Price Performance
Growth Potential
- Australia is still in the early stages of cloud adoption. More efficient and cheaper broadband following the NBN’s implementation will drive demand from cloud providers for NXT’s assets.
- Extremely high-quality collection of sites.
- Focus on the premium end where pricing is more stable – Tier 4 gold centres.
- NXT has the balance sheet capacity to handle more debt and self-fund expansion through operating cash flow from the base buildings.
- Capital intensive nature of the sector provides a high barrier to entry.
- Government adoption of cloud and the subsequent need to outsource presents an opportunity.
- Strong customer ecosystem creates a ‘sticky’ customer base who are unlikely to churn.
- National footprint allows Company to scale better than competitors.
- Margin expansion as data centres ramp up and deliver strong operating leverage.
- Additional capacity announced.
- M&A activity given the global demand for data.
Key Risks
- No product diversification (NXT only operates data centres).
- Significant new supply of data centres by NXT and competitors.
- Delays in data centre build or ramp up, impacting earnings growth profile.
- Competitive pressures (price discounting by NXT or competitors).
- Higher power densities as a result of increasing average rack power utilization in Australia.
- Insufficient customer demand to achieve a satisfactory return on investments.
- Failure to obtain sufficient capital on favourable terms may hinder NXT’s ability to expand and pursue growth opportunities.
