The Three Questions Deciding the AI Buildout.","author":"Globe Newswire","published_at":"2026-10-19T13:14:00.099Z","article_body":"Harmol Samra, Chief Executive Officer, Host Digital (NYSE American: HOST)\nletter to shareholders:\n\nNEW YORK, NY, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Host Digital Inc.\n(https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=hRM2R4nH7NHoXJDsK7Bi6B7ZuyTuTf9zhu3L1TL7IA9tuVeVgbQe4-jJgBYQz-aAts4Isx2iJm-kw_DE-rKFYtGv86VRoTE4OQ0USxcqZ4k=)\n(NYSE American: HOST). It's been a rough few weeks for anybody who owns a\nbasket of AI stocks, whether that's infrastructure developers, hyperscalers,\nneoclouds, or chipmakers, and Host Digital ($HOST) has taken more than its\nshare of the beating. I'm a significant shareholder myself, so I feel it in my\ngut the same way you do.\n\nSince we went public in September, I've spent most of my time with lenders and\nwith debt and equity investors, and the conversation keeps coming back to\nthree questions.\n1. What happens to your returns if interest rates stay high?\n2. How do you pay to build these things?\n3. How do all these megawatts turn into value for the people who own the\nstock?\nThey are fair questions, so let me take them one at a time.\n\nWe're the Landlord, Not the Chip Buyer or Token Seller\n\nWe're in a very different business from the companies that fill our data\ncenters. The hyperscalers and neoclouds that rent data centers from us carry\nthe obsolescence risk that comes with GPUs, since the chips they paid billions\nfor may need replacing every few years. The frontier labs carry the risk that\ntheir model isn't the one the world ends up using. But Host isn't in either of\nthose businesses.\n\nHost develops build-to-suit data centers. Think of us as the landlord of a\nspecialized building. We own the land, the building, the power rights, the\nelectrical gear, and the cooling. The tenant brings its own computers, and if\nit swaps out every chip three years from now, our lease doesn't change.\n\nHost's business plan includes delivering a turnkey data center that's ready\nfor our tenants to plug in their GPUs. That's harder to pull off than a\n“powered shell,” which is a less finished data center that some of our\npeers build. The difference comes down to how much we deliver as the landlord\nand how much work the tenant still has to do before its compute comes online.\nAt Host, we want to give our tenants the most complete solution possible, and\nthey generally reward us with higher contracted revenue.\n\nDelivering that kind of infrastructure adds another layer of complexity\nbecause it requires significant capital, both equity and debt. Host's team\ncomes from institutional finance, and we've spent our careers putting together\nthe most efficient capital structures for long-term infrastructure buildouts.\nOur Chairman, Shawn Matthews, ran Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. for nearly a decade,\nso financing is his home turf too.\n\nWhy Higher Rates Don't Break the Model\n\nThat experience comes in handy with the question I hear most from credit\ninvestors. So, what happens if rates stay higher for longer? We plan ahead to\nprotect ourselves by locking in the spread between what a building earns and\nwhat we pay to borrow, and we lock it in for the life of the lease.\n\nOur first site, Site I in northeast Oklahoma, shows how that works. As we've\npreviously disclosed, its lease is take-or-pay for 15 years, so the customer\npays for the capacity it reserved whether it uses all of it or not. Rent\nstarts at about $67 million in year one and increases 3% each year, totaling\nabout $1.25 billion in contracted revenue over the base term. If there's one\nthing I want every shareholder to understand about Host, it's this lease. Site\nI's base rent for the next 15 years is already fully contracted, and it grows\nevery year without us having to win it again. The tenant also pays the\nbuilding's operating expenses, including the electric bill.\n\nFor an AI company sitting on expensive chips or racing to get its next model\nout the door, even a six-month delay hurts far more than paying a little extra\nrent, even with rising rates. That's why customers pay a premium for power\nthat's ready now, and why our cash flows won't swing with every move in\nborrowing costs.\n\nSpeed to Power and Our RightScaled Strategy\n\nIn AI, the hardest thing to find right now is a place to plug in your compute.\nJLL, one of the world's biggest commercial real estate firms and a close\ntracker of the data center market, figures the average wait for a new U.S.\ndata center grid connection is now about 4 years, up from 12 to 18 months in\n2022.\n\nThat's why we built Host around what we call RightScaled sites, with roughly\n20 to 100 megawatts of grid power available now or in the near term. We look\nfor assets with electrical infrastructure and utility connections already in\nplace. It's a bit like buying a house and renovating it to fit your exact\nneeds, instead of buying land and building everything from scratch. Under our\nstrategy, we're starting months, and sometimes years, ahead of a developer\nwho's still out hunting for brand-new power.\n\nSite I came with an industrial building and a utility-owned substation already\non site. It has 55 megawatts of power available to our customer, and we're\ntargeting delivery in the first quarter of 2027.\n\nPaying for It the Smart Way\n\nBecause we're a landlord with a signed lease, we can finance each building the\nway real estate has been financed for generations. We raise debt capital as a\nloan secured by the site and its lease, and a portion of the rent repays the\nloan over time.\n\nAnd here's something that's very important to me, both as CEO and as a\nshareholder. Not all debt is created equal, and the difference shows up fast\nin what a company pays to borrow. Investment-grade debt goes to borrowers whom\nlenders are confident will repay, and it comes with lower rates and better\nterms. Non-investment-grade debt, what people used to call “junk debt,”\ncosts a lot more. Lately, some companies in our corner of the market have seen\ntheir debt priced at mid-double-digit interest rates, and I think that's a big\nreason investors have gotten so nervous about the whole group. That isn't the\nreality at Host; we're nowhere near it, and it starts with the corporations\nstanding behind the rent.\n\nLenders care about who's on the hook for the rent. Our tenant at Site I is one\nof the world's largest and longest-running privately held cloud infrastructure\ncompanies, and we expect the lease to be supported by a backstop from a\nU.S.-based, investment-grade global technology company. If you ever had a\nparent cosign an apartment lease for you, you already get the idea. The\nlandlord sleeps better, and so does the lender.\n\nThat credit support is what lets us secure investment-grade debt. We can\nborrow more against each building at lower rates from a much deeper pool of\nlenders, and that works in our shareholders' favor. At Site I, it means we\ndon't need to raise additional equity to fund the build.\n\nRightScaled helps here too, because our sites need a far more manageable loan\nthan a gigawatt campus does, and the universe of lenders that can handle loans\nour size is a lot larger.\n\nIt also helps that this team knows how to use debt. I've spent more than a\ndecade in real estate investing and digital infrastructure, with stops at\nMorgan Stanley, Starwood Capital, PGIM, and ICONIQ Capital, and Shawn's\nbanking career includes nearly ten years running Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.\nBetween the two of us, we know how to work with investment-grade\ncounterparties to get the best debt terms available for our shareholders.\n\nClosing the Valuation Gap\n\nWhen we closed our offering in September, the market valued Host at about $385\nmillion. Today, the market is valuing Host under $100 million, and we've still\ngot the same land, the same power, and the same signed lease with $1.25\nbillion in contracted revenue.\n\nI think the market wants proof that we can fund and deliver this building\nwithout crushing shareholders through dilution, and honestly, that's the right\nstandard. A megawatt on paper doesn't do much for anybody. A megawatt that's\nenergized, leased, financed, built, and collecting rent is what creates value\nper share.\n\nHow to Keep Score\n\nI'd watch three things. First, we finalize project financing for Site I.\nSecond, we finish the buildout on budget and deliver in the first quarter of\n2027, which is when rent starts. Third, we keep working toward additional\nsites, including Site II, a second energized site in northeast Oklahoma with a\nsigned 12-year take-or-pay lease worth roughly $391 million in base rent.\n\nBuilding Through the Noise\n\nI can't control what the market does day to day. I can control how we spend\nyour capital, building long-term, fully contracted infrastructure and\ndelivering for our customers on time.\n\nAI's still early, and every AI model, robot, and self-driving car runs on\ncomputing power that has to live in a building with electricity flowing into\nit. We've got the land, we've got the power, and we've got $1.25 billion in\ncontracted base rent at Site I. Now it's on us to execute.\n\nForward-Looking Statements\n\nThis press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of\nthe Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements\nregarding the proposed acquisition and development of one or more data center\nfacilities, including the potential acquisition of Site II; the timing of\ndelivery of the Company’s data center facilities to tenants; anticipated\ncontracted revenue, lease terms and renewal options; the Company’s\ndevelopment strategy and ability to execute and scale its business model.\nStatements that are not historical facts are based on current estimates,\nassumptions and projections and are not guarantees of future performance.\nWords such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,”\n“may,” “plans,” “will,” “would,” “could” and similar\nexpressions identify forward-looking statements, although not all\nforward-looking statements contain these words.\n\nForward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could\ncause actual results to differ materially, including risks relating to the\nCompany’s ability to obtain required financing, complete development and\ndeliver capacity on schedule; and other factors described in the Company’s\nfilings with the SEC, including under the header “Risk Factors” in Exhibit\n99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 17,\n2026.
