Capital and Scale Create Unmatched Advantage
Established companies with strong credit quality are currently dominating in the data center market, benefiting from low capital costs and extensive operational experience. This competitive edge arises from significant investments made years prior, which are now yielding substantial returns. While the demand for resources has peaked and is declining, the infrastructure provided by hyperscalers remains unmatched. New entrants, such as Tesla or Twitter, face challenges in attaining similar capabilities, highlighting the capital-intensive nature of this industry. The fundamental business models of giants like Alphabet and Microsoft may evolve due to increasing capital intensity, but their established scale and continued investment suggest they will sustain above-average returns for the foreseeable future.
