For NTT DC REIT, the muted reaction also makes sense. REIT investors still focus heavily on DPU growth and interest rates, and elevated bond yields are limiting upside for the sector. The market likely wants clearer proof that AI demand can support stronger distributions before rewarding the stock with a higher valuation.
Between them, I currently prefer AEM because semiconductor equipment stocks usually have much stronger earnings leverage during an AI upcycle. NTT DC REIT feels more like a slower long-term infrastructure story, while AEM offers higher growth potential despite the higher volatility.
