Vertiv has introduced the Vertiv SmartIT solution, a pre-engineered architecture based on NVIDIA MGX and OCP ORV3 that integrates rack infrastructure, power conversion, direct-to-chip liquid cooling and monitoring in a factory-validated design. Factory validation reduces on-site integration work, and the solution is available now for AI deployments globally. It can be used in existing facilities, new builds, colocation and hyperscale environments without redesign, and it scales from a single rack to multi-rack deployments. Vertiv previously deployed SmartIT with NVIDIA to support the DGX GB300 and showed a demo unit with the HGX Rubin NVL8 at NVIDIA GTC Berlin in October.

- What Is Vertiv Holdings Co (VRT) Really Changing With 14 Day AI Factory Builds?
Vertiv and NVIDIA launched DSX POD, a modular AI factory reference design targeting 14-day deployment cycles, compared with the traditional 6-month timeline for AI builds. DSX POD uses pre-engineered power and cooling modules along with advanced virtualization. Vertiv is running a multiphase DSX POD implementation in Norway and partnering with Dassault Systèmes to design and validate AI factories virtually. Installations are anticipated to begin in early 2027.
- Vertiv Targets Up to 30% More Cumulative AI Token Output in First 12 Months Using NVIDIA DSX, Polar Deploys Approach at Norway Site
Vertiv and NVIDIA introduced an AI factory approach that pairs rapid configuration and virtual validation of pre-engineered reference designs with factory-built deployment, targeting up to 30% more cumulative token output within 12 months with the same installed capacity under defined assumptions. In the modeled scenario, time from requirements to a validated AI factory design drops from about 30 days to three days, and infrastructure deployment falls from about 90 days to 45 days. Combined, these stages shrink from about 120 days to 48 days, making productive AI capacity available roughly 10 weeks sooner. Polar Data Centers is applying the model to the first 41 MW phase of its AI data center at Herøya, Norway, scalable to 100 MW, using Vertiv prefabricated power and thermal modules, SmartRun overhead infrastructure and SmartMod.
- Make or Break for VRT on Oct. 28: Proving the ‘AI Factory’ Thesis Amid a Brutal Valuation Reset.
Vertiv (VRT) reports third-quarter results on Oct. 28, with the stock down 39% from its recent peak despite five straight EPS beats and a 21.89% drop over the past month to $194.31. In the second quarter, adjusted EPS rose 60% to $1.52 and revenue climbed 24.1% to $3.27 billion, but organic growth slowed to 18%, which management attributed to supply chain congestion and the timing of phased projects. Management raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $6.65 to $6.75, and guidance calls for organic growth of about 35%, while consensus EPS stands just above the $1.80 guidance midpoint. The key questions are whether delayed AI projects have shipped and whether new capacity came online on schedule, with 2027 orders also seen as critical. The article argues that if shipment timing shifts again, the valuation reset could keep going.
- Vertiv, Nvidia target 10-week cut in AI power, cooling setup
- Dassault Systèmes and Vertiv Team to Accelerate AI Factory Design and Deployment
Dassault Systèmes (DSY.PA) and Vertiv (VRT) announced a collaboration to configure, simulate and validate AI factory infrastructure before construction begins, combining the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with Vertiv's digital infrastructure expertise. The model-based approach builds on the Vertiv SmartRun virtual twin and extends to Vertiv OneCore, targeting NVIDIA Vera Rubin DSX AI Factory reference designs. Targeted customer outcomes include reaching a validated AI factory solution up to 10x faster and cutting the defined infrastructure deployment period by up to 50%. In Vertiv's model, the approach could bring capacity online about 10 weeks sooner than a conventional baseline and produce up to 30% more cumulative token output within 12 months, though this gain stems only from earlier facility readiness, not a measured customer result.
- Where Will Vertiv Stock Be in 1 Year ? | The Motley Fool
Vertiv (VRT), a supplier of cooling and power systems for data centers, hit a record $376.06 on May 14 on AI-driven demand, but now trades near $211. Its revenue rose from $5.0 billion in 2021 to $10.2 billion in 2025, and adjusted EPS from $0.76 to $4.20, with a $15 billion backlog at the end of Q2 2026. For 2026, it expects revenue to grow 37% to $14 billion and adjusted EPS to rise 60%, and the stock trades at 31 times that estimate. The pullback reflects a slight miss on Q2 revenue estimates, a $1.45 billion cash acquisition of UtilityInnovation Group that may pressure near-term margins, and rising interest rates that compressed valuations of high-growth AI stocks. If Vertiv meets analyst expectations and trades at 30 times earnings by next October, the article estimates its stock could rise about 30% to $276, still below its record high.

- Vanguard's Growth ETF Usually Beats the Market After a Lagging Year. I'd Own It, but Not for a 2027 Rebound.
The Vanguard Morningstar Growth ETF (VUG) hit a record of $92.64 on Oct. 6 but has since fallen about 6% to roughly $87, while the S&P 500 is down less than 3% over the same period. The fund is up about 7% in 2026 versus about 11% for the index, and if the gap holds through December, it would be the first year since 2022 that it trails the S&P 500 on price alone. The fund holds a large share of its assets in its top 10 stocks, many of them tech companies, and several, including Tesla (down about 17%), are lagging this year. Rising interest rates also weigh on growth stocks, since their value depends on profits expected far in the future. The author notes the fund has beaten the S&P 500 in 16 of 21 years from 2005 to 2025, but says he would not rely on 2027 to erase this year's gap.
- Joby Aviation Stock Just Hit a 52-Week Low. History Says This Happens Next
Joby Aviation (JOBY) has fallen from about $13 at the start of 2026 to below $5, hovering near its 52-week low of about $4.40. Its first-ever coast-to-coast autonomous flight and its plan to acquire Resonant Sciences have done little to lift the shares this year, and the decline of similar stock Archer Aviation suggests waning enthusiasm for eVTOL companies. The article notes that past downturns were followed by sharp rebounds, such as in 2025, when a $250 million Toyota investment and other news pushed the stock above $10 and up to around $20 before valuation concerns pulled it back. The author argues investors now want to see actual bookings rather than announcements, and that a milestone such as FAA type certification could push the stock back into double digits. He says the stock may be worth a look for aggressive investors who can tolerate volatility.
- Stock Market Today, Oct. 26: AI Optimism Lifts Nasdaq as Tech Stocks Rebound
The S&P 500 gained 0.70% to 7,677, the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.82% to 26,169, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.28% to 52,362 as AI optimism returned and oil prices fell. Gold rose 0.46% to $4,026.30 and the 10-Year Treasury yield rose 0.04% to 5%, with investors favoring Real Estate and Technology while Communication Services faced selling pressure. Anthropic filed its S-1 to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker "ANT," and its strong revenue growth figures eased fears that the AI boom was losing steam, helping revive tech stocks. Tesla rose over 5% after Barclays upgraded the stock to Overweight and raised its price target from $370 to $450, while Meta fell about 2% after disclosing plans to raise up to $95 billion for AI infrastructure. Investors are now looking ahead to Microsoft's earnings and the Federal Reserve's rate decision this week.
- Anthropic's IPO puts power in the hands of founders, giving everyday shareholders little voice
Anthropic’s IPO prospectus gives its seven co-founders control through “Founder LLC,” which will hold 50.1% of voting power and determine the outcome of all stockholder votes for the foreseeable future. The filing says this may limit investor influence and make unsolicited mergers or proxy contests less likely. The Long-Term Benefit Trust, set up in 2023, can elect and remove a board majority through a special class of Class T common stock. Anthropic is a “controlled company” under Nasdaq rules and plans to list under the ticker “ANT,” and its filing includes more than 90 pages of risk factors. Bessemer Venture Partners, which backed the company at a $14 billion valuation, said investors are often comfortable with founder-led governance when leadership is strong.
- US OCC calls on community banks to become payment stablecoin issuers
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has encouraged community banks to apply to become payment stablecoin issuers, or to have subsidiaries do so, after finalizing its rules under the GENIUS Act. In a Monday X post, the OCC encouraged building payment stablecoin capabilities in community banking before the law takes effect in January, a move that could challenge the market share of crypto firms and financial institutions. Banking advocacy groups have pushed back on the OCC’s proposed stablecoin yield rules, saying they go against congressional intent. Community banks are already suing the OCC over crypto charter approvals, and the Independent Community Bankers of America filed a lawsuit this month alleging crypto firms face lighter regulatory requirements.
- Will Palantir Technologies Stock Hit $300 Before the End of 2026?
Anthropic's IPO could value the company at over $2 trillion, above the valuation SpaceX reached when it went public earlier this year, which may draw investor attention to AI stocks. Palantir CEO Alex Karp has called frontier AI labs like Anthropic too risky, and the article suggests investors may find Palantir, valued below $500 billion, a more favorable AI stock. The stock trades near $200, close to its 52-week high; in its last quarter, revenue grew 93% to $1.9 billion and operating income was 47% of revenue, with third-quarter results expected next week. The author estimates that reaching $300 would require a market cap above $700 billion, about a 50% rise, which seems unlikely in a short period given the stock trades above 170 times earnings. In the author's view, at its current valuation the downside risk looks greater than the upside potential.
