Global X Data Center & Digital Infrastructure ETF

DTCR

Market cap $489M

Global X Data Center & Digital Infrastructure ETF offers a compelling mix of Real Estate and Tech exposure, benefiting from AI infrastructure trends. DTCR has strong technical momentum, breaking out from key resistance with bullish chart patterns and a rising 200-day moving average. The ETF's top holdings—EQIX, DLR, and AMT—comprise 34% of assets, making their fundamentals and technicals crucial for DTCR's performance.

DTCR offers focused exposure to the booming data center and digital infrastructure sector, driven by AI, cloud computing, and 5G trends. The ETF is concentrated in high-growth companies, diversified globally, and outperforms its main competitor SRVR on cost and performance. Industry forecasts project double-digit growth for data centers, but investors must monitor risks like oversupply and increasing regulation.

Next-generation technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities are reshaping countries and industries all over the globe. And even if you don't want to directly invest into pure-play AI stocks (which can be expensive and risky), there are ways you can still benefit from AI-related growth.

One theme emerging from the first quarter earnings season is that the AI revolution is alive and well. Many companies, like Microsoft Corp. NASDAQ: MSFT and Meta Platforms Inc. NASDAQ: META, confirmed significant capital expenditure (CapEx) programs focusing on building out the AI infrastructure.

DTCR provides exposure to companies operating data centers and digital infrastructure, with a focus on physical assets rather than intellectual property-driven businesses like Nvidia (though DTCR does own NVDA). The fund's portfolio includes major players like American Tower and Equinix, but also carries geographical risk with significant Chinese holdings. Valuation metrics suggest DTCR is trading at a slight premium, with a forward P/E ratio of 23.80x and an expected return on equity of 10.46%.
