2314 GMT [Dow Jones]--Chances are good that NextDC clinches early contract wins once construction starts on its new Sydney data centers, according to UBS analysts. They think that development approval for the two centers will be a key catalyst for further acceleration in contracted capacity. The UBS analysts tell clients in a note that strong demand in New South Wales state should assist with early contract wins. After five months of its 2026 fiscal year, NextDC has almost matched the amount of contracted capacity it added in fiscal 2025. Investors will want to increase exposure to cloud adoption and artificial-intelligence growth, the analysts add. UBS lifts its target price 1.9% to A$21.85 and keeps a buy rating on the stock, which is up 2.0% at A$14.00. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
