Cash and short-term investments rose to $3.71 billion from $1.94 billion, while debt edged up to $3.36 billion from $3.21 billion. Operations generated $3.67 billion of cash over twelve months, up from $1.53 billion. Third-quarter revenue grew 61.2% to $4.31 billion.

The upfront price alone would leave net debt near $1.1 billion. The fourth-quarter report, expected in February 2027, will show where the balance sheet stands.

Vertiv reported third quarter net sales of $4,313 million, an increase of $1,637 million, or 61%, compared to third quarter 2025, reflecting 55% organic sales growth and approximately 6% contribution from acquisitions.
