NextDC Bull Sees Demand Supporting Earnings Upside -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Mar 09

0358 GMT - NextDC's bull at Citi reckons there is a decent chance that consensus earnings forecasts for fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028 are too low. Analyst Siraj Ahmed tells clients in a note that market forecasts only account for the Australian data-center operator's current contracted demand backlog. They don't include potential further contract announcements, which Ahmed thinks could emerge in Melbourne. He acknowledges that NextDC needs capital to meet the stronger-than-expected demand shown in its recent contract announcements, but writes that it has flexibility to fund near-term growth through mechanisms such as subordinated notes. Citi has a last-published buy rating on the stock, which is added to its Pan-Asia focus list. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
