TOMORROW’S TRADE IDEA, TODAY

Changing Things Up

Goodman Group (GMGSF) is in the process of transforming its warehouses into data centers. This move could allow the company to gain exposure to the huge surge in demand for AI infrastructure. 

The Australian property group claims to have access to over 4 gigawatts of electricity spread across 12 cities where it does business. 

According to Citigroup (C) analyst Howard Penny, this pivot could result in sizable “medium-term earnings growth” for the industrial property firm.

Making Moves

Goodman announced earlier this year that it would expand its data center operations in Asia. The project involves a new 50-watt data center in Hong Kong and as much as 1,000 megawatts of power delivered to Japan.

To support this growth, the company opened a new office in Singapore.

The Stock

Goodman stock is up over 50% YTD and 80% over the past 12 months, reflecting investor excitement surrounding its business model change. Citi has given it a price target of $26.50, signifying an upside of around 12%. 

According to Citi, the company is undervalued compared to some of its peers based on adjusted earnings. The bank also believes that its jump in P/E ratio is justified by the fact that its forward earnings projections are above its competition. 

AI is impacting everything these days, and industrial real estate isn’t immune. For investors looking for an outside-the-box way to invest in AI, this stock could be just the thing.
