Baron Funds, an investment management company, released its Q4 2024 investor letter. Here is what the fund said:

“Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:VRT), a critical digital infrastructure solutions provider for data centers, continued to perform well. With a leading market share in power and cooling applications for data centers, Vertiv is seen as a prime beneficiary of the AI-related data center buildout. At its November Analyst Day, Vertiv raised organic sales guidance to 12% to 14% CAGR for the next five years and gave guidance of 16% to 18% organic revenue growth for 2025. Vertiv also increased its target adjusted operating profit margin from 20% to 25%. While impressive on their own, these forecasts can prove conservative we think. With the stock up 141% in 2024, we have been trimming the stock into strength to manage position size but hold a large stake as we believe in its growth and that the stock is reasonably valued even after great appreciation the last two years.”
