    Vertiv reports 24% revenue growth as AI data centers adopt liquid cooling

    Question

    Vertiv reports 24% revenue growth as AI data centers adopt liquid cooling

    Direct answer

    Adoption of direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems expands Vertiv backlog while establishing critical thermal envelope limits for NVDA and partner server architectures. — bullish pressure on VRT via order backlog expansion from data center thermal infrastructure demand.
