Q3 2026 earnings recap
Vertiv’s Q3 sales and profit beat forecasts, and it raised its full-year outlook as data-center demand strengthened; the next test is turning more orders into profitable deliveries.
- Adjusted EPS (profit per share) was $2.21 versus the $1.82 forecast, a 21.4% beat, while standard-accounting EPS was $1.95.
- Revenue reached $4.31 billion, about 15% above the $3.75 billion forecast, following a revenue miss in the previous quarter.
- Vertiv raised its full-year adjusted profit-per-share outlook to $7.1–$7.2 from $6.65–$6.75, giving investors a higher earnings target to assess.
- Adjusted operating margin reached 25.2%, up from 22.3% a year earlier, meaning more sales became operating profit.
- At the October 27 close, the stock cost about 29 times the company’s updated annual adjusted profit-per-share forecast, before the earnings reaction.
- The October 27 closing price of $208.56 was below its 20-day and 50-day averages, so those charts show the setup before the new results.
Watch order delivery, manufacturing capacity and cash generation, because project delays or weaker customer spending could undermine the raised outlook.
