Context and risks
The sharp rise in 10-year yields (5.17%) is a direct drag for a REIT with Net Debt/EBITDA of 4.93, making its financing more expensive and pressuring the valuation of long-duration assets. The rate risk is material and specific to its capital structure.

Verdict: Hold; AI-driven growth is real, but rate exposure and an unsustainable payout limit appeal at these levels.
Main risk: The main risk is financial leverage (ND/EBITDA 4.93) combined with the 10-year yield rally, which makes debt more expensive and pressures a dividend with a 126.8% payout.
