Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:VRT) is one of the best stocks to buy for next-gen data centers. On May 6, Hut 8 said its 1 GW Beacon Point AI data center campus in Texas would move ahead with a 15-year lease covering 352 MW of IT capacity, with Vertiv named as one of the Tier 1 counterparties supporting the delivery model alongside American Electric Power and Jacobs. Hut 8 said the site will be designed around NVIDIA’s DSX reference architecture for gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure, placing Vertiv inside a large AI factory project rather than a generic data-center buildout.

Vertiv’s own recent updates also support the theme. On April 27, the company acquired Strategic Thermal Labs, a specialist in advanced liquid-cooling technologies, to strengthen its engineering capability around cold-plate design, server-side liquid cooling, and high-density thermal validation for AI and high-performance computing workloads. On April 22, Vertiv reported Q1 2026 net sales of $2.65 billion, up 30% year over year, and said the Americas region grew 44% organically, driven by strong data-center demand.

Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:VRT) provides critical digital infrastructure products and services, including power management, thermal management, racks, monitoring systems, and lifecycle services for data centers and other mission-critical facilities.

While we acknowledge the potential of VRT as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
