The potential sale of a significant stake in CDC Data Centres by Bain Capital, valued at $5 billion, signals strong investor confidence and high demand in the Asian data center sector. This event, alongside other recent large transactions involving entities like KKR & Co., Singtel, and Vantage Data Centers, highlights the robust M&A activity and growth opportunities in digital infrastructure, driven by cloud computing and AI.
Bain Capital is looking to sell at least a 40% stake in CDC Data Centres, a Singapore-based data infrastructure builder, in a deal that could value the company at $5 billion. Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase have been hired to manage the sale, which has attracted interest from various private equity and infrastructure funds. Bain Capital is open to selling a controlling stake but is unlikely to fully exit at this time. This divestment comes amid a surge in investment in Asia's data center sector, fueled by increasing demand for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and digital services. Recent comparable transactions include KKR & Co. and Singtel acquiring ST Telemedia Global Data Centres for $5.2 billion, and Vantage Data Centers securing a $1.6 billion investment led by GIC (sovereign wealth fund) and United Arab Emirates — Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. CDC Data Centres, founded a decade ago, constructs hyperscale and co-location data centers in Malaysia, Thailand, and India, serving global tech clients. Bain Capital previously merged CDC Data Centres into Chindata Group, took Chindata Group private, and later sold it to a consortium led by Shenzhen Dongyangguang Industrial
