01Hyperscale data center oversupply risk as major cloud providers increasingly build proprietary facilities rather than leasing third-party capacity, reducing demand for merchant data centers
02Technological obsolescence risk as AI workloads require specialized cooling and power infrastructure (liquid cooling, 50+ MW campuses) that older facilities cannot economically retrofit
03Regulatory risk from data sovereignty requirements and energy consumption restrictions limiting data center development in key markets (EU, Singapore)
04Competition from larger infrastructure managers (Brookfield, Blackstone, KKR) with deeper capital bases and lower cost of capital for bidding on digital infrastructure assets
05Direct competition from publicly-traded digital REITs (Equinix, Digital Realty) that can use equity currency for acquisitions
06Compression of management fees as digital infrastructure becomes more commoditized and institutional investors demand lower fee structures
07Concentration risk in balance sheet investments if digital infrastructure valuations decline, directly impacting NAV per share

Watch on earnings: Hyperscale cloud provider (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) quarterly capex guidance as leading indicator of data center leasing demand, Private infrastructure fund transaction multiples for data center assets (EV/EBITDA) as proxy for portfolio valuations, 10-year Treasury yield and investment-grade credit spreads affecting infrastructure asset cap rates and financing availability.
One Sentence Summary:
The bear case: hyperscale data center oversupply risk as major cloud providers increasingly build proprietary facilities rather than leasing third-party capacity.
