In the past several years, interest in rating transactions backed by data centers has surged, as these facilities are considered a critical component of digital infrastructure worldwide. Several different factors drive growth in the data center market, and technological advances within digital infrastructure will have impacts on credit risk and opportunities, especially with increasing capital costs to meet high power and processing requirements of artificial intelligence (AI).

Morningstar DBRS has posted a replay of the methodology review webinar exploring our approach to rating data center transactions, presented by Ed Dittmer, Senior Vice President, North American CMBS, and Victor Leung, Senior Vice President, Infrastructure. Our discussion will showcase the different types of data centers and the analysis behind each type, the unique rating approach to data center backed transactions, and the relevant considerations for how and when a methodology may be applied across sectors.
