What else do investors need to know?
The SYD1 facility has reached full contract capacity and is set for a significant 88MW expansion, now fast-tracked due to stronger-than-expected demand. The first stage of this project, a 20MW addition, is targeting completion in Q2 of calendar year 2026.
DigiCo is also delivering cost savings via an organisational redesign, aiming to cut operating expenses by roughly $5 million per year.

What did DigiCo Infrastructure REIT management say?
Chief Executive Officer Michael Juniper said:
DGT enters the second half of FY26 with strong momentum and a clear path to unlocking long term value. In the past six months, we have demonstrated the strength of our underlying platform, secured substantial new capacity, executed meaningful steps to simplify our operating model and materially accelerated our capacity expansion at SYD1.
Every action we’re taking is about closing the gap between DGT’s NAV and security price to ensure our market valuation reflects the underlying value of our assets and growing earnings base. We are focused on delivering sustainable, high quality growth for our investors.
