- What they said
- Vertiv reported a strong Q2 2026 with broad-based revenue growth, margin expansion, and exceptional free cash flow. Net sales of $3.274B were up 24% year-over-year (18% organic), adjusted operating margin expanded to 22.6%, adjusted operating profit rose to $738M (+51% YoY), adjusted diluted EPS was $1.52 (+60% YoY), and adjusted free cash flow was $925M (+234% YoY) with free cash flow conversion >150%. Management highlighted accelerating pipeline momentum across regions and customer types, continued investments in capacity and R&D, and recent acquisitions (Thermo King, Thermal-Lube) to strengthen thermal management capabilities. Management raised full-year guidance across key metrics and emphasized operational improvements, backlog coverage, and disciplined M&A as strategic priorities. The Q&A focused on supply-chain and large-project execution complexity, deferred revenue/progress collections, vertical integration, and technology roadmaps (including 800V DC and solid-state transformer development). Overall tone was confident and constructive, with management acknowledging execution complexity but stressing progress on a learning curve and prudence built into H2 guidance.
- Guidance
- Management raised full-year 2026 guidance across key metrics: Net sales increased to $14.0 billion (an upward $250M revision), adjusted diluted EPS to $6.70 (approximately +60% vs 2025), adjusted operating profit (AOP) expected to be ~60% higher year-over-year, and adjusted free cash flow guidance raised to $2.5 billion. Management also noted net cash position at quarter end and said H2 guidance includes prudence for potential execution/supply-chain variability.
- Risks flagged
- Management cited increased complexity and interdependencies in large/project-based deployments (internal and external supply chain), supply-chain congestion and timing shifts that can push revenue between quarters, tariff impacts, potential congestion persisting into H2, and general forward-looking statement risks outlined in SEC filings. They also noted that some project milestones and deferred revenue dynamics can cause timing variability. No material new macro guidance reductions were provided.
