Data Centers

The physical layer of the AI boom: the landlords, power providers, equipment makers, and hardware vendors turning roughly $380B a year of hyperscaler capital into powered, cooled, connected capacity. This is not one industry but six value chains pulled by the same demand: colocation and REITs, power generation and gas supply, electrical gear, cooling, construction, and the servers and networking that fill the racks. The binding constraint has shifted from chips to electricity.
