Vertiv reported third-quarter sales growth of 61% year over year, driven by strength across all regions, and management raised its full-year revenue and earnings per share guidance. The shares were up 17% in Oct. 28 trading.

Spending on data centers has become more volatile and less predictable. Estimating Vertiv’s growth is therefore a highly error-prone exercise.
