Data Center Stocks Face Challenges in 2026

Limited Growth Prospects

The prospects for data center stocks in 2026 appear limited, primarily due to low liquidity and the absence of strong catalysts that could drive sustained price increases. According to Nafan Aji Gusta, Senior Market Chartist at Mirae Asset Sekuritas, stocks such as PT DCI Indonesia Tbk (DCII), PT Dian Swastatika Sentosa Tbk (DSSA), and PT Indointernet Tbk (EDGE) are currently not rated.

Liquidity Concerns

Nafan highlighted that the bid-offer spreads for these stocks remain wide, and their trading volumes are thin, making them less than ideal from a liquidity standpoint. This liquidity issue is a significant concern for investors looking for stocks with better market activity.

Business Operations and Future Prospects

DCII and EDGE operate primarily as data center players, meaning their prospects are heavily dependent on capacity expansion, utilization rates, and demand for cloud and colocation services. Any significant growth in these areas could potentially improve their prospects, but as of now, the outlook remains cautious.

Analyst Recommendations

The analysts at Mirae Asset Sekuritas maintain a cautious stance on these stocks until they demonstrate improved liquidity and clearer growth catalysts. Investors are advised to monitor developments in the data center sector closely, particularly any signs of increased demand or capacity expansion that could positively impact these stocks.
