YTD as of 2026-07-10 · source: Yahoo Finance
Digital Realty's thesis is 'the landlord of AI data centers — a real-asset way to ride AI capex through leasing.' As a hyperscale/wholesale REIT with 2025 revenue and core FFO/share each +10%, it builds capacity via a $9B development pipeline and a $3B US Hyperscale Fund — with AI leasing at record levels, demand is tied directly to hyperscaler capex. In the graph, Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud and NVIDIA pre-lease wholesale space downstream, while it depends upstream on HD Hyundai Electric (transformers) and Siemens Energy (grid), and the real pace of expansion hinges on power/transformer supply and construction lead times. The keys are absorbing pre-leases and securing power; the risks are reliance on a few hyperscaler tenants and the power bottleneck.
