Equity Bottom-Up

<p>Chindata is a data centre operator. It is the largest carrier-neutral hyperscale data centre operator in Asia-Pacific emerging markets as measured by capacity in service, according to Frost &amp; Sullivan. The MSCI May 2021 review period has just wrapped up, and Chindata is among the stocks with the highest probability of inclusion in the MSCI Standard index and the largest buying impact from passive funds - <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/msci-may-2021-index-rebalance-preview-let-the-games-begin" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:50473" rel="noopener">MSCI May 2021 Index Rebalance Preview: Let The Games Begin</a>.  </p><div class="content-highlight"><p>After touching $23.65 per ADS on 26 Feb 2021, Chindata has derated and is down 45% YTD. The last close price of $13.19 per ADS is 2% below the IPO price of $13.50 per ADS. The Asia-Pacific hyperscale data centre market remains a structural growth market in part due to the increasing prevalence of outsourcing data centre services, rising client demand for higher power density, and increasing regulatory requirements on data security. Overall, we think that Chindata remains an attractive play on these favourable market dynamics and the shares are worth a closer look. </p></div>
