AI Summary
VRT remains a strong AI-infrastructure beneficiary with raised guidance and 30%+ revenue growth, but the investment case has shifted to a prove-it story where premium valuation, margin discipline, and execution on acquisitions/capacity must holdâor the recent downtrend and 289â291 support could break before the stock re-rates above 306/318.
