What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of VRT's valuation, growth and risks.
VRT's trailing P/E of 51.75 is 52.2% above the Industrials median of 34.0, and the peer comparison on this page labels that a premium to peers. Measured against sales, the stock trades at 7.20 times, which is 80.0% above the sector median of 4.0. To put the size in context, VRT has a market capitalisation of $79.5B and trailing earnings of $4.15 per share.
With revenue growth of 24.10%, VRT is 12.4 percentage points faster than the sector median of 11.7%. Profitability shows a net margin of 15.09% and an operating margin of 20.36%, with a return on equity of 43.94%, above the sector median of 17.8%. The balance sheet and payout round out the picture, with debt-to-equity of 0.70 and a trailing dividend yield of 0.12% ($0.252 a share a year).
The July 29, 2026 report delivered EPS of $1.52 against the $1.43 analysts had forecast, a beat of 6.29%. In the first session after the release, the share price climbed 2.00%.
The record is a clean sweep: 8 beats in 8 reports, though the stock still fell in the first session after 2 of those 8 beats. The largest of the earlier reactions came after the October 22, 2025 report, which beat the estimate by 25.25% while the stock rose 6.77%. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $6.74 this fiscal year (growth of 60.4%) and $9.18 the year after (growth of 36.3%).
Normal swings for VRT run at about 3.35% a day. The P/E of 51.75, 52.2% above the sector median, puts VRT at a premium to peers, so weaker results would meet a higher bar. Until the price regains its moving averages, the trend works against holders. The price is 45.67% below its 52-week high of $379.94.

CleaRank AI analysis of VRT
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Vertiv Holdings Co (VRT) is in a downtrend: the price of $206.42 sits 23.07% below its 200-day average of $268.30 and 19.20% below its 50-day average of $255.46. Near the bottom of its 52-week range, the stock is 39.64% above the low of $147.82 and 45.67% below the high of $379.94. The 50-day average is 4.79% below the 200-day, a configuration that backs up the weakness instead of offsetting it.
The 14-day RSI of 27.3 is in oversold territory, and the MACD line is negative. A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 13.78% over the past month, fell 28.71% over the past three months and rose 16.08% over the past year.

- Keep an eye on the two closest levels: the 20-day EMA at $238.92, which sits above the price, and the 52-week low at $147.82, which sits below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 27.3 lands in the oversold zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- Following the July 29, 2026 report, the share price went up 2.00% in the first session, and VRT has beaten estimates in 8 of its last 8 reports.
VRT sits below both its 50-day average of $255.46 and its 200-day average of $268.30, which is why the trend reads down. A move back above the 50-day would be the first sign of repair. The closest level overhead is the 20-day EMA at $238.92.
Below the price, the next level is the 52-week low of $147.82. The RSI is under the oversold line, so momentum has been heavily sold; a move back above that line would be a first hint that the decline is levelling off.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in VRT, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in VRT today could grow to about $30,620 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $232,303 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $4,036. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.12% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
VRT Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $323 for VRT by 2030 in the base case, from $206 today (1.6x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $89.65. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on VRT's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $122 | $231 | $438 | |
| 2028 | $104 | $258 | $639 | |
| 2029 | $95.18 | $289 | $876 | |
| 2030 | $89.65 | $323 | $1,163 | |
| 2031 | $86.19 | $361 | $1,514 |
Method: a lognormal simulation of VRT's own volatility and capped historical trend, re-run daily; base case is the median path, the outer columns the 10th and 90th percentiles. VRT is highly volatile, so its upside column reaches an extreme multiple; treat it as a statistical tail, not an expectation.
