Key developments

Overall, listed digital infrastructure stocks in the region did well in 2024 as demand for AI infrastructure saw growing interest in the sector.  Over 2025, a gradual investor turn against tech stocks and “AI hype” has weighed on stock prices.

Uniti Group (US)

Uniti Group’s stock has risen by close to 19% during January, after the company announced that it has completed its inaugural Kinetic fibre-to-the-home securitisation, issuing US$960.1 million of secured fibre network revenue term notes with anticipated repayment in February 2031. The notes are backed by residential fibre assets and customer agreements across five U.S. states. Proceeds will support fibre expansion, balance sheet strengthening, and potential debt repayment, reflecting strong investor demand for the transaction.

Digital Realty

Digital Realty’s stock has lifted by around 7% during the month, as the company announced its planned entry into Malaysia through the acquisition of TelcoHub 1, a highly connected 1.5MW data centre in Cyberjaya hosting over 40 network service providers and more than 6,000 fibre cores. The deal includes adjacent land supporting up to 14MW of future capacity. The campus will integrate into Digital Realty’s global data centre platform and offer on-demand interconnection services for regional and cloud connectivity.

NextDC

NextDC’s stock has risen by around 6% during January despite the company not releasing any price sensitive announcements. The company did notify investors that its development application for its M4 Melbourne Data Centre located at Port Melbourne has received the necessary Planning Permit from the Victorian Government. The stock has shown some volatility in the last year and is down roughly 10% year-on-year.
