Vertiv reports Q2 2026 earnings with 53% EPS growth, raises full-year guidance again

Vertiv shares crash 14% in pre-market after Q2 revenue misses estimates

Vertiv's Q2 revenue of $3.27B (+24% YoY) missed estimates of $3.38B, sending shares down 14% despite beating EPS guidance ($1.52 vs $1.43). Phased AI data centre buildouts create quarterly timing volatility for power/cooling vendors—a capex planning risk factor for infrastructure decision-makers.
