Vertiv Stock Plummets 11% Amid AI Sector Sell-Off, Trading Volume Surges to 31st Rank

On March 26, 2025, Vertiv's trading volume reached 15.63 billion, marking a 149.73% increase from the previous day, placing it 31st in the day's stock market rankings. Vertiv's stock price fell by 10.88%, marking the second consecutive day of decline, with a total decrease of 12.88% over the past two days.

Vertiv Holdings, a data center equipment manufacturer, experienced a significant drop in its stock price, tumbling more than 11% by 3 p.m. today. This decline followed a broader sell-off in the AI and data center sectors, triggered by the U.S. government's decision to ban 80 companies, many of which are based in China, from accessing certain technologies.

TD Cowen's report highlighted that slower data center equipment purchasing is seen as a negative for the company. This report contributed to the stock's decline, as investors became concerned about the potential impact on Vertiv's revenue and earnings.

Barclays analysts also cut their price target for Vertiv, which further exacerbated the stock's decline. The reduction in the price target reflects the analysts' concerns about the company's future prospects in the face of slower data center equipment purchasing and the broader sell-off in the sector.
