VRT is trading with the trend behind it, which is what pushes the technical read bullish. Earnings and guidance carry more weight than macro data at this capitalisation.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into VRT?

CHEAP

At today's price, Vertiv Holdings, LLC needs to grow free cash flow about 54.9% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 15.36% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 73.7% a year, so the market is asking for 18.8 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis VRT looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

Up days (1y)
51%

Vertiv Holdings, LLC is currently running 38.3% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against VRT's own 8 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 32nd percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 49.7%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

VRT is trading -41.1% below its running peak. Across 7 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -37.5%, and the deepest was -66.3% in 2022. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -16.9% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 11th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year VRT closed higher on 51% of sessions, and it is currently 7 sessions into a falling streak.

On October specifically: over 9 years of records, VRT finished the month higher 6 of 9 times, with a median return of +1.3% and an average of +5.9%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +11.2% on average, its weakest March at -3.9%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: VRT has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 267 of 2,042 sessions (13.1% of the time), with the largest gaps running +13.6% and -10.7%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

All figures computed from 2,043 daily closes between 2018-07-30 and 2026-10-14, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against VRT's own 8-year history, not a peer group or index.
