VRT: Chart and Business in Divergence
The business held. The chart did not. · Working read
VRT's chart has taken back some of its gains, despite the business showing strong growth and profitability.
The chart for VRT is 32% below its 52-week high and has underperformed the market over the past 3 to 6 months. In contrast, the business is showing strong signs of growth, with revenue expected to grow about 30% a year and profits having grown 164% over the past year. The company's ability to turn most of its profit into real cash and maintain a healthy profit margin is a testament to its pricing power.
The chart and business of VRT are in disagreement, with the chart showing a decline and the business showing strong growth.
The stock is vulnerable if data center construction plans are cut or stretched out, given its leveraged bet on someone else's capex budget, and governance concerns have been raised due to unusually heavy withhold votes at the annual meeting.
The market took back the speculation, but it cannot take back the scarcity of a business that is growing and generating real cash.
