AI demand remains the central theme

At the Baird 2026 Global Industrial Conference on Tuesday, November 10, Vertiv management said demand for AI infrastructure remains strong across hyperscalers, enterprises and AI laboratories. The company also said traditional cloud computing continues to contribute to demand.

A Reuters transcript published by Investing.com said management is balancing additional capacity with quality and efficiency. The discussion also highlighted prefabricated infrastructure, liquid cooling and Vertiv's UtilityInnovation Group acquisition as parts of its broader power and data-center offering.

Longer-dated power roadmap

Chief Executive Gio Albertazzi said hybrid systems that convert power near the IT load are expected to begin appearing in the second half of 2027. Fully integrated native 800 VDC systems are expected from the second half of 2028. Management presented the architecture as a spectrum, with conventional low-voltage AC remaining relevant for flexible colocation facilities.
