CONFIDENCE

ℹ️ How are these calculated?

COMPOSITE = Σ(event relevance × event probability) × entry quality / 100. Combines how much this stock benefits from macro events with how good the entry point is right now. For VRT: (90 × 85% + 0 × 60% + 0 × 35% + -5 × 55% + -20 × 0% + 35 × 0% + 0 × 0%) × 42/100 = 31. Higher is better. Range: typically 0–100.

BULL UPSIDE = (bull price target − current price) / current price. For VRT: ($300 − $237) / $237 = +27%. This is the maximum upside if the most optimistic analyst thesis plays out.

ENTRY QUALITY (0–100) = how attractive the current price is as a buy point. Based on: % below all-time high (-7%), upside to bull PT (+27%), forward PE (30x vs sector), and analyst conviction. Score: 42. Fair entry — modest discount or near-term headwinds.

CONFIDENCE = our overall conviction in the thesis (0–100%). Factors: strength of catalysts, analyst coverage quality, thesis durability, risk/reward skew.High conviction — strong catalysts and clear thesis.

🎯 Investment Thesis

Vertiv is the single largest pure-play on data center infrastructure and just proved it — Q4 2025 beat with record growth, CEO expects "momentum to continue in 2026." Stock surged 18% on earnings day. 80%+ revenue from DC end markets with expanding backlog. Barclays upgraded to Overweight. This is the benchmark DC infrastructure name that Modine and nVent aspire to be.

⚠️ Key Risk

At $237, trading near new ATH ($250) after post-earnings surge. 36x forward PE is rich for an industrial. Stock now trades ABOVE most pre-earnings analyst PTs ($200-225) — needs PT raises to justify current levels. Jensen Huang CES comment about next-gen chips reducing cooling needs is a long-term headwind. Wolfe Research downgraded to Peer Perform.
