Backlog climbed 21% year over year to $8.5B.
NVIDIA and Oklo deals boost Vertiv's AI leadership.
Vertiv (VRT - Free Report) is benefiting from a rapidly expanding client base, driven by strong demand for data center infrastructure and AI-related solutions. Collaborations with CoreWeave and Oklo strengthened Vertiv’s technology leadership, positioning the company well for long-term growth in the evolving data center market.
In the trailing 12 months, organic orders grew approximately 11%, with a book-to-bill of 1.2 times for the second quarter of 2025, indicating a strong prospect. Backlog grew 7% sequentially and 21% year over year to $8.5 billion. In the second quarter, Vertiv achieved a milestone by surpassing $3 billion in orders, reflecting strong demand and growing customer trust in its solutions.
As the demand for efficient energy use in data centers is rising, Vertiv’s role has become increasingly vital, with innovation and strategic partnerships serving as key catalysts for driving the future of sustainable data center solutions.
In July 2025, Vertiv announced a collaboration with Oklo to co-develop advanced power and thermal management solutions for data centers powered by Oklo’s advanced nuclear power plants.
Vertiv’s partnership with NVIDIA is a plus. It aims to stay one generation ahead of NVIDIA, enabling efficient and scalable power solutions for next-generation AI data centers. Vertiv also confirmed its alignment with NVIDIA’s AI roadmap to deploy 800 VDC power architectures ahead of NVIDIA Kyber and Rubin Ultra platforms.
VRT Suffers From Stiff Competition
Vertiv’s AI infrastructure solutions are facing increasing competition from Super Micro Computer (SMCI - Free Report) and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE - Free Report) , both of which are expanding their capabilities to serve hyperscale and enterprise AI data center deployments.
Super Micro is well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for AI infrastructure. In August 2025, Super Micro Computer announced that Lambda had deployed Supermicro GPU-optimized servers with NVIDIA Blackwell systems to expand its AI infrastructure, enabling large-scale AI factories for training and inference with improved efficiency and sustainability.
Hewlett-Packard Enterprises’ partnership with NVIDIA has been noteworthy. Hewlett-Packard Enterprise extended its partnership with NVIDIA to build an enterprise computing solution that will help organizations adopt generative AI applications faster. The solution will be built with a full-stack AI tuning and inference solution from the two companies. This will remove the complexities of developing and deploying generative AI infrastructure for organizations.
