Data Centers
Data centre operators and developers with site control, power agreements and tenant commitments.
How We Read This Sector
Data centre businesses are real-asset businesses with a technology narrative. Investors underwrite them on site control, power, and the credit quality of the tenants — in that order.
What We Examine
Five areas that carry disproportionate weight in this sector.
Site control
Freehold title, leasehold terms or option agreements, with the certainty each provides.
Power procurement
Contracted capacity, grid connection status, tariff structure and the timeline to energisation.
Tenant commitments
Signed leases and their terms, separated from letters of intent and non-binding reservations.
Development stage
Permitting, construction status and the capital required to reach operation.
Operating metrics
Power usage effectiveness, redundancy tier and uptime history where facilities are live.
Where Companies in This Sector Get Caught
Development-stage data centre projects carry execution risk that must be disclosed clearly. Where the company is pre-construction and pre-tenant, we generally advise securing anchor commitments before considering a public-market pathway.
Sector Fit Is the Starting Point, Not the Test
Beyond sector-specific factors, every company is assessed against the same conditions: a verifiable asset, documented ownership, auditable financial reporting, management capable of operating a public company, and a budget to fund preparation.
