- Management said AI demand remains strong across hyperscalers, enterprises and AI laboratories.
- The UtilityInnovation Group acquisition is intended to improve Vertiv's visibility into land, power and grid planning.
- Vertiv is shifting more data-center work toward factory-based production while focusing on quality and efficiency.
- Management expects hybrid 800 VDC deployments in the second half of 2027 and native systems in the second half of 2028.
Vertiv management used the Baird 2026 Global Industrial Conference on Tuesday, November 10, to reinforce the growth case for AI infrastructure while highlighting the challenge of scaling production without sacrificing quality or efficiency. The company also outlined a longer-term path toward higher-voltage power systems.
According to Reuters, carried by Investing.com, Chief Executive Giordano Albertazzi said demand for AI and conventional cloud computing remains resilient across hyperscalers, enterprise customers and AI laboratories. Management said the pipeline is growing globally rather than only in North America.
Power roadmap adds a longer-term catalyst
Vertiv expects hybrid infrastructure that converts to 800 VDC near the IT load to begin appearing in the second half of 2027. Native end-to-end 800 VDC systems are expected from the second half of 2028, with the mix depending on the use case. Traditional low-voltage AC systems are expected to remain relevant for flexible, long-life colocation facilities.
Management also described the UtilityInnovation Group acquisition as a way to engage earlier in customer planning around land, power generation and grid orchestration. That positioning could improve pipeline visibility and expand Vertiv's role in behind-the-meter power systems.
Capacity remains the execution test
The conference discussion followed Vertiv's strong third quarter and raised 2026 outlook. Management said the company is moving more modular and prefabricated work from project-style operations toward factory-based production, supported by additional capacity, safety stock, quality controls and tighter feedback from field commissioning.
