slow their processing speeds and shorten the chips' useful lives, if it's not removed efficiently.
For that reason, Vertiv's cooling systems have been in high demand, and its stock price is soaring, up 55% year to date. With that impressive performance behind it, is it still a buy?
Two new acquisitions
Vertiv signed deals for two major acquisitions this month. It agreed to buy UtilityInnovation Group, which makes microgrids that help data centers get more of the power they need. Those microgrids also benefit utilities by taking some of the strain off of regional power grids. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Vertiv's adjusted earnings in the first quarter after closing.
Last week, Vertiv announced it was acquiring Ireland-based King Environmental, which provides liquid-cooling services and testing for data centers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This will help Vertiv expand its global presence and leadership in the industry.
These expansion moves come after a strong second quarter for Vertiv. In the period, it increased net sales by 24% year over year to $3.3 billion, grew earnings by 53% to $1.27, and increased adjusted EPS by 60% to $1.51. It also boosted its operating cash flow by 241% to $1.1 billion and its free cash flow by 234% to $925 million. The company is making the $1.45 billion UtilityInnovation acquisition with cash, and it had $5.6 billion in liquidity at the end of Q2, so it will remain in a strong cash position after that deal closes.
A strong buy
Vertiv also projects free cash flow in the range of $2.4 billion to $2.6 billion for 2026, up 32% at the midpoint. When it delivered its Q2 numbers, it also raised its guidance for net sales and earnings for the year. In now expects 37% revenue growth and 60% adjusted earnings growth, driven by a strong project backlog.
It's also worth noting that at Vertiv's investor day in May, management targeted 20% to 22% compound annual revenue growth through 2030.
While there has been meaningful public pushback against data center development across the country, demand for them remains high and the funding continues to materialize, which puts Vertiv in a great spot.
Its shares have dropped in recent months, but now the stock is reasonably valued, with a forward P/E ratio of 27 and a five-year PEG below 1, suggesting that it's a long-term value. As such, Vertiv looks like a strong buy right now.

1. Iren: A vertically integrated AI cloud
Shares of Iren have surged more than 1,000% over the past three years, and it's not hard to see the stock continuing to push to new highs. Iren is building an artificial intelligence (AI) cloud platform from the ground up: It owns the land, controls the power, and uses in-house construction and engineering teams to build its facilities. These assets are hard to replicate. Iren also recently completed the acquisition of Mirantis, adding software capabilities to complement its data center hardware.
Iren isn't just building data centers. The Mirantis deal shows Iren is positioning to become a leading AI cloud infrastructure provider over the long term -- and that ambition still isn't reflected in the stock's $19 billion market value.
The company is currently at $1 billion in annualized revenue, with management guiding to $4 billion by the end of 2026. Contract pricing for capacity is also moving higher. Recent three-year contracts have cleared more than $20 million of revenue per IT megawatt, with current discussions pointing to $25 million per megawatt.
Iren has a pipeline of more than 5 gigawatts, which translates into tens of billions in long-term revenue potential. It just delivered the first of four 50-megawatt liquid-cooled units to Microsoft as part of a previously announced five-year, $9.7 billion deal from October 2025. The next deployments are expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.
That first delivery validates Iren's ability to execute complex projects -- a must-have capability in today's market. It also reinforces the strength of Iren's vertically integrated approach, which could help it build faster, hit timelines, and win more large-scale contracts.
Wall Street analysts expect adjusted operating profit to reach $10.7 billion by fiscal 2029. Against an enterprise value (market cap plus net debt) of about $19 billion, the stock looks cheap. Investors who are able to hold through near-term volatility could be rewarded.
2. Vertiv: A leader in power management and cooling
Vertiv helps data centers manage power usage and keep chips running efficiently with advanced cooling systems, including liquid cooling. The company's revenue growth has strengthened over the past three years, pushing the stock up 596%.
As server racks draw more power and generate more heat, Vertiv can sell more equipment to each data center. Over time, that can translate into higher revenue per build-out -- and stronger margins as demand shifts toward more complex, higher-value systems.
In the recent quarter, revenue grew 24% year over year, with adjusted operating profit margin above 22%. Management is seeing a strong data center market that's expanding geographically, with smaller frontier AI labs maturing into larger customers with bigger spending budgets. These trends support Vertiv's growth outlook.
That backdrop is why management now guides for long-term annualized revenue growth of 20% to 22% through 2030, up from its prior 12% to 14% outlook. It also expects adjusted operating margin to improve to at least 27%, which would drive faster earnings growth.
Management's confidence reflects broad demand -- from individual products like switchgear to full-system designs through offerings like OneCore and SmartRun. That end-to-end footprint can deepen customer relationships and increase long-term stickiness.
Wall Street expects long-term earnings growth of 38% annually. If that plays out, investors could see strong returns even with the stock trading at around a forward price-to-earnings multiple of 37.

Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Wall Street finished virtually flat on Sept. 24, as stocks staged a late-day recovery, erasing earlier losses triggered by surging bond yields and rising oil prices. A brief intraday pullback came as investors digested potential U.S.-Iran discussions regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
With the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield surging to its highest level since 2004, market participants remain cautious about concentrating heavily in high-multiple, pure-growth stocks.
Instead, dividend growth stocks offer an appealing sweet spot: combining steady income generation, lower equity volatility and long-term compounding power amid macro uncertainty.
These companies boast a proven track record of increasing payouts, underscoring the balance-sheet strength and cash-flow resilience required to navigate a market environment where traditional growth narratives are being reassessed.
Stocks with a strong history of year-over-year dividend growth can help build a resilient portfolio with greater potential for capital appreciation compared to simple dividend-paying or high-yield stocks.
We have selected five dividend growth stocks, Enersys Inc. ENS, Amgen AMGN, Cheesecake Factory CAKE, Vertiv Holdings VRT and Taiwan Semiconductor TSM, which could be solid choices for your portfolio.
Why Is Dividend Growth Better?
Stocks with a strong history of dividend growth are typically associated with mature companies that are less prone to sharp market swings, allowing them to serve as a hedge against economic or political uncertainty as well as broader market volatility. Their steadily rising payouts provide some measure of downside protection.
These companies are generally backed by solid fundamentals, making them attractive long-term dividend-growth investments. Key strengths include durable business models, consistent profitability, expanding cash flows, healthy liquidity, strong balance sheets and attractive valuations.
A consistent history of dividend growth underscores the potential for continued growth ahead.
Although these stocks do not necessarily have the highest yields, they have outperformed the broader stock market and other dividend-paying stocks over an extended period.
As a result, selecting dividend-growth stocks appears to be a winning strategy when other key parameters are taken into account.
5-Year Historical Dividend Growth Greater Than Zero: This selects stocks with a solid dividend growth history.
5-Year Historical Sales Growth Greater Than Zero: This represents stocks with a strong record of growing revenues.
5-Year Historical EPS Growth Greater Than Zero: This represents stocks with a solid earnings growth history.
Next 3-5 Year EPS Growth Rate Greater Than Zero: This represents the rate at which a company's earnings are expected to grow. Improving earnings should help companies sustain dividend payments.
Price/Cash Flow Less Than M-Industry: A ratio lower than the industry median indicates that a stock is undervalued within its industry, meaning an investor would pay less for the company’s cash flow.
52-Week Price Change Greater Than S&P 500 (Market Weight): This ensures that a stock has appreciated more than the S&P 500 over the past year.
Top Zacks Rank: Stocks having a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) generally outperform their peers in all types of market environments.
Growth Score of B or Better: Our research shows that stocks with a Growth Score of A or B, when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 or 2, offer the best upside potential.

Bet on These 5 Dividend Growth Stocks Amid Rising Treasury Yields

TD SYNNEX Corporation SNX reported non-GAAP earnings of $5.68 per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 22.4%. The bottom line increased 58.7% year over year. Revenues of $21.56 billion surpassed the consensus mark by 14.8% and rose 37.7% year over year.
The strong performance reflected broad-based momentum across Distribution and Hyve Solutions. Non-GAAP gross billings climbed 40% year over year to $31.83 billion, with both businesses growing above management's expectations.
SNX's Distribution Business Maintains Strong Momentum
Distribution revenues totaled $17.76 billion, up 35% year over year. Non-GAAP gross billings increased 27% to $24.82 billion, reflecting double-digit growth across all regions and most major technologies. Data center infrastructure was a notable area of strength.
Distribution non-GAAP operating income jumped 55% to $483.5 million. Non-GAAP operating margin, measured against gross billings, expanded 35 basis points to 1.95%. Management attributed the improvement to strong gross billings growth and disciplined expense management despite some pressure from customer and product mix.
Within the Distribution business, Advanced Solutions revenues increased 57% year over year to $8.5 billion, supported by infrastructure, software and AI-related technologies. Non-GAAP gross billings rose 37% to $14.5 billion.
Endpoint Solutions revenues advanced 20% to $9.3 billion, while gross billings increased 16% to $10.3 billion. PC demand benefited from higher average selling prices despite a modest decline in units. Within Distribution, servers and storage posted 67% year-over-year growth in gross billings, the strongest growth among the disclosed product categories.
TD SYNNEX Corporation Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
TD SYNNEX's Hyve Growth Remains Robust
Hyve Solutions generated revenues of $3.80 billion, up 51.7% year over year. Non-GAAP gross billings surged 117.5% to $7.01 billion, driven by higher manufacturing volumes and continued strength in supply-chain services. Manufacturing grew more than 130%, while supply-chain services advanced more than 90%.
Hyve's non-GAAP operating income increased 55.8% to $253 million. However, non-GAAP operating margin based on gross billings contracted 143 basis points to 3.61%. The decline reflected a greater contribution from large AI rack programs, which are profitable but carry lower margins than the Hyve average.
TD SYNNEX Posts Growth Across All Regions
Americas Distribution revenues climbed 39.9% year over year to $10.32 billion, while gross billings increased 28% to $14.98 billion. The growth was driven primarily by servers and storage, software and PCs.
Europe Distribution revenues rose 30.2% to $6.37 billion, with gross billings up 26% to $8.16 billion. Asia-Pacific and Japan Distribution revenues jumped 21.7% to $1.07 billion, while gross billings advanced 26.1% to $1.67 billion. Europe recorded particularly strong operating leverage, with non-GAAP operating income rising 116.4%.
TD SYNNEX's Q3 Profitability
Gross profit increased 26.2% year over year to $1.43 billion, while gross margin contracted 61 basis points to 6.61%, reflecting business mix, including higher Hyve contributions and lower-margin AI infrastructure programs.
Non-GAAP operating income climbed 55.1% to $736 million. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 39 basis points year over year to 3.42%, supported by higher business volumes and improved Distribution operating margins. Disciplined cost management also helped operating profit grow faster than gross profit.
SNX's Cash Flow and Shareholder Returns
TD SYNNEX ended the third quarter with $749.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $3.60 billion in long-term borrowings. Operating cash outflow was $916.7 million, while free cash flow usage totaled $975.6 million. The cash use mainly reflected higher inventory and working capital investments to support Hyve's new customers and programs.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2026, operating cash outflow was $2.08 billion, while free cash flow usage totaled $2.24 billion.
TD SYNNEX returned about $138.7 million to shareholders in the third quarter through roughly $100.3 million in share repurchases and $38.4 million in dividends. During the first nine months, SNX repurchased $292.4 million of common stock and paid $115.6 million in dividends.

TD SYNNEX Q3 Earnings Beat Estimates on Distribution and Hyve Strength

(RTTNews) - Vertiv Holdings Co. (VRT), a provider of infrastructure and services for data centers, communication networks, and commercial and industrial environments, announced on Thursday that it has agreed to acquire King Environmental Services Ltd., a Europe-based provider of fluid management, commissioning and load-testing services for liquid-cooled data centers. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Vertiv said the deal will expand its thermal management services into Europe, the Middle East and Africa, building on its North American presence established through the 2025 acquisition of PurgeRite.
King Environmental Services adds capabilities in system preparation, performance validation, monitoring, maintenance and lifecycle optimization. Vertiv said combining these with its broader portfolio will strengthen support for customers deploying high-density and AI-driven infrastructure.
The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.
In pre-market activity on the NYSE, shares of Vertiv were down 1.68 percent, changing hands at $244.60, after closing Wednesday's regular session 1.85 percent lower.

Vertiv To Acquire King Environmental Services, Expand Fluid Management In EMEA

Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving expansion of data centers, bringing cooling and power infrastructure into sharper focus. This is creating opportunities for companies that supply the infrastructure behind modern data centers. Companies such as Eaton Corporation ETN and Vertiv VRT stand tall in this backdrop.
Eaton is a global leader in power management and electrical systems, while Vertiv is a leading global provider of critical digital infrastructure and services for data centers, communication networks, and commercial and industrial environments.
With innovative product portfolios, recurring revenue streams and strong exposure to digital transformation trends, both companies are well-positioned to benefit.
For long-term investors, which stock offers the more compelling opportunity? Let’s take a closer look at both companies' fundamentals.
Factors to Consider for ETN
Eaton is positioned to benefit from grid modernization, data-center expansion, industrial automation, the energy transition and an aerospace recovery. Its growing backlog underscores strong demand and the importance of its power-management solutions across critical infrastructure.
Innovation and sustainability underpin Eaton’s strategy. The company plans to invest approximately $3 billion in research and development over the next decade, advancing sustainable technologies, broadening its portfolio and addressing evolving customer needs.
Acquisitions, including Fibrebond, Resilient Power, Ultra PCS and Boyd, strengthen Eaton’s capabilities across electrical infrastructure, aerospace and other priority markets. These additions offer attractive growth prospects and opportunities to enhance margins.
AI-driven data-center development presents a significant opportunity, given these facilities’ substantial power, reliability and efficiency requirements. Eaton’s expanding reach across the electrical power value chain supports its ability to capture this demand. Exposure to utilities, industrial, commercial, residential and aerospace markets further diversifies its revenue base.
Portfolio optimization, productivity improvements and disciplined execution should support operating efficiency and margin expansion. The planned Mobility separation will enable Eaton to allocate more capital toward businesses offering stronger growth and returns.
Meanwhile, Eaton is investing more than $1 billion in capacity expansion and pursuing roughly two dozen Electrical Americas projects. As these facilities ramp up, they should increase production, support higher daily revenues and improve the company’s ability to fulfill sustained customer demand.
Factors to Consider for VRT
Vertiv is well-positioned for sustained growth as expanding AI infrastructure drives demand for power, cooling, services and integrated deployment support. Its broad portfolio enables it to capture spending across these critical areas as AI computing capacity scales. Demand remains strong across the Americas and Asia Pacific, while EMEA has returned to growth with a strengthening pipeline.
The company is expanding its liquid-cooling capabilities through strategic acquisitions. Its April 2026 purchase of Strategic Thermal Labs strengthens its expertise in cold-plate design and server-side liquid cooling for AI workloads. Its collaboration with NVIDIA and the development of 800-volt DC power solutions further reinforce Vertiv’s role in next-generation data center designs.
Vertiv continues to invest in advanced power architectures, thermal systems, services and converged infrastructure as higher-density AI deployments increase infrastructure requirements per megawatt. Its technology roadmap spans traditional AC, medium-voltage AC and 800-volt DC architectures, with customer validation and deployments planned through 2028.
Strong execution is supporting margin expansion and higher cash generation, while a net cash position provides flexibility for continued investment. Management raised its full-year 2026 adjusted operating margin guidance to 23.3%-24.3% and expects pricing gains to outpace inflation, including the impact of current tariffs and countermeasures.
Reflecting this momentum, Vertiv raised its 2026 net sales outlook to $14 billion, representing 37% year-over-year growth. Adjusted EPS is now projected at $6.70, up 60% from 2025, while adjusted operating profit is expected to increase nearly 60%. Adjusted free cash flow is forecast at $2.5 billion.
Price Performance of ETN and VRT
ETN shares have gained 36.7% year to date, while VRT shares have risen 54.8%.
Estimates for ETN and VRT
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for ETN’s 2026 revenues implies a year-over-year increase of 19%, while that for EPS implies a rise of 12.2%. EPS estimates witnessed a 3-cent upward movement in the past 30 days. The expected long-term earnings growth rate is 12.2%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for VRT’s 2026 revenues implies a year-over-year increase of 36.9%, and that for EPS implies a rise of 59.3%. EPS estimates witnessed a 5-cent upward movement in the past 30 days. The expected long-term earnings growth rate is 36.3%.
Are ETN and VRT Shares Expensive?
Eaton is trading at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings of 28.45X, above the median of 27.25X over the last three years.
Vertiv is trading at a forward 12-month price-to-earnings of 30.1X, below the median of 32.24X over the last three years.
Vertiv shares are more expensive than Eaton’s.
Conclusion
Eaton continues to deliver strong performance across its core businesses while benefiting from rising demand tied to data center expansion. Focusing on research and development supports innovation, improves its product portfolio and enables it to meet changing customer requirements better. Additionally, strategic acquisitions are enhancing Eaton’s capabilities, broadening its product offerings and increasing its reach across attractive growth markets.
AI infrastructure demand, integrated capabilities, technology investment, margin execution, and financial flexibility support sustained growth and potential market share gains for Vertiv.
While Vertiv carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) at present, Eaton has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Given positive analyst sentiment and growth estimates, Vertiv, with a VGM Score of A, has an edge over Eaton, which has a VGM Score of D.
