The smartest technology analyst you've probably never heard of just published a presentation that reframes the entire AI investment thesis — and if you're still thinking about this as a software story, you're already behind.
Smart money is piling into data centers and senior housing. One top activist REIT investor is making contrarian bets. INVH and NHI could be overlooked beneficiaries.
Investor interest in the AI space continues to grow, with many focusing on AI infrastructure plays to meet the increasing demand for data centers or on semiconductor stocks building the components necessary for AI platforms to function. One potentially overlooked area that is vital to AI but not directly related to the technology itself is land.

Digital Realty Trust offers a robust platform in data center REITs, but its preferred stocks present a superior risk-adjusted yield for conservative investors. DLR's preferred shares (DLR.PR.J, DLR.PR.K, DLR.PR.L) yield 6.4–6.5%, trade below par, and carry investment-grade ratings, outpacing both common stock and OTC bonds. Key credit metrics include a net debt/EBITDA of 5.5x, EBITDA coverage of 6x, and a low leverage ratio of 31.62%, supporting financial stability.

Yes, some stocks can mostly avoid exposure to these external threats.
Digital Realty Trust (DLR) preferred shares, particularly Series J (DLR.PR.J) and Series L (DLR.PR.L), are rated a buy for relatively higher current income seeking investors. DLR preferreds offer a ~6.46% yield, significantly higher than the common stock's ~2.5%, with a meaningful discount to par and potential for capital appreciation if rates decline. The company's robust $1.8 billion backlog, strong demand for digital infrastructure, and stable debt maturity profile suggests the safety of preferred distributions, along with consistent payout history.
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.

DLR beats Q1 estimates as leasing strength, record backlog and strong demand drive growth, prompting a higher 2026 outlook.
DLR's beneficiary status has been observed in the growing backlog by +95.8% YoY and the higher rental rates, with it underscoring their likely to be robust, multi-year, profitable growth trends. Thanks to the ongoing capacity expansions and accretive M&A activities, it is unsurprising that the management has raised their FY2026 guidance and the stock well buoyed since December 2025 bottom. The rally has consequently triggered DLR's somewhat premium Price/FFO of 25.27x and a moderating forward dividend yield, along with the notably overbought technical indicators.

Markets also found support from lukewarm inflation data and signs that the U.S. labor market continues to demonstrate resilience despite elevated energy costs and geopolitical uncertainty.
