Shares of data center products and services company Vertiv (NYSEVRT)
fell 28.5% in the afternoon session as stocks heavily tied to the AI market took a hit after Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek released a new large language model (DeepSeek-R1) that ranks competitively on key global benchmarks (coding competitions, math evaluation), uses less advanced semiconductor chips, costs significantly less to build (at $5.5 million - excluding non-compute costs), and has already achieved strong adoption after topping the iPhone Play Store for AI apps.
Nvidia Corp. has thrown its support behind China's DeepSeek R1 artificial intelligence model, calling it "an excellent AI advancement" even as the startup's emergence triggered a historic $600 billion plunge in the chipmaker's market value on Monday.
The launch of DeepSeek affects the AI boom including the power, cooling and data center giants that once rode the AI euphoria, which now have single-day losses exceeding 20%.
Power usage effectiveness – PUE – will be the acronym of the future. Artificial intelligence has an appetite for data and electricity. Heat is the enemy, both to the equipment and the bottom lines of data centers. Vertiv Holdings Co. has a solution.
As the Q3 earnings season comes to a close, it’s time to take stock of this quarter’s best and worst performers in the electrical systems industry, including Hubbell (NYSEHUBB) and its peers.
