Jim Cramer cites margin-driven selling in VRT as temporary, suggesting a lower entry point despite a 30% revenue rise and $15B backlog.
Jim Cramer recommended investors wait before purchasing Vertiv (VRT) amid an 11.88% monthly decline, attributing the selloff to margin calls rather than fundamental weakness. The company reported a Q1 EPS beat by 16 cents and 30% revenue growth, with a $15B backlog up 109% year over year.
Vertiv opened at $289.56 on July 20, 2026, down 9.19% over the prior five sessions. Cramer noted speculative selling pressure but indicated a bottom was near, though not yet reached. The stock remains 8.82% below its recent highs.
Cramer’s advice contrasts with Vertiv’s strong operational performance, emphasizing technical factors over fundamentals for near-term price action.
