About: Digital Realty owns and operates over 300 data centers worldwide. It has nearly 40 million rentable square feet across five continents. Digital's offerings range from retail co-location, where an enterprise may rent a single cabinet and rely on Digital to provide all the accommodations, to "cold shells," where hyperscale cloud service providers can simply rent much, or all, of a barren, power-connected building. In recent years, Digital Realty has de-emphasized cold shells and now primarily provides higher-level service to tenants, which outsource their related IT needs to Digital. The company operates as a real estate investment trust.

Ready, Set, REIT: Why 2025 Could Be A Breakout Year
The commercial real estate sector, valued at $26 trillion, offers diverse opportunities despite low growth and commoditized assets, with REITs providing accessible and liquid investment options. Rising interest rates have pressured REIT performance, yet current valuations present attractive opportunities, especially in sectors like data centers, telecommunications, and warehousing. Despite a challenging 2024, REITs remain financially robust with low leverage and strong access to capital, positioning them well for a potential rebound.

Digital Realty Trust: Textbook Short Squeeze (Playing With House Money Now)
Digital Realty has shown strong performance but is now overvalued, trading at nearly 29x P/AFFO, which is unsustainable given its low growth projections. Despite record leasing and backlog activity, Digital Realty's occupancy rates remain concerning, and its AFFO growth is not matching expectations. I'm shifting my rating to "Hold" and trimming shares, redeploying capital into American Tower and Prologis, which offer better valuation and growth prospects.
