Digital Realty Trust Sees 6GW Of Capacity Expansion In The Future

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is positioned for AI-driven data center growth, with 1.2GW under construction and a $1.8B backlog supporting visibility through 2028. DLR's expansion targets large-scale hyperscaler and AI inferencing customers, but shares may already reflect much of the anticipated growth, limiting near-term upside. I am downgrading DLR to Hold with a $215 price target (21.85x eFY28 EV/aEBITDA), citing premium valuation and a stagnant $4.88/share distribution since 2022.
