“AI液冷龙头”Vertiv财报全面超预期，摩根大通：尽管涨幅巨大，但数据中心需求已从“光速”向“荒谬”加速，估值仍然合理

Group 1 - Vertiv's third-quarter orders increased by approximately 60% year-on-year, leading to a record backlog of $9.5 billion [2][4] - Morgan Stanley raised Vertiv's target price to $230, citing AI-driven data center demand accelerating from "light speed" to "ludicrous speed" [2][4] - The company's sales reached $2.676 billion, a year-on-year increase of about 28%, exceeding the upper limit of company guidance [4][6] Group 2 - Analysts believe that despite a significant rise in Vertiv's stock price this year, the risk-reward profile remains attractive [6][8] - The substantial backlog provides a solid foundation for future performance, with Morgan Stanley's model showing earnings per share (EPS) forecasts for 2026 and 2027 being 15-20% higher than market consensus [6][7] - In a favorable scenario, the EPS for 2027 could reach $9, which is 30-50% higher than current market consensus [7] Group 3 - Vertiv's stock has performed well over the past year, with its valuation at a relatively high level within the industry [8] - Morgan Stanley argues that this premium is justified, as the company's growth prospects remain strong [8][9] - The report indicates that the market consensus may still underestimate Vertiv's growth potential, with projected P/E ratios for 2026/2027 being 31x/25x, lower than the market consensus of 36x/31x [9]
