Vertiv Holdings (VRT) Stock Is Trending After Hours: Here's Why

Benzinga · 1d ago

Vertiv Holdings Co. (NYSE:VRT) shares are trending on Friday.

Shares of the Ohio-based critical digital infrastructure provider rose 3.36% to $216.69 in after-hours trading on Thursday, following the company’s launch of a new medium-voltage power system aimed at AI data centers.

New Product Targets Grid Delays and Space Limits

On Thursday, Vertiv introduced the PowerNexus MV UPS, an outdoor-rated, medium voltage system, for colocation, neocloud and hyperscale operators. Grid queues and limited indoor space can delay deployment and revenue.

Kyle Keeper, senior vice president of Vertiv’s power management business unit, said, "The Vertiv PowerNexus MV UPS is designed as a system-level response to those challenges, combining medium-voltage power protection, fault ride-through and AI power smoothing."

He added that the outdoor system is also designed to work with long-duration energy storage, allowing operators to focus on deploying computing capacity rather than managing complex infrastructure.

According to the company, the system is designed to provide up to 98.5% peak operating efficiency and up to four hours of battery-backed operation when paired with long-duration batteries, which can reduce reliance on diesel generators. Shipments are expected to begin in mid-2027.

Customer Tests Support the Launch

Vertiv said QTS, SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:SFTBY) and Rosendin completed proof-of-concept testing at its Bologna, Italy, R&D center. The company reported stable performance across 0–100% loads and ride-through of a 100% voltage sag lasting 150 milliseconds.

Ryan Kuithe, senior vice president of facilities operations at QTS, said, "During proof-of-concept testing at Vertiv’s Global Power R&D and Customer Experience Center, we validated the system’s ability to maintain stable power through dynamic load changes and voltage disturbances."
