Why Tech & DC Stock Kobay?

Subsequently, the fit-out process follows, during which newly built data centres are fitted with essential components like server racks, power distribution units, cooling systems, and security measures.

This is the phase where tech players like Kobay with exposure to server and server-related equipment will start to benefit.

“If we were to put a timeframe on this, our estimate would be the period of quarter four calendar year 2024 to first half of calendar year 2025, which is roughly the completion time for data centre construction jobs that started earlier this year,” said Kenanga.

Malaysian Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test services (OSAT) and Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) players may be relatively new to the server-related business, but they are well-versed in servicing multinational corporations (MNCs).

With a strong track record of capabilities and reliable deliveries, they are well positioned to excel in this expanding sector.
