Income / OppHub America angle
Not a trade tip — ways to use the insight outside the market.
- Monitor data center real estate investment trusts (REITs) leasing power and cooling capacity to hyperscalers.
What would break this thesis
- A sudden reduction in hyperscaler capital expenditure budgets or a sharp drop in secondary market hardware prices would invalidate the thesis.
