S in data center equipment company Vertiv (VRT 2. 82%) surged by 19% in June, according to data vided by S&P Global Market Intelligence
The move comes as the market's concerns over a slowdown in data center capital spending have been assuaged by positive news flow from companies Vertiv's partner, data center architecture company Nvidia (NVDA 1
The bulls and bears debate AI/data center spending No one s piling into the market at the top of a bull market, especially not in the nology sector, where the cyclicality of boom and bust seems to prevail
For the bears, the boom in data center and artificial intelligence (AI)-related spending is set for a natural correction
Additionally, the uncertainty created by the tariff conflict is perceived as potentially causing a pause in spending on data centers
For the bulls, spending on data centers is still in its early innings
In addition, the need for data center capacity to catch up with the demand trend in AI application-related spending will boost spending for many years to come
In terms of Vertiv, the bears will point to the company's flat year-over-year order book in the fourth quarter of 2024 as an early indication of stress down the line
Meanwhile, the bulls will point to the fact that Vertiv raised its full-year 2025 sales guidance to a range of $9. 325 billion to $9. 575 billion, compared to a prior range of $9. 125 billion to $9. 275 billion, as announced in the company's first-quarter earnings presentations in April
What changed in June To stay informed developments in the data center and AI market, it's a good idea to the perspectives of hyperscalers and market service viders, as well as examine anecdotal statements and trading conditions

In addition, Nvidia's first-quarter 2026 earnings report and management ary indicated that underlying growth in the market is excellent
For example, Nvidia's data center-related revenue rose by 73% year over year in the first quarter of 2026
Moreover, it's essential to note that while companies Nvidia are subject to export control regulations on their nology sales to China, Vertiv's power, cooling, and infrastructure solutions for data centers don't face the same kind of restrictions
In fact, the major blem Vertiv faces from the tariff conflict is rising costs associated with ducts sourced from Mexico and China, areas where management is already rebalancing to mitigate risk
All told, the confirmation of growth in Vertiv's end was a positive for the stock in June, and it remains a great way to play the data center spending boom
