Vertiv, which provides power and cooling solutions to datacenters, reported another great quarter — thanks to the growing demand for AI data centers.

Last quarter, the company reported 63% profit growth and crushed estimates of 30%. Revenue grew 29%. Orders were up 60% year-over-year, and the company now has a record backlog up 28% year-over-year — meaning plenty of work ahead.
