In Q4, the company posted revenues of $1.87 billion, a gain of 13% year-over-year. Still, this fell short of Street estimates of $1.88 billion. On the other hand, the firm reported earnings of $0.60 per share compared to $0.07 per share in the same period last year, which exceeded consensus estimates of $0.53 per share.

Is VRT a Good Stock to Buy?

Analysts remain bullish about VRT with a Strong Buy consensus rating based on five Buys and one Hold. Over the past year, VRT stock has skyrocketed by more than 300%, and the average VRT price target of $58.60 implies a downside potential of 5.5% at current levels.
