  • Starboard had discussions with Vertiv's leadership and appears to support its focus on improving profitability under Chair David Cote and Giordano Albertazzi, who will take over as CEO in 2023.

  • Vertiv, previously a division of Emerson Electric Company  (NYSE: EMR), went public in 2020 via a merger with a SPAC backed by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and led by Cote.

  • Vertiv's shares had fallen 54% this year through October 19 amid a pullback in spending for data centers, higher costs, and lingering supply chain issues.

  • In October, Vertiv cut its profit forecast for the fourth quarter, primarily due to foreign exchange headwinds.

  • The company revised its Q4 adjusted operating profit guidance to $220 million - $240 million, down $22.5 million at the mid-point of the prior range.

  • Price Action: VRT shares traded higher by 15.50% at $13.17 on the last check Thursday.
