<p class="has-drop-cap">Vertiv Holdings Co. (NYSE: VRT) reported net sales of $1.865 billion in <a aria-label="Q4 (opens in a new tab)" href="https://investors.vertiv.com/financial-news/news-details/2024/Vertiv-Reports-Strong-Fourth-Quarter-Results-and-Provides-Full-Year-2024-Outlook/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">Q4</a>, marking a 13% increase year-over-year, excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. This growth stems from a strong book-to-bill ratio of 1.3x and a 23% increase in organic orders from the previous year’s quarter.</p> 
<p>Operating profit saw a notable rise to $285 million, up $123 million, with adjusted operating profit reaching $330 million, a 57% increase from the fourth quarter of 2022. This improvement was driven by enhanced commercial execution, higher volume, and productivity, albeit partially offset by research and development (R&amp;D) investments and capacity expansion. Five hundred basis points also widened the adjusted operating margin to 17.7%​​.</p>

<p>Analysts had anticipated earnings per share (<a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">EPS</a>) of $0.53 and revenue of $1.88 billion, positions that Vertiv surpassed with an adjusted EPS of $0.56 and a slight miss on the revenue front. However, the company’s overall performance and growth trajectory compensated for the marginal revenue discrepancy.</p>

<p>Looking forward, Vertiv has laid out a positive and ambitious guidance for 2024, driven by the accelerating trends in the data center market and the increasing demand for critical digital infrastructure, particularly to support <a href="https://tokenist.com/3-ai-stocks-that-nvidia-nvda-is-buying/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">AI deployment</a> at scale.</p> 
<p>The company is ramping up growth opportunities through its extensive experience, leadership technology, and comprehensive portfolio. For the first quarter of 2024, Vertiv anticipates net sales to be between $1.575 billion and $1.625 billion, with adjusted operating profit expected to be in the range of $200 million to $220 million. The full-year 2024 guidance projects net sales between $7.515 billion and $7.655 billion</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
