Analysts React to Impact on Vertiv from AWS' Potential Cooling Tech
Citi analyst Andrew Kaplowitz backed his bullish thesis on Vertiv stock. The 5-star analyst stated that the liquid cooling market remains highly fluid, with AWS announcing its new P6e-GB200 Ultra Servers equipped with liquid cooling infrastructure. However, Kaplowitz thinks that it remains unclear to what extent AWS is producing liquid cooling components in-house versus partnering with suppliers. While Kaplowitz acknowledges investor concerns around the end market dynamics, he views the decline in Vertiv and nVent Electric (NVT) stocks as 'overdone.' Kaplowitz has a Buy rating on Vertiv stock with a price target of $130.
Kaplowitz expects strong prior orders to support good near-term visibility for both Vertiv and nVent. The analyst believes that VRT's competitive advantages, including a market-leading portfolio in power and thermal management, as well as strong relationships with chip manufacturers, remain intact. While he expects such announcements to be made periodically due to the nascent nature of the liquid cooling market, he believes VRT remains poised to be a primary beneficiary of the expected liquid cooling ramp and views the pullback in the stock as a buying opportunity. He highlighted that VRT estimates the liquid cooling market growing from about 15% of the thermal market to 30% by 2027.
Further, RBC Capital analyst Deane Dray, who also has a Buy rating on VRT stock, does not see original equipment electrical manufacturers like Vertiv and nVent Electric being 'disintermediated' following AWS' blog on its new tech. The 5-star analyst contends that this is not 'new news,' as AWS posted on June 11 that it was close to launching its custom system. Dray added that it is now common for hyperscalers to develop their own next-generation liquid cooling systems. In fact, electrical manufacturers like nVent provide critical development and test support to hyperscalers for custom systems. He concluded that any 'panic selling' in response to this news is overdone.
Meanwhile, Barclays analyst Julian Mitchell sees the possibility of suppliers being involved in AWS's liquid cooling technology. Furthermore, the top-rated analyst believes that AWS is unlikely to be making the in-row heat exchanger hardware in-house. Mitchell reiterated a Hold rating on VRT stock.
Is VRT a Good Stock to Buy?
Overall, Vertiv Holdings stock scores a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 13 Buys versus two Hold recommendations. The average VRT stock price target of $125.27 indicates about 4% upside potential from current levels.

Can Amazon Gain 35%? Top Analyst Cites Improving Macro Backdrop and AWS Strength
Morgan Stanley's top analyst, Brian Nowak, has increased the price target for Amazon stock (AMZN) by 20%, raising it to $300 from $250, while maintaining his Buy rating. The revised price target implies nearly 35% upside potential from current levels. The analyst cited an improving macroeconomic backdrop and a manageable tariff situation as the main drivers of his bullish outlook. In mid-April, Nowak had slashed the price target on AMZN stock due to uncertainty surrounding the U.S.-China trade deal. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Nowak ranks #788 out of the 9,867 analysts tracked on TipRanks. He boasts a 61% success rate and an average return per rating of 7.10%. Interestingly, Nowak has achieved even better results with his AMZN recommendations to date, recording a 79% success rate and an average return per rating of 24.33%. Why Is Morgan Stanley Bullish on AMZN? Nowak believes that the tariff environment has become 'more manageable' as trade deals between the U.S., China, and several other countries have been reached. Additionally, the analyst is highly optimistic about the growth potential of Amazon Web Services (AWS), backed by its rapid adoption. It is worth noting that Amazon is strengthening its partnership with the artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic, which could further bolster its performance. Notably, Anthropic uses AWS as its primary cloud provider, and AWS customers gain access to Anthropic's advanced AI models. Anthropic is one of the biggest challengers to ChatGPT maker OpenAI, with its Claude models attracting increased adoption due to their powerful multimodal capabilities. At the same time, AWS faces strong competition from Microsoft's (MSFT) cloud computing platform, Azure, which is also accelerating its generative AI offerings. Nonetheless, Nowak noted that AWS is better positioned to compete as growing AI demand drives more business to cloud providers. Finally, Nowak mentioned that a survey of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) revealed a much bigger demand for AWS' services compared to its rival, which is expected to drive faster growth. Nowak believes that AWS is tactically expected to gain further share over Microsoft, Alphabet (GOOGL), and Oracle (ORCL). All these factors have led Morgan Stanley to rate Amazon as its 'Top Pick' in the sector. Interestingly, Nowak's 'bull case scenario' sets a price target of $350 for AMZN stock, which implies an impressive 57% upside potential from current levels. The top analyst also increased Amazon's earnings per share (EPS) estimates for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 by 9% and 6%, respectively, in line with his optimistic view. Is AMZN a Strong Buy? average Amazon price target of $247.43 implies 11.3% upside potential from current levels. Year-to-date, AMZN stock has gained 1.3%.

Why Vertiv Stock Was Pulling Back Today
Amazon unveiled a new liquid-cooling system for AWS. It just announced it is running on servers with Nvidia Blackwell chips. 10 stocks we like better than Vertiv › Shares of Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), which makes infrastructure for cooling and power systems for data centers, were heading lower today on reports that Amazon could be challenging the company in cooling technology. As of 11:39 a.m. ET, the stock was down 7.3% on the news. Vertiv has been a big winner from the data center boom so it's not surprising to see Amazon trying to muscle in on its territory. In a blog post yesterday, Amazon touted an advance in liquid cooling for its P6e-GB200 Ultra Servers, an improvement from previous air cooling. That technique allows for higher compute density, which will make it easier for its customers to get up and running with Nvidia Blackwell GPUs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Last month, Amazon announced it had developed a new custom liquid cooling system in just 11 months, and it now seems to be deploying that technology as yesterday's announcement indicates. Amazon also said that the company had considered multiple liquid cooling solutions from other vendors, but realized they weren't a good fit for AWS. That was not a direct comment on Vertiv, but investors may be interpreting it that way. It's unclear if Amazon plans to sell the technology, but just using it for AWS would be enough to make waves in the data center market. AWS is still the biggest cloud infrastructure provider, meaning it has the greatest demand for computing power. The implication for Vertiv isn't clear at this point, but the stock is up roughly 10 times from where it was in 2022 before the artificial intelligence (AI) boom started. It's been seen as one of the most direct winners from AI, and is seeing strong growth with 25% organic net sales growth in the first quarter. For the near term, Vertiv's prospects look solid, but Amazon could look to challenge it in other ways as well, which could present greater problems for the growth story.
