Vertiv 'A'

US indices rose only slightly, while AI-driven stocks climbed sharply. Vertiv reported a strong, growth-driven third quarter and raised its full-year guidance. Amphenol also impressed with Q3 results, partly driven by the consolidation of CommScope, and Oracle jumped about ten percent after remarks at its investor day. By contrast, Boston Scientific had to announce its third guidance cut of the year and fell to a multi-year low. » More on deraktionaer.de

Vertiv reported Q3 revenue of $4.31 billion, up 61% year-on-year (55% organically), beating analyst expectations; adjusted EPS was $2.21. The company raised its full-year guidance to $14.45–14.85 billion and increased the adjusted margin to 25.2%. Inventories ($3.29 billion) and customer deposits ($4.12 billion) rose sharply, tying up capital and dampening free cash flow. Order dynamics point to continued investments by large cloud and AI providers such as Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon, but also increase risk for suppliers if those customers cut back spending. » More on finanzen.net
