ROTHSCHILD REDBURN LAUNCHES COVERAGE ACROSS AI DATA CENTER NAMES $NBIS: SELL, $84 PT Says Nebius has a demanding valuation and questions the sustainability of its unit economics. Upside could come from newer-generation GPUs, faster growth of its Token Factory inference business and stronger capacity execution. Risks include customers bringing compute in-house and higher funding costs. $CRWV: SELL, $54 PT Redburn questions CoreWeave's unit economics and ability to convert its pipeline into attractive returns. Key risks include hyperscalers or AI labs bringing capacity in-house, falling GPU pricing and higher financing costs. $DLR: BUY, $227 PT Highlights Digital Realty's global wholesale and colocation footprint, long-term tenant contracts and expansion into larger, higher-density facilities built for AI workloads and hyperscale customers. $EQIX: BUY, $1,261 PT Points to Equinix's global interconnection ecosystem as a key advantage, with AI, HPC, enterprise and cloud customers increasingly needing high-density compute close to networks and other infrastructure. $IRM: BUY, $132 PT Iron Mountain has expanded beyond its legacy records-storage business into data centers, information management and IT asset lifecycle services, while developing more power-dense capacity for AI workloads. The miner-to-AI names were treated much more cautiously: $APLD: NEUTRAL, $22 PT Says unit economics and pipeline-conversion risks are already well priced in. Upside comes from lower build/operating costs and additional large tenant signings. Risks include local opposition, construction delays and tenant insolvency. $IREN: NEUTRAL, $40 PT Sees upside from additional large-scale AI tenants and better execution at existing sites. Risks include difficulty securing tenants, higher funding costs and delays or cancellations. $WULF: NEUTRAL, $15 PT Potential upside comes from securing additional U.S. capacity and signing more major tenants. Permitting issues and state-level opposition are key risks. $CIFR: NEUTRAL, $18 PT Sees better or faster grid-capacity allocation and more major tenant deals as upside. Tenant pullouts and buildout delays are the main downside risks. $HUT: NEUTRAL, $96 PT Upside depends on faster data-center execution and securing additional grid capacity. Delays or cancellations in the buildout remain the key risk. $CORZ: NEUTRAL, $16 PT Core Scientific has been shifting capacity from Bitcoin mining toward AI/HPC hosting after emerging from bankruptcy, while continuing its mining business. Its proposed acquisition by CoreWeave collapsed last year after shareholders rejected the deal.

AN OPENAI AI AGENT BROKE INTO AN AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT SYSTEM. And according to Australia’s Prime Minister, it happened after the AI was repeatedly told “no.” On June 18, OpenAI’s research team used an internal model to research public medicine spending. The agent encountered blocks while trying to access information. But it didn’t stop. It tried alternative routes, found a way around the restrictions and gained unauthorised access to Australia’s Medicare statistics reporting portal. It accessed both public and non-public files. And according to Services Australia, the agent even wrote files to the internal server. So far, authorities say there is no evidence that personal Medicare information was accessed, but a forensic investigation is still underway. Then comes another major part of the story: The incident happened in June. OpenAI didn’t notify the Australian government until September 10, nearly three months later, initially through an email sent to a public Services Australia inbox. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has now spoken directly with Sam Altman, saying Australia had “extreme concern” about both the incident and the delay in reporting it. Australia has launched a taskforce to investigate what happened and whether other government systems were affected. Albanese’s conclusion: “Humans must remain in control.” This incident shows how quickly the conversation around AI is changing. The question is no longer only what an AI can generate. It’s what happens when AI is given the ability to act and keeps acting when it encounters a boundary. As we enter the agentic era, permissions, limits and human checkpoints may become just as important as intelligence itself. If an AI agent can ignore a “no” and find another way in, who should define its boundaries? A handful of companies behind closed doors, or the people whose lives those systems affect?
