Jim Cramer on Vertiv: “You Buy Half and Then You Wait for a Decline”

Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:VRT) was among the stocks on Jim Cramer’s radar as he highlighted the importance of lower interest rates in sustaining the broader market rally. During the lightning round, a caller inquired about the stock, and in response, Cramer said:

Okay, here’s what I want you to do with Vertiv. I think they’ve got great orders. I think if you want to put a position on, you buy half and then you wait for a decline. If it doesn’t decline, that’s too bad because the stock is just, it is just a tiger right now, and I don’t want you to get burned.

Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE:VRT) designs, manufactures, and manages power and cooling systems for data centers and digital networks. The company also provides services to keep these systems running smoothly and efficiently. Cramer discussed the company’s latest quarterly results during the April 22 episode, as he remarked:

This morning, we got a great quarter again from Vertiv Holdings, which makes crucial power and cooling equipment for the data center, of course. Yet the stock actually got dinged a little. Look, I think that was purely because it came in too hot. Even after this pullback, the stock’s up 88% year to date. I hope you have some of these kinds of stocks.

Quarter was phenomenal. Vertiv delivered a 17-cent earnings beat off a dollar basis. That’s up 83% year over year. Revenue came in higher than expected. Their operating margin expanded by a staggering 430 basis points. Even better, management raised their full year sales and earnings forecast. They’re now talking about 29 to 31% organic revenue growth this year. Problem is the stock had already made a monster move higher, but Vertiv keeps making smart acquisitions to expand its place in the data center.
